摘要The integration of advanced sensing materials as channel layers in devices is essential for constructing field-effect transistor(FET)biosensors.In this study,we synthesized high-crystallinity bimetallic M3(hexaaminotriphenylene)2(M=Co,Ni)thin films as FET channel materials via an in-situ growth method using a mixed solvent system of water and N,N-dimethylformamide(DMF).This bimetallic metalorganic framework(MOF)-based FET then served as a glucose biosensor,achieving a high sensitivity and an ultra-wide detection range from 10 nmol/L to 10 mmol/L.Further studies reveal that the success of in-situ growth of the high-crystalline bimetallic MOF film can be attributed to the coordination solvent exchange reaction between the metal atomic center,DMF,and water.Furthermore,the introduction of bimetallic centers enhances the number of active sites within the MOF,thereby achieving an ultra-low detection limit and an ultra-wide detection range.This work presents a versatile approach for constructing high performance FET biosensors.

摘要A highly sensitive,ultra-low detection limit 3-D DNA nanostructure biosensor based on functionalized reflective optical fiber probe(ROFP)is proposed and demonstrated.Our approach achieves a mass limit of detection of~10 aM based on the ROFP.A particular single-nucleotide mismatch sequence is also identified.The sensitivity of the proposed DNA biosensor is 1.51 nm/lgaM,about three-fold higher than using single-strand DNA probes(0.47 nm/lgaM)and with high specificity.The proposed ROFP has high compactness(with a length of~3 mm)which is convenient for sample detection with small volume and complex gradients in small spaces with high sensitivity.

摘要Cell membrane coating technology has recently emerged as a promising platform for drug activity assessment due to its unique biointerfacing capabilities.Nevertheless,its integration with conventional detection methods such as high performance liquid chromatography(HPLC)and fluorescence probe analysis remains limited by poor specificity and low accuracy,primarily resulting from non-specific adsorption of non-target membrane receptors and interference from background signals.In this study,we presented a collaborative strategy that integrates aptamers with cell membrane coating technology to establish a novel electrochemiluminescence(ECL)-DNA biosensor platform for specifically detecting drug-target receptor interactions.High specificity was achieved through competitive binding between aptamers and drug candidates for membrane receptors,while high accuracy was ensured by employing an ECL detection system incorporating signal cascade amplification and three-dimensional(3D)DNA walkers,enabling reliable performance even with complex biological samples.Using this approach,we demonstrated a linear dynamic range of 1 nmol/L to 2μmol/L for the detection of desloratadine activity,with a limit of detection(LOD)of 0.16 nmol/L.Furthermore,the platform was successfully applied to evaluate the binding activity of eight drugs to angiotensin-converting enzyme 2(ACE2),and their pharmacological activities were further characterized.Overall,this aptamer-cell membrane coating synergistic strategy offered excellent specificity and ultra-high sensitivity,making it a valuable tool for elucidating drug-receptor mechanisms of action and providing a robust reference for preclinical drug activity evaluation.

摘要An in-built N+pocket electrically doped tunnel field-effect transistor(ED-TFET)-based biosensor has been reported for the first time.The proposed device begins with a PN junction structure with a control gate(CG)and two polarity gates(PG1 and PG2).Utilizing the polarity bias concept,a narrow N+pocket is formed between the source and channel without the need for additional doping steps,achieved through biasing PG1 and PG2 at-1.2 V and 1.2 V,respectively.This method not only addresses issues related to doping control but also eliminates constraints associated with thermal budgets and simplifies the fabrication process compared to traditional TFETs.To facilitate biomolecule sensing within the device,a nanogap cavity is formed in the gate dielectric by selectively etching a section of the polarity gate dielectric layer toward the source side.The investigation into the presence of neutral and charged molecules within the cavities has been conducted by examining variations in the electrical properties of the proposed biosensor.Key characteristics assessed include drain current,energy band,and electric field distribution.The performance of the biosensor is measured using various metrics such as drain current(IDS),subthreshold swing(SS),threshold voltage(VTH),drain current ratio(ION/IOFF).The proposed in-built N+pocket ED-TFET-based biosensor reaches a peak sensitivity of 1.08×10~(13)for a neutral biomolecule in a completely filled nanogap with a dielectric constant of 12.Additionally,the effects of cavity geometry and different fill factors(FFs)on sensitivity are studied.

摘要Amino acids are important bio-based products with a multi-billion-dollar market.The development of efficient high-throughput screening technologies utilizing biosensors is essential for the rapid identification of high-performance amino acid producers.However,there remains a pressing need for biosensors that specifically target certain critical amino acids,such as l-threonine and l-proline.In this study,a novel transcriptional regulator-based biosensor for l-threonine and l-proline was successfully developed,inspired by our new finding that SerE can export l-proline in addition to the previously known l-threonine and l-serine.Through directed evolution of SerR(the corresponding transcriptional regulator of SerE),the mutant SerRF104I which can recognize both l-threonine and l-proline as effectors and effectively distinguish strains with varying production levels was identified.Subsequently,the SerRF104I-based biosensor was employed for high-throughput screening of the superior enzyme mutants of l-homoserine dehydrogenase and γ-glutamyl kinase,which are critical enzymes in the biosynthesis of l-threonine and l-proline,respectively.A total of 25 and 13 novel mutants that increased the titers of l-threonine and l-proline by over 10%were successfully identified.Notably,six of the newly identified mutants exhibited similarities to the most effective mutants reported to date,indicating the promising application potential of the SerRF104I-based biosensor.This study illustrates an effective strategy for the development of transcriptional regulator-based biosensors for amino acids and other chemical compounds.

摘要Genetically encoded biosensors are powerful tools for monitoring plant proteins,which could offer high spatial and temporal resolution and help reveal the molecular mechanisms underlying plant growth and stress responses.However,a comprehensive review focused on the spatiotemporal monitoring of plant proteins using these biosensors is still lacking.This review highlights key advancements in the field,evaluates the strengths and limitations of current biosensors,and discusses their applications for tracking plant protein dynamics.We aim to provide a thorough understanding of genetically encoded biosensors for plant proteins,promote the development of these technologies,and foster deeper insights into molecular mechanisms in plant cells.Future research should prioritize overcoming challenges such as interference from plant autofluorescence and enhancing the sensitivity of biosensors,particularly in complex cellular compartments like chloroplasts and cell walls,to further improve spatial and temporal resolution.
摘要Hemoglobin A1c(HbA1c),a key biomarker for long-term glucose regulation,is essential for diagnosing and managing diabetes mellitus.However,conventional HbA1c detection methods often suffer from limited sensitivity,narrow detection ranges,slow response times,and poor long-term stability.In this study,we developed a high-performance amperometric biosensor for the selective detection of Fructosyl Valine(FV),a model compound for HbA1c,by immobilizing Fructosyl Amino Acid Oxidase(FAAO)onto a glassy carbon electrode modified with electrospun polyaniline/polyindole-Mn2O3 nanofibers.Operating at an applied potential of 0.27 V versus Ag/AgCl,the biosensor achieved a rapid detection time of 2 s for FV concentrations up to 50µM,with a signal-to-noise ratio of 3.Under optimized conditions(pH 7.0 and 35℃),the biosensor exhibited a wide linear detection range from 0.1 to 3 mM and a high sensitivity of 38.42µA/mM.Importantly,the sensor retained approximately 70% of its initial activity after 193 days of storage at 4℃,demonstrating excellent long-term stability.These results suggest that the FAAO/polyaniline/polyindole-Mn2O3 nanocomposite-based biosensor offers a promising platform for sensitive,rapid,and durable detection of HbA1c,providing significant potential for improving diabetes monitoring and management.

摘要Detecting multiple analytes simultaneously,crucial in disease diagnosis and treatment prognosis,remains challenging.While planar sensing platforms demonstrate this capability,optical fiber sensors still lag behind.An operando dual lossy mode resonance(LMR)biosensor fabricated on a D-shaped single-mode fiber(SMF)is proposed for quantification of clinical indicators of inflammatory process,like in COVID-19 infection.Dual LMRs,created via two-step deposition process,yield a nanostructure with distinct SnO2 thicknesses on the flat surface of the fiber.Theoretical and experimental analyses confirm its feasibility,showing a sensitivity around 4500 nm/RIU for both LMRs.A novel insight in spatially-separated biofunctionalization of the sensitive fiber regions is validated through fluorescence assays,showcasing selectivity for different immunoglobulins.Real-time and label-free detection of two inflammatory markers,C-reactive protein and Ddimer,empowers the platform capability with a minimum detectable concentration below 1μg/mL for both biomolecules,which is of clinical interest.This proof-of-concept work provides an important leap in fiber-based biosensing for effective and reliable multi-analyte detection,presenting a novel,compact and multi-functional analytical tool.

摘要There is limited amount of research on surface plasmon resonance(SPR)sensors with self-referencing capabilities which are based on dielectric gratings.In the short-wavelength range,a metal grating sensor is capable of simultaneously measuring liquid refractive index under proposed temperature.A fabricated gold grating is placed on one side of a thin gold film for refractive index measurement,while the other with polydimethylsiloxane(PDMS)is deposited on the other side for temperature measurement.We use finite element analysis to research its sensing characteristics.Due to the high refractive index sensitivity of SPR sensors and thermo-optic coefficient of PDMS,we discovered the maximum spectral sensitivity of the sensor is 564 nm/RIU and-50 pm/℃when the liquid refractive index ranges from 1.30 to 1.40 with temperature ranging from 0℃ to 100℃.Numerical results indicate that there may not be mutual interference between two channels for measuring refractive index and temperature,which reduces the complexity of sensor measurements.
