The Central Nervous System

Dopamine (DA) is an important catecholamine neurotransmitter that plays a highly relevant role in regulating the central nervous system, and abnormal DA content can cause many immune-related diseases. Hence, it is of significance to sensitively and specifically identify DA for clinical medicine. In this work, Pt/NH2-MIL-101 hybrid nanozymes with bimetallic catalytic centers were fabricated by forming coordinate bonds between Pt nanoparticles (Pt NPs) and –NH2 on metal–organic frameworks (MOF). The catalytic activity of Pt/NH2-MIL-101 was increased by 1.5 times via enlarging the exposure of more active sites and improving the activity of the active sites through the strategy of forming bimetallic catalytic centers. In the presence of DA, competing with 3, 3′, 5, 5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) for the generated hydroxyl radicals (•OH), the blue oxidation state TMB (Ox-TMB) is reduced to colorless TMB, showing dramatic color changes. The Pt/NH2-MIL-101-based colorimetric assay enables the sensitive and robust detection of DA molecules with a detection limit of only 0.42 μM and has an observable potential in clinical applications.

Abstract Ochratoxin A (OTA) is one of the predominant mycotoxins that contaminate a wide range of food commodities. In the present study, a 36-mer aptamer was used as a molecular recognition element coupled with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) for colorimetric detection of OTA in a microfluidic paper-based analytical device (µPADs). The µPADs consisted of three zones: control, detection, and sample, interconnected by channels. The biophysical characterizations of aptamer conjugated AuNPs were done by UV-vis spectroscopy (UV-vis), dynamic Light Scattering (DLS), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The developed colorimetric assay for OTA showed a limit of detection of 242, 545, and 95.69 ng/mL in water, corn, and groundnut, respectively. The HPLC detection method achieved acceptable coefficient in standard curves (r2 = 0.9995), better detection range, and recovery rates in spiked corn and groundnut samples as 43.61 ± 2.18% to 87.10 ± 1.82% and 42.01 ± 1.31% to 86.03 ± 2.64% after multiple sample extractions and cleanup steps. However, the developed µPADs analytical device had the potent ability to rapidly detect OTA without any extraction pre-requirement, derivatization, and cleanup steps, thus illustrating its feasibility in the animal health sector, agricultural, and food industries.

A colorimetric assay was developed for the detection of biothiols, based on the peroxidase-like activity of iodine-capped gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). These AuNPs show a synergetic effect in the form of peroxidase-mimicking activity at the interface of AuNPs, while free AuNPs and iodine alone have weak catalytic properties. Thus, iodine-capped AuNPs possess good intrinsic enzymatic activity and trigger the oxidation of 3,3’,5,5’-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB), leading to a change in color from colorless to yellow. When added to solution, biothiols, such as cysteine, strongly bind to the interface of AuNPs via gold-thiol bonds, inhibiting the catalytic activity of AuNPs, resulting in a decrease in oxidized TMB. Using this strategy, cysteine could be linearly determined, at a wide range of concentrations (0.5 to 20 μM), with a detection limit of 0.5 μM using UV-Vis spectroscopy. This method was applied for the detection of cysteine in diluted human urine.

To resolve the occurrence of unfulfillable detection in high-salts foods, we used fluorescence resonant energy transfer (FRET) sensors based on nanoparticle upconversion. In this study, we developed a novel FRET sensor for the detection of bisphenol A (BPA) in high-salt foods. We based this approach on the assembly of aptamer modified upconversion nanoparticles (DNA1-UCNPs) and complementary DNA modified metal organic frames (DNA2-MOFs), which possessed corresponding wavelength absorption. Targeting BPA signal transduction was performed using the BPA aptamer, via competitive recognition between the BPA analyte and complementary DNA sequences in a high-salt solution. Sensor adaption in high-salt samples was attributed to functional hydrophilic groups, modified in the MOFs, and the enhanced colloidal stability of these MOFs. The MOF-UCNP assembly displayed considerable analytical performance in terms of BPA detection, with a linear range of 0.1–100 nM, and a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.02 nM, in a 340 mM NaCl food sample (the energy drink, Gatorade). Thus, this method provides a solid basis for small molecules detection in high-salt foods.

A new colorimetric assay for the detection of sulfide anions with high sensitivity and selectivity is reported, utilizing Au-Hg alloy nanorods (Au-HgNRs) as probe. Au-HgNRs were prepared by modifying gold nanorods (AuNRs) with reducing agent and mercury ions. In an aqueous solution with sulfide anions, the formation of mercuric sulfide due to redox reaction between the amalgams and sulfide anions greatly changed the surface chemistry and morphology of the Au-HgNRs, leading to a red shift of the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) absorption peak, accompanied by a change in colorimetric response. A good linear relationship was obtained between the LSPR peak wavelength shift and concentration of sulfide anion in the range of 1 × 10−5−1 × 10−4 mol/L. The selectivity of this method has been investigated by other anions. The colorimetric sensing system successfully detected sulfide in wastewater from leather industry.

H2o2 Detection

Hydrogen peroxide is a low-reactivity reactive oxygen species (ROS); however, it can easily penetrate cell membranes and produce highly reactive hydroxyl radical species through Fenton’s reaction. Its presence in abnormal amounts can lead to serious diseases in humans. Although the development of a simple, ultrasensitive, and selective method for H2O2 detection is crucial, this remains a strategic challenge. The peroxidase mimetic activity of palladium nanoclusters (PdNCs) has not previously been evaluated. In this study, we developed an ultrasensitive and selective colorimetric detection method for H2O2 using PdNCs. An unprecedented eco-friendly, cost-effective, and facile biological method was developed for the synthesis of PdNCs. This is the first report of the biosynthesis of PdNCs. The synthesized nanoclusters had a significantly narrow size distribution profile and high stability. The nanoclusters were demonstrated to possess a peroxidase mimetic activity that could oxidize peroxidase substrate 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB). Various interfering substances in serum (100 μM phenylalanine, cysteine, tryptophan, arginine, glucose, urea, Na+, Fe2+, PO43−, Mn+2, Ca2+, Mg2+, Zn2+, NH4+, and K+) were included to evaluate the selectivity of the assay, and oxidation of TMB occurred only in the presence of H2O2. Therefore, PdNCs show an efficient nanozyme for the peroxidase mimetic activity. The assay produced a sufficient signal at the ultralow concentration of 0.0625 µM H2O2. This colorimetric assay provides a real-time, rapid, and easy-to-use platform for the detection of H2O2 for clinical purposes.

In this study, trace arsenic(iii) (AsIII) in aqueous solution was detected by applying a classical aptamer-based gold nanoparticles colorimetric sensing strategy. An arsenic aptamer was used as a sensing probe and gold nanoparticles as a colorimetric indicator. In the absence of AsIII, the gold nanoparticles were stabilised by the arsenic aptamer and remained dispersed at high NaCl concentrations, displaying a red solution. Contrarily, in the presence of AsIII, the gold nanoparticles were prone to aggregation, owing to the formation of aptamer–AsIII complex between the arsenic aptamer and AsIII, and thus exhibited a blue solution. By monitoring the colour change, a simple and fast colorimetric assay for AsIII was established with a detection range of 1.26–200 ppb and a detection limit of 1.26 ppb. Because this colorimetric assay only involves common reagents and can be assessed visually, it holds great potential for arsenic(iii) monitoring in environment-related and other applications.
