Article Abstract
In this work, an auto-identify sensor was constructed for rapid and high-precision detection of L-histidine. The proposed strategy is based on the auto-identify algorithm and the aggregation of alkynyl and azide functionalized gold nanoparticles induced by the Cu catalyzed azides and alkynes cycloaddition (CuAAC) reaction. Specially, the color of scattering light spots for the aggregated gold nanoparticle (AuNPs) caused by CuAAC reaction was quite different from that of the monomers. However, L-histidine can bind to Cu and inhibits the production of Cu, hence preventing the aggregation of AuNPs. Therefore, there is a distinct change of color as the addition of L-histidine under dark-field microscopy. Then, L-histidine can be quantitatively detected by combining the color change with the Meanshift algorithm accurately and automatically. Such proposed method has been successfully applied for the detection of L-histidine in serum sample with satisfying result.

Electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) methods have been widely used in clinical diagnosis. Although ECL peptide-based biosensors continue to grow with good sensitivity and signal flexibility, little emphasis has been placed on the effect of the peptide sequence on ECL sensitivity. We herein studied the nuanced effects of different peptide sequences on the analytical performance of ECL peptide-based biosensors for matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP-2) assay, in which [(pbz)Ir(DMSO)Cl] (pbz = 3-(2-pyridyl)benzoic acid) was used as the ECL emitter while a specific peptide was used as the molecular recognition element.

Doubly His-tagged mCherry red fluorescent proteins are observed to form fibers and sheets at neutral pH in the presence of no more than equimolar amounts of Zn or Ni. These architectures, on the order of 10 μm in extent, are detected with scanning transmission electron microscopy imaging. Far ultraviolet circular dichroism spectroscopy attests to the preservation of the native secondary structure of mCherry, while the emission spectrum reveals the maintenance of the chemical environment of the fluorophore site.

Abnormal levels of trypsin in the human body can lead to various diseases, yet conventional detection methods often lack operational simplicity and real-time readout capabilities. This work presents a state-of-the-art metal organic framework (MOF) nanozyme-integrated liquid crystal (LC) sensor (MHN-LC sensor) and demonstrates the detection of trypsin as a proof of the concept. By rational engineering of the MOF-808 framework with Al and l-histidine coordination, a novel MOF nanozyme (MHis-NE) exhibiting exceptional acetylcholinesterase (AChE)-mimetic activity is successfully prepared.

Electrochemiluminescence (ECL) is rapidly emerging as an excellent electrochemical analytical technique for the specific and sensitive detection of various biomarkers and hazardous trace metals. Among ECL emitters, gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) have proven to be excellent luminophores due to their remarkable luminescent properties, stability, and biocompatibility. However, the low ECL efficiency of AuNCs precludes their application in ultrasensitive biosensing.

Mimicking the structure of natural laccase, we designed and synthesized a Cu-clusterzyme with Cu atom as the catalytic center, histidine and cysteine as the recognition unit and auxiliary fluorescence unit, respectively (denoted as Cys-His-CuNCs). Cys-His-CuNCs integrate the dual properties of laccase-like catalysis and fluorescence-sensing, and can simultaneously catalyze and detect the neurotransmitter epinephrine (EP). Cys-His-CuNCs exhibit a 44-fold higher catalytic activity than laccase.
