Article Abstract

Prolidase (PLD) plays a crucial role as a dipeptidase in various physiological processes, specifically involved in the cleavage of proline-containing dipeptides for efficient recycling of proline. The accurate determination of PLD activity holds significant importance in clinical diagnosis. Herein, a solid-state electrochemiluminescence (ECL) biosensor was developed to address the urgent need for PLD assay. The Ru(bpy) was electrophoretically deposited within the nanochannels of vertically-ordered mesoporous silica film (VMSF) on indium tin oxide (ITO) electrodes. The Ru(bpy)-deposited VMSF/ITO (Ru-VMSF/ITO) exhibited a remarkable ECL response towards proline, attributed to the enhanced concentration of the reactants and improved electron transfer resulting from the nanoconfinement effect. As PLD specifically enzymolyzed the Gly-Pro dipeptide to release proline, a proline-mediated biosensor was developed for PLD assay. Increased PLD activity led to enhanced release of proline into the porous solid-state ECL sensors, resulting in a more robust ECL signal. There was a linear relationship between ΔECL intensity and logarithmic concentration of PLD in the range of 10-10000 U/L, with a detection limit of 1.98 U/L. Practical tests demonstrated the reliability and convenience of the proposed bioassay, making it suitable for widespread application in PLD assays.

Electrochemiluminescence (ECL) immunosensors are widely used for cancer marker detection due to their high selectivity, but their reuse is limited by the need for electrode reconditioning after each assay, hindering large-scale application. In our work, a novel quasi-solid-state ECL immunosensor is designed. A gel-cast cellulose membrane is used as our sensor platform, providing a new location for biomolecular-specific identification.

Rapid and accurate detection of trace microbial pathogens is essential for human health, environmental monitoring, and food safety. Here, we report the development of a solid-state electrochemiluminescence (ECL) bacterial sensor based on a β-glycosidase (β-Gal)-triggered coreactant generation strategy. Leveraging a three-dimensional TiO nanotube array integrated with peroxidase-like MIL-53(Fe), glucose oxidase-like Au nanoparticles, and luminol, this sensor efficiently generates coreactants on-site, enabling sensitive glucose detection.

Gel-type electrochemiluminescence (ECL) active materials have attracted attention in sensing applications, where solid-state flexible and robust-response gels are required. Herein, we report a 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-sulfonatophenyl) porphyrin-decorated sodium alginate hydrogel (TPPS-SA hydrogel) as a new-generation ECL cathode luminophore. TPPS-SA hydrogel was synthesized by a facile hydrogen bond interaction.

Afterglow electrochemiluminescence (ECL), persistent luminescence observed after the cessation of electrical excitation, has attracted great attention but remains unexplored in sensing applications. Here, we present a solid-state afterglow ECL biosensor leveraging enzyme-responsive polymer nanoarchitectonics for lipase quantification. The sensor is constructed by covalently grafting an amphiphilic block copolymer (PCL-PEG) onto nitrogen-deficient carbon nitride nanosheets (CNNS) deposited on electrodes.

The early diagnosis of diseases largely relies on the monitoring and accurate detection of biomarkers within biological systems. The quantification of chloride ions (Cl) and glutathione (GSH) can effectively assess the progression of diseases such as cystic fibrosis and cancer, as well as the alterations in the body's internal environment. However, developing reliable sensing platforms with high sensitivity and selectivity poses significant challenges.
