Nitrogen-, Sulfur-, and Fluorine-Codoped Carbon Dots with Low Excitation Potential and High Electrochemiluminescence Efficiency for Sensitive Detection of Matrix Metalloproteinase-2

Yu-Zhuo Guo et al.

Summary: In this study, nitrogen-, sulfur-, and fluorine-codoped carbon dots (NSF-CDs) were developed as high electrochemiluminescence (ECL) emitters for the fabrication of an ECL biosensor to detect matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP-2). Compared to previous carbon dots, NSF-CDs with narrow band gap reduced side reactions and damage to biomolecules, and had hydrogen bonds to greatly enhance ECL efficiency. Additionally, an improved nucleic acid amplification method was used to convert trace MMP-2 into a mass of output DNA, significantly improving the target conversion efficiency and ECL signal. The ECL biosensor successfully detected MMP-2 from 10 fg/mL to 10 ng/mL with a limit of detection of 6.83 fg/mL and was applied in the detection of MMP-2 from Hela and MCF-7 cancer cells. This strategy offers novel ECL emitters for sensitive biomarker testing in medical research.

Design nanoprobe based on DNA tetrahedron supported hybridization chain reaction and its application to in situ analysis of bacteria

Longfei Tang et al.

Summary: A new nanoprobe (DTAAT) was designed based on DNA tetrahedron supported hybridization chain reaction (HCR) for in situ analysis of bacteria. By coupling antibody-aptamer conjugate (AA) with DNA tetrahedron (DT) and linking it with trigger strand (A), DTAAT can precisely recognize bacteria through dual binding, releasing a trigger strand complementary to the aptamer. The released trigger strand induces efficient HCR at three vertices of DT using proximity effect, with a reaction rate of 359.29 min-1 compared to 212.60 min-1 for free HCR. DTAAT enables in situ imaging and single-cell characterization of bacteria, with high specificity and anti-interference capability for quantitative analysis.

DNA tetrahedral scaffold-corbelled 3D DNAzyme walker for electrochemiluminescent aflatoxin B1 detection

Zongbing Li et al.

Summary: The immobilization efficiency of surface-based DNA walker can be improved by fixing three-dimensional (3D) DNAzyme walker on the top of DNA tetrahedral scaffold. With Ferrocene (Fc) labeled at the ends of substrate strand, the electrochemiluminescence (ECL) signal of Ru(bpy)2(cpaphen)2 +/- can be effectively quenched, resulting in a signal-off state of the sensor. Upon the addition of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), the 3D DNAzyme walker is activated and releases Fc, thus recovering the ECL signal. The high movement efficiency of the 3D DNAzyme walker enables ultrasensitive detection of AFB1 with a detection limit of 0.58 fg mL-1 in the range of 1.0 fg mL- 1-10 ng mL-1. Satisfactory results were also obtained when detecting AFB1 in corn and peanut samples, indicating its potential application in food safety analysis.
