A fluorescence quenching based gene assay for Escherichia coli O157:H7 using graphene quantum dots and gold nanoparticles
摘要： A fluorometric assay is described for highly sensitive quantification of Escherichia coli O157:H7. Reporter oligos were immobilized on graphene quantum dots (GQDs), and quencher oligos were immobilized on gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). Target DNA was co-hybridized with reporter oligos on the GQDs and quencher oligos on AuNPs. This triggers quenching of fluorescence (with excitation/emission peaks at 400 nm/530 nm). On introducing target into the system, fluorescence is quenched by up to 95% by 100 nM concentrations of target oligos having 20 bp. The response to the fliC gene of E. coli O157:H7 increases with the logarithm of the concentration in the range from 0.1 nM to 150 nM. The limit of detection is 1.1 ± 0.6 nM for n = 3. The selectivity and specificity of the assay was confirmed by evaluating the various oligos sequences and PCR product (fliC gene) amplified from genomic DNA of the food samples spiked with E. coli O157:H7.

A novel colorimetric and ratiometric fluorescent probe for selective detection of bisulfite in real samples and living cells
摘要： An abnormal level of bisulfite can induce toxicological effects associated with lung cancer, cardiovascular and neurological disorders. Therefore, it is of significance to develop an effective fluorescent probe to detect bisulfite in living cells. Herein, a novel fluorescent probe QPCT, based on a 1,4-addition mechanism, was constructed for the colorimetric and ratiometric detection of bisulfite. QPCT displayed high selectivity and anti-interference ability to bisulfite over other anions and biothiols. The probe renders a sensitive ratiometric response to bisulfite with a remarkable fluorescence blue shift from 590 to 537 nm and the fluorescence ratio was linear with bisulfite concentration over the range of 0-120 μM. More importantly, QPCT has been successfully applied to detect bisulfite in sugars and living A549 cells, which indicated that QPCT had a great capability for monitoring bisulfite in complex systems.
