Article Abstract

Biosensing technologies are facing increasingly urgent demands for highly sensitive and selective sensors. MXene, as a novel two-dimensional (2D) material, has emerged as an ideal candidate for sensors due to its ultrahigh conductivity and tunable surface functional groups. However, unmodified MXene lacks catalytic activity and specificity, limiting its applications. Surface-engineered X@MXene composites (X = metal oxides, aptamers, etc.) can significantly enhance catalytic activity and selectivity. This review systematically summarizes MXene synthesis strategies (HF etching, HF-free etching, vapor deposition, surface terminal group modulation), elucidates the regulatory mechanism of heterocomponents (X) on MXene catalytic pathways, analyzes its design principles in single-mode devices with different signal types (optical, electrical, colorimetric), and reveals the synergistic advantages of dual-mode sensors in sensitivity and anti-interference performance. This review provides theoretical guidance for designing high-performance MXene-based sensors, advancing their applications in precision medicine and intelligent monitoring.

Serine hydroxymethyltransferase (SHMT) is a critical enzyme in the one-carbon (1C) metabolism pathway catalyzing the reversible conversion of L-Ser into Gly and concurrent transfer of 1C unit to tetrahydrofolate (THF) to give 5,10-methylene-THF (5,10-MTHF), which is used in the downstream syntheses of biomolecules critical for cell proliferation. The cellular 1C metabolism is hijacked by many cancer types to support cancer cell proliferation, making SHMT a promising target for the design and development of novel small-molecule antimetabolite chemotherapies. To advance structure-assisted drug design, knowledge of SHMT catalysis is crucial, but can only be fully realized when the atomic details of each reaction step governed by the acid-base catalysis are elucidated by visualizing active site hydrogen atoms.

Background: Water contamination is a global challenge, primarily due to heavy metal ions like lead (Pb), iron (Fe), cadmium (Cd), andmercury (Hg) as well as dyes. These pollutants enter the ecosystem from industrial waste and runoff, accumulate in the environment and pose a high risk to humans, animals and plants. Various sensors, such as colorimetric sensors, and electrochemical sensors have been developed to detect these ions and dyes.

Background: Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) stands among the most toxic naturally occurring substances, with its acute toxicity characterized by the induction of acute hepatic necrosis, hemorrhage, and even fatal outcomes, thereby posing a profound threat to human health. Contamination of AFB1 in food commodities can arise at multiple stages throughout the production cycle, including cultivation, storage, and processing. This contamination cascade permeates the entire food supply chain, encompassing primary agricultural products as well as a diverse range of processed food items.

The 3C-like protease (3CLpro) of SARS-CoV-2 is a crucial target for antiviral drugs due to its essential role in viral polyprotein processing. In this study, we designed and produced a modular fluorescent recombinant substrate (6×His-ECFP-AVLQSGFRK-EYFP), which was then immobilized on Ni-NTA magnetic beads (Ni-NTA-6×His-ECFP-AVLQSGFRK-EYFP) for the assay of 3CLpro activity. Upon cleavage at the specific AVLQ↓SG motif, the EYFP fragment was released into the supernatant and quantified via fluorescence measurement (Ex/Em = 480/528 nm).
