In this study, a simple, efficient, and reliable dual-mode sensing system based on hemin-G-quadruplex (G4) DNAzyme was established to detect adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and assess fish freshness. The system enables highly sensitive and reliable analysis of target ATP, and the ATP level detected in perch samples was linearly correlated with microbial content. The proposed DNAzyme-based dual-mode strategy for freshness evaluation offers a promising and cost-effective method for food safety and quality monitoring.
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the main carrier of chemical energy, plays a key role in various biochemical reactions such as cellular metabolism. Currently, ATP levels are considered important indicators of microbial content in food safety, and food freshness can be determined by detecting ATP content. Some ATP sensing strategies have been applied to evaluate food freshness. However, cumbersome nanomaterial preparation, low sensitivity, and low reliability hamper their widespread application. Herein, a simple, high-performance, and reliable dual-mode sensing system based on hemin-G-quadruplex (G4) DNAzyme was established to detect ATP and assess fish freshness. Two nucleic acid probes, including subunits of the hemin-G4 DNAzyme in inactive structures and anti-ATP aptamer, self-assemble upon the input of ATP into the active hemin-G4 DNAzyme unit. The generated DNAzyme acts as a biocatalyst for colorimetric or fluorescent readout of the sensing process. The colorimetric and fluorescent dual-mode sensing system enables highly sensitive and reliable analysis of target ATP with detection limits of 71 nM and 73 nM, respectively. Moreover, the biosensor exhibited good selectivity for differentiating ATP from other interfering analytes. The proposed system was used to detect ATP in perch samples, and a linear correlation between ATP level and microbial content was confirmed. The established ATP -sensing system reliably evaluated fish freshness. Notably, in comparison with microbiological counts, the proposed DNAzyme-based dual-mode strategy for freshness evaluation is facile, highly efficient, and cost-effective, thus providing a promising method for food safety and quality monitoring.
