A generalizable sensing platform based on molecularly imprinted polymer-aptamer double recognition and nanoenzyme assisted photoelectrochemical-colorimetric dual-mode detection
In this study, a generalizable photoelectrochemical-colorimetric dual-mode sensing platform was constructed based on the synergistic effects of a molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP)-aptamer sandwich structure and nanoenzymes. The MIP functionalized peroxidase-like Fe3O4 (Fe3O4@MIPs) and alkaline phosphatase mimic Zr-MOF labeled aptamer (Zr-mof@Apt) were used as the recognition elements. By selectively accumulating dibutyl phthalate (DBP), a small molecule target model, on Fe3O4@MIPs, the formation of Zr-MOF@Apt-DBP- Fe3O4@MIPs sandwich structure was triggered. Fe3O4@MIPs oxidized TMB to form blue-colored oxTMB. However, up...

The closed bipolar electrode system was tested using cyclic voltammetry, with L-lactate as a model substrate. L-Lactate was detected through measurement of the change in junction potential across the bipolar electrode. This change in junction potential was caused by reduction of amino reactive phenazine ethosulfate conjugated to Aerococcus vilidans derived engineere...

Aggregation-induced emission of TTCPy-3: A novel approach for eradicating Nocardia seriolae infections in aquatic fishes
This study introduces luminogens with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) as an innovative and non-antibiotic therapy for N. seriolae. Specifically, the AIE photosensitizer, TTCPy-3 is employed against N. seriolae. We evaluated the antibacterial activity of TTCPy-3 and investigated the killing mechanism against N. seriolae, emphasizing its ability to aggregate within the bacterium and produce reactive oxygen species (ROS). TTCPy-3 could effectively aggregate in N. seriolae, generate ROS, and perform real-time imaging of the bacteria. A bactericidal efficiency of 100% was observed while concentrations exceeding 4 μM in the ...

Integrating target-responsive microfluidic-based biosensing chip with smartphone for simultaneous quantification of multiple fluoroquinolones
In this study, the background-free properties of upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs), the high specificity of the target aptamer (Apt), and the high quenching properties of graphene oxide (GO) were integrated into a microfluidic-based fluorescence biosensing chip (MFBC). Interestingly, the microfluidic channels of the MFBC were prepared by laser-printing technology without the need for complex preparation processes and additional specialized equipment. The target-responsive fluorescence biosensing probes loaded on the MFBC were prepared by self-assembly of the UCNPs-Apt complex with GO based on π-π stacking interactions, ...
