Using a guanine-rich sequence (AGRO100) and N-methyl mesoporphyrin IX (NMM), a turn-on and label-free fluorescent Pb2+ sensor with high sensitivity and low background fluorescence was presented as a representative of five turn-on sensing systems.

A highly sensitive and label-free microbead-based ‘turn-on’ assay was developed for the detection of Hg2+ in urine based on the Hg2+-mediated formation of intermolecular split G-quadruplex–hemin DNAzymes. In the presence of Hg2+, T–T mismatches between the two partial cDNA strands were stabilized by a T–Hg2+–T base pair, and can cause the G-rich sequences of the two oligonucleotides to associate to form a split G-quadruplex which is able to bind hemin to form the catalytically active G-quadruplex–hemin DNAzyme. This microbead-based ‘turn-on’ process allows the detection of Hg2+ in urine samples at concentrations as low as 0.5 pM. The relative standard deviation and recovery are 1.2–3.9 and 98.7–103.2%, respectively. The remarkable sensitivity for Hg2+ is mainly attributed to the enhanced mass transport ability that is inherent in homogeneous microbead-based assays. Compared with previous developments of intermolecular split G-quardruplex–hemin DNAzymes for the homogeneous detection of Hg2+ (the limit of detection was 19nM), a signal enhancement of ~1000 times is obtained when such an assay is performed on the surface of microbeads.

Herein we propose a label-free and sensitive detection method for coralyne and heparin, based on utilizing the complex of adenosine16 (A16) and coralyne to induce the formation of a G-quadruplex scaffold.

We report a label-free, fast, fluorescence turn on assay for Hg2+detecton by using mercury-specific DNA (MSD), Sybr Green I (SG) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). SG efficiently discriminates MSD and MSD/Hg2+complex. The addition of gold nanoparticle decreases the background fluorescence signal further for MSD. The fluorescence intensity of MSD/Hg2+complex keeps constant after addition of AuNPs. This property improves the signal-to-background ratio and decreases the detection limitation further. In addition, the method shows improved selectivity compared with that in the absence of AuNPs. This strategy could be applied to the detection of potassium ions and showed good generality.
