Sensitivity enhancement of surface plasmon resonance sensor with 2D material covered noble and magnetic material (Ni)
摘要： In this paper, surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor on 2D materials such as MoS2 and graphene on Au and magnetic material Ni in Kretschmann configuration is analyzed using transfer matrix method. Here we noted that by sandwiching the MoS2 layer between the Au and Ni film and adding graphene over Ni film improved the sensitivity as high as 229°/RIU. We also noted that the sensitivity of the proposed sensor changes with the addition of no. of layers of graphene and MoS2. We expect that such a high sensitivity SPR sensor could find optional application in chemical examination, medical diagnostic and biological detections.

Ultra-sensitive surface plasmon resonance biosensor based on MoS2–graphene hybrid nanostructure with silver metal layer
摘要： The optical biosensors based on the plasmonic technology are an important research item in the field of biophotonics. The graphene–molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) based hybrid structures are very effective in designing and fabricating of the sensitive optical biosensors. In this paper, we propose a nanostructure Ag/MoS2/graphene as an optical biosensor with high performance and sensitivity. The proposed configuration for this surface plasmon resonance (SPR) optical biosensor is Kretschmann. Herein, the enhancement of sensitivity for the proposed SPR optical biosensor is investigated in different states. By determining of the numbers of MoS2 layer and the thickness of the metal layer, we increased the sensitivity of the proposed biosensor. The maximum sensitivity ~ 190°/RIU is achieved. For this ultra-sensitive SPR biosensor with maximum sensitivity, the numbers of MoS2 and graphene layer is 2 and the resonance wavelength is determined 680 nm.

Construction of a Biosensor Based on a Combination of Cytochrome c, Graphene, and Gold Nanoparticles
摘要： A biosensor based on a combination of cytochrome c (Cyt c), electrochemical reduced graphene oxides (ERGO), and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) was fabricated. The proposed biosensor electrode was denoted as GCE/ERGO-Na?on/AuNPs/Cyt c/Na?on, where ERGO-Na?on was deposited by dropping graphene oxides-Na?on mixed droplet ?rst and following electrochemical reduction, AuNPs were directly deposited on the surface of the ERGO-Na?on modi?ed electrode by electrochemical reduction, and other components were deposited by the dropping-dry method. The effect of the deposition amount of AuNPs on direct electrochemistry of Cyt c in the proposed electrode was investigated. The hydrogen peroxide was taken to evaluate the performance of the proposed biosensor. The results showed that the biosensor has great analytical performance, including a high sensitivity, a wide linear range, a low detection limit, and good stability, reproducibility, and reliability.

Structure-based design and application of an engineered glutathione transferase for the development of an optical biosensor for pesticides determination
摘要： In the present work, a structure-based design approach was used for the generation of a novel variant of synthetic glutathione transferase (PvGmGSTU) with higher sensitivity towards pesticides. Molecular modelling studies revealed Phe117 as a key residue that contributes to the formation of the hydrophobic binding site (H-site) and modulates the affinity of the enzyme towards xenobiotic compounds. Site-saturation mutagenesis of position Phe117 created a library of PvGmGSTU variants with altered kinetic and binding properties. Screening of the library against twenty-five different pesticides, showed that the mutant enzyme Phe117Ile displays 3-fold higher catalytic efficiency and exhibits increased affinity towards α-endosulfan, compared to the wild-type enzyme. Based on these catalytic features the mutant enzyme Phe117Ile was explored for the development of an optical biosensor for α-endosulfan. The enzyme was entrapped in alkosixylane sol-gel system in the presence of two pH indicators (bromocresol purple and phenol red). The sensing signal was based on the inhibition of the sol-gel entrapped GST, with subsequent decrease of released [H+] by the catalytic reaction, measured by sol–gel entrapped indicators. The assay response at 562 nm was linear in the range pH = 4–7. Linear calibration curves were obtained for α-endosulfan in the range of 0–30 μM. The reproducibility of the assay response, expressed by relative standard deviation, was in the order of 4.1% (N = 28). The method was successfully applied to the determination of α-endosulfan in real water samples without sample preparation steps.

Regenerable Bead-Based Microfluidic Device with integrated THIN-Film Photodiodes for Real Time Monitoring of DNA Detection
摘要： Nanoporous microbead-based microfluidic systems for biosensing applications allow enhanced sensitivities, while being low cost and amenable for miniaturization. The regeneration of the microfluidic biosensing system results in a further decrease in costs while the integration of on-chip signal transduction enhances portability. Here, we present a regenerable bead-based microfluidic device, with integrated thin-film photodiodes, for real-time monitoring of molecular recognition between a target DNA and complementary DNA (cDNA). High-sensitivity assay cycles could be performed without significant loss of probe DNA density and activity, demonstrating the potential for reusability, portability and reproducibility of the system.

Amplification-free and direct fluorometric determination of telomerase activity in cell lysates using chimeric DNA-templated silver nanoclusters
摘要： A fluorogenic probe has been developed for determination of telomerase activity using chimeric DNA-templated silver nanoclusters (AgNCs). The formation of AgNCs was investigated before (route A) and after (route B) telomerase elongation reaction. Both routes caused selective quenching of the yellow emission of the AgNCs (best measured at excitation/emission wavelength of 470/557 nm) in telomerase-positive samples. The quenching mechanism was studied using synthetically elongated DNA to mimic the telomerase-catalyzed elongation. The findings show that quenching is due to the formation of parallel G-quadruplexes with a –TTA– loop in the telomerase elongated products. The assay was validated using different cancer cell extracts, with intra- and interassay coefficients of variations of <9.8%. The limits of detection for MCF7, RPMI 2650 and HT29 cell lines are 15, 22 and 39 cells/μL. This represents a distinct improvement over the existing telomeric repeat amplification protocol (TRAP) assay in terms of time, sensitivity and cost.

Numerical study of nanoscale biosensor based on surface plasmon polariton propagation in Mach-Zehnder interferometer structure
摘要： In this paper, we numerically investigate a nanoscale plasmonic biosensor based on Mach-Zehnder interferometry. The operation of Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) biosensor is examined based on two methods. In the first method, in which the transmission of surface plasmon polariton (SPP) modes is investigated under different refractive indices of sample medium as well as different dimensions, the best transmission rate achieved about 56.6% which is resulted by refractive index variation about 0.045 for the length 12 μm and width 80 nm of the gold layer. Also, the sensitivity, figure of merit (FOM) and quality factor (Q-factor) of MZI are examined for different geometries by utilizing the alternative method. It is realized that for the constant length, increasing the thickness of gold layer has significantly led to increased Q-factor and FOM. On the other hand, considering fixed thickness of the Au layer and three different lengths, the major outcome is that as the length of biosensor increases, the sensitivity, Q-factor as well as FOM follow an upward trend. Finally, inserting two distinct additional gold layers on top of the main gold layer, resulted in an extreme increase for the sensitivity and FOM of the plasmonic MZI biosensors with respect to the MZI biosensor without additional layer.

Engineering organic electrochemical transistor (OECT) to be sensitive cell-based biosensor through tuning of channel area
摘要： The barrier integrity of epithelial tissue is crucial to many physiological functions in multicellular organisms. Hence, several scientific techniques, such as epithelial voltohmmeter (EVOM) and electric cell-substrate impedance sensing (ECIS), were developed to assess barrier function for in vitro assays. Organic electrochemical transistor (OECT), in particular, outperforms many biosensors because of its multiple advantages such as high transconductance, mixed ionic-electronic conductivity and high biocompatibility. Despite its extensive application in cell impedance sensing, little was reported on how its geometrical dimensions would affect the device performance and quality of cell-based measurement. In this work, OECTs in different dimensions were fabricated and characterized. Specifically investigated were their time and frequency responses towards the presence of epithelial cells (i.e. tightly packed colorectal adenocarcinoma cell line caco-2 and a novel leaky nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell line NPC43). Results show that the sensitivity of cell-based measurement is closely related to the impedance of the whole cell-OECT system. The performance of cell-based sensor would be affected by the tightness of target cell and can be tuned by controlling the active area of OECT.

摘要： Excellent economic prospects and fascinating potential for basic research have led to many sensor designs and detection principles for biosensing of glucose. A novel electrochemical biosensor incorporating Cadmium Sulphide/Porous Silicon (CdS/PS) electrode to enhance electrochemical reaction has been investigated. CdS/PS electrode was fabricated and its electrochemical properties were studied by Cyclic voltammetry (CV), Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and Chronoamperometry. The result indicated that the CdS/PS electrode material has good electrochemical properties. The optimized sensor exhibits unique sensing performance towards glucose detection. The versatility of the sensor is shown by the detection limit down to 610 μM with a quick response time of 10 s and a good linear range from 10 to 100 mM. The results showed that the fabricated electrode was sensitive and stable in detecting glucose, indicating that CdS/PS electrode was a good candidate material for the design of glucose biosensor.

Designing bacterial chemotactic receptors guided by photonic femtoliter well arrays for quantifiable, label-free measurement of bacterial chemotaxis
摘要： Whole cell bioreporters, such as bacterial cells, can be used for environmental and clinical sensing of specific analytes. However, the current methods implemented to observe such bioreporters in the form of chemotactic responses heavily rely on microscope analysis, fluorescent labels, and hard-to-scale microfluidic devices. Herein, we demonstrate that chemotaxis can be detected within minutes using intrinsic optical measurements of silicon femtoliter well arrays (FMAs). This is done via phase-shift reflectometric interference spectroscopic measurements (PRISM) of the wells, which act as silicon diffraction gratings, enabling label-free, real-time quantification of the number of trapped bacteria cells in the optical readout. By generating unsteady chemical gradients over the wells, we first demonstrate that chemotaxis towards attractants and away from repellents can be easily differentiated based on the signal response of PRISM. The lowest concentration of chemorepellent to elicit an observed bacterial response was 50 mM, while the lowest concentration of chemoattractant to elicit a response was 10 mM. Second, we employed PRISM, in combination with a computational approach, to rapidly scan for and identify a novel synthetic histamine chemoreceptor strain. Consequently, we show that by using a combined computational design approach, together with a quantitative, real-time, and label-free detection method, it is possible to manufacture and characterize novel synthetic chemoreceptors in Escherichia coli (E. coli).
