Article Abstract

Luminescent metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are used for the detection of organophosphorus pesticides (OPs) due to their large surface area and pore volume as well as their special optical properties. However, most self-luminescent MOFs are not only complex to synthesize and unstable in water but also feature a "turn-off" sensing system, which has highly restricted their practical applications in OP detection. Herein, a "turn-on" fluorescence sensor based on the guest-induced luminescence MOF Ru(bpy)@UiO-66 was constructed, which realized the sensitive detection of OPs through a dual-enzyme system for the first time. Compared with self-luminescent MOFs, Ru(bpy)@UiO-66 was not only more easily synthesized but also had higher chemical and photostability in water. In this strategy, by means of the hydrolysis of AChE and ChOx, HO will be produced, which can oxidize Fe to Fe, thereby quenching the fluorescence of Ru(bpy)@UiO-66. In the presence of OPs, the activity of AChE can be inhibited, resulting in the inability to generate HO and Fe, which will turn on the fluorescence signal of Ru(bpy)@UiO-66. As a result, the Ru(bpy)@UiO-66 sensing system not only had high sensitivity for OPs detection but also possessed a satisfactory detection recovery rate for parathion-methyl in real samples, which provides a new approach for OP detection in food safety as well as environmental monitoring.

Development of smartphone-based AIE fluorescence-quenching immunochromatographic sensors for the detection of illicit drugs in various complex sample matrices.

Illicit drug abuse poses a significant global threat to public health and social security, highlighting the urgent need for rapid, sensitive, and versatile detection technologies. To address the limitations of traditional chromatographic techniques-such as high costs and slow response times-and the drawbacks of conventional immunochromatographic sensors (ICS), including low sensitivity and non-intuitive signal outputs, a fluorescence-quenching ICS (FQICS) was developed. This sensor leverages fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) between aggregation-induced emission fluorescent microspheres (AIEFMs) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs).

Visualizing intracellular glycine with two-dye and single-dye ratiometric RNA-based sensors.

Glycine is an important metabolite and cell signal in diverse organisms, yet tools to visualize intracellular glycine dynamics have not been developed. In this study, diverse and bright RNA-based glycine biosensors were developed by fusing the architecturally complex glycine riboswitch with Broccoli class fluorogenic aptamers. The brightest sensor with the highest activation, glyS, and its two-dye ratiometric counterpart, Pepper-glyS, allowed for visualization of a drug-induced accumulation of endogenous glycine in live Escherichia colicells.

Ras small GTPases are essential for a wide range of cellular processes. These proteins cycle between the GDP-loaded and GTP-loaded states, and the actions of GTPase activating proteins (GAPs) are necessary to stimulate Ras-mediated GTP hydrolysis. Here, we provide a protocol to achieve Michaelis-Menten kinetic profiling of GAP-mediated stimulation of a small GTPase by real-time monitoring of inorganic phosphate release in vitro.

Long-wavelength emission carbon dots as ratiometric fluorescent and colorimetric dual-mode sensors for environmental sensing and bioimaging of hypochlorite.

For the first time, long-wavelength red emission carbon dots (R-CDs) were prepared as ratiometric fluorescent and colorimetric dual-mode sensors for detecting ClO using a simple one-step hydrothermal method. R-CDs exhibited intrinsic red fluorescence at 587 nm. Upon interaction with ClO, a new and enhanced green fluorescence at 535 nm was observed, which was attributed to resulting from the oxidation of surface hydroxyl (-OH) groups to carbonyl (CO) groups.
