Article Abstract
Based on the fluorescence enhancement property of the G-triplex (G3)-Thioflavin T (ThT) complex, a fluorescent biosensor was successfully constructed for detection of ALP using a G3-based dumbbell-shaped probe (DP). In this work, calf intestinal ALP (CIP) can act on the 5'-terminal phosphate of DP, thereby regulating the subsequent DNA ligation reaction and enzyme cleavage of the DP nick. When the DP is digested by exonuclease, the released G3 can bind to ThT, resulting in enhanced fluorescence signal. The linear range of the sensor for CIP detection is 0.00002-0.002 U/μL, and the detection limit is 1.8 × 10 U/μL. The proposed method has the advantages of simplicity, no fluorophore labeling, and low cost, which was successfully applied to the screening of enzyme inhibitors and ALP determination in human serum samples. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of a biosensor using G3-ThT as the signal indicator for ALP detection, which should promote the further exploitation of applying G3-ThT complex in the field of various targets recognition and analysis.

Six sets of tetracyanoaurate(III) salts were synthesized and structurally characterized using the metal-ligand complex cations [RE(bipyO)] (RE = Sc, Y, La; bipyO = 2,2'-bipyridine-N,N'-dioxide), [Fe(bipyO)], [Ln(dmbipyO)] (Ln = Ce, Eu, Yb; dmbipyO = 4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine-N,N'-dioxide), [Ca(tcmc)] (tcmc = 1,4,7,10-tetrakis-(carbamoylmethyl)-1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane), and [Ca(12-crown-4)]. Noncovalent assembly of the [Au(CN)] anions tended to occur via Au···N interactions; however, rare Au(III)···Au(III) contacts between the [Au(CN)] groups - suggesting aurophilicity - could be induced when certain cation shape requirements were met. Specifically, cations with shape, size, and symmetry that allowed for packing in a complementary fashion with Au(III)···Au(III) aligned [Au(CN)] dimers or trimers - providing efficiently close-packed layers - were found to be sufficient for manifesting Au(III)···Au(III) contacts.

Background: On the one hand, for most of isothermal polymerization-based biosensing, the detection signals are uniformly originated from non-specific fluorescent staining that usually leads to high background or false positive, which limited their applications in molecular diagnostics. On the other hand, in virtue of characteristic advantages including but not limited to short preparation time (<5 min), large Stokes shift (>230 nm) and high template dependence, DNA-templated copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) enable low-cost and label-free signal transduction in low-background fluorescent sensing, which thus are ideal candidates for signal sources in promising molecular diagnostics.
Results: Herein, we developed highly sensitive and label-free methods for one-tube biomarkers sensing based on self-priming isothermal polymerization (SPIP) engineered in-situ generation of DNA-templated CuNPs.

Accurate monitoring of base excision repair (BER) activity in cancer cells is critical for advancing the comprehension of DNA repair processes, gaining insights into cancer development, and guiding treatment strategies. However, current assay techniques for assessing BER activity in cancer cells face challenges due to the heterogeneous origins and diversity of BER enzymes. In this work, we present a hihly relible riple loop-intrlocked DNA coec (GATED) that enables precise assessment of BER activity in cancer cells through signal amplification mediated by multienzyme orthogonal activation.

MicroRNA (miRNA) represents a class of important potential biomarkers, and their intracellular imaging is extremely useful for fundamental research and early diagnosis of human cancers. Hybridization chain reaction (HCR) has been shown to be effective in detecting miRNA in living cells. However, its practical applications are still hampered by inefficient reaction kinetics and poor biological stability under complex intracellular conditions.
