Tyrosinase inhibitors have the ability to resist melanin formation and can be used for clinical and cosmetic, so it is becoming extremely crucial to search a rapid and effective method for detecting t the activity of tyrosinase. In this study, a sensing probe based on Nitrogen-doped graphene quantum dots (N-GQDs) were prepared with carbamide and citric acid. Tyrosinase can oxidize dopamine to dopamine quinone, which can quench the fluorescence of N-GQDs based on the principle of fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) process, and then the detection of tyrosinase activity can be achieved. The result demonstrated that the fluorescence intensity of N-GQDs was a linear correlation with the activity of tyrosinase. Wide detection linear ranges between 0.05 and 5 U/mL and high selectivity. The detection range of tyrosinase was 0.05 to 5 U/mL and LOD of 0.005 U/mL. According to the above, the fluorescence method established in this work could be successfully used for the trace analysis of tyrosinase and it was verified that KA is an inhibitor of tyrosinase.

Nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond demonstrate advantages in biosensing due to their exceptional photostability and long spin coherence time. However, clinical applications of NV centers are significantly limited because their spin states lack responsiveness to nonmagnetic biomolecules. This work presents a nanocatalytic-amplified quantum sensing platform targeting tyrosinase (TYR), a key biomarker for melanoma.

The sensitive and specific diagnosis of pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma (PPGL) remains challenging due to the low abundance of their detectable biomarker of catecholamines (CAs) in serum. Herein, we established an enzyme-assisted substrate recycling amplification model based on a hierarchically mesoporous UiO-66-NH (HMAUiO) to address these difficulties. Such porous platform was constructed by the Hofmeister ion-assisted nanoemulsion method with mesoporous size beyond 20 nm, in which Pt (II) meso-tetra(4-carboxyphenyl)porphyrin (TCPP-Pt) was incorporated within the microporous framework to form an HMAUiO-Pt sensing probe.

Quenchbodies (Q-bodies) are fluorescent antibodies that respond to antigen binding via a fluorescence quenching and de-quenching mechanism. To enhance the versatility of the generation method and expand the color range, we developed a novel Q-body generation approach using tyrosinase-mediated site-specific conjugation to a tyrosine-rich hemagglutinin (HA)-tag. A single-chain variable fragment (scFv) against programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PDL1) was engineered with an N-terminal HA-tag and expressed in Escherichia coli with high yield and purity.

The escalating crisis of hospital-acquired multidrug-resistant (MDR) infections, particularly carbapenemase 2-expressing (KPC-2 KP) and MDR- (AB), demands rapid diagnostic solutions. We developed a dual nanozyme-powered colorimetric aptasensor leveraging a cascade amplification mechanism, a metal-organic framework (MOF)-on-MOF nanostructure with peroxidase-like activity. Cu-MOF@PMOF(Fe) integrates catechol oxidase-like activity, with the Cu-MOF core oxidizing catechol to generate HO, and the PMOF(Fe) shell utilizes HO to oxidize the TMB substrate, producing dual-wavelength signals at 370 and 652 nm for ultrasensitive detection.
