Tannic acid-derivatized graphitic carbon nitride quantum dots as an “on-off-on” fluorescent nanoprobe for ascorbic acid via copper(II) mediation
摘要： A microwave-assisted hydrothermal route was employed to prepare fluorescent tannic acid (TA)-derivatized graphitic carbon nitride quantum dots. The resulting dots display blue fluorescence (best measured at excitation/emission wavelengths of 350/452 nm) with a quantum yield as high as ~44%. The incorporated TA imparts a fluorescence switching behavior in that very low concentrations of Cu(II) can quench the fluorescence, while (AA) can restore it. It is presumed that AA causes Cu(II) to be transformed to Cu(I). Based on these findings, a fluorometric method was designed for AA detection. The probe allows AA to be detected with a 50 pM limit of detection and a linear analytical range that extends from 0.1 to 200 nM of AA. Real and spiked samples were successfully assayed by the probe to demonstrate its analytical applicability.

A fluorometric aptasensor for bisphenol a based on the inner filter effect of gold nanoparticles on the fluorescence of nitrogen-doped carbon dots
摘要： An aptamer-based fluorometric assay is described for the determination of bisphenol A (BPA). The aptamer against BPA is first attached to the surface of the red AuNPs, and this prevents the AuNPs from salt-induced formation of a blue-colored aggregate. Hence, the blue fluorescence of added nitrogen-doped carbon dots (NCDots) is quenched via an inner filter effect (IFE) caused by the red AuNPs. After addition of BPA, the BPA/aptamer complex is formed, and the AuNPs are no longer stabilized agains aggregation. This weakens the IFE and results in the recovery of the fluorescence of the NCDots which is measured best at excitation/emission wavelengths of 300/420 nm. The recovered fluorescence increases linearly in the 10 to 250 nM and 250 to 900 nM BPA concentration ranges, and the detection limit is 3.3 nM. The method was successfully applied to the determination of BPA in spiked environmental tap water samples.

DNA branched junctions induced the enhanced fluorescence recovery of FAM-labeled probes on rGO for detecting Pb2+
摘要： The reduced graphene oxide (rGO) could strongly adsorb and quench the fluorescence of dye-labeled single-stranded DNA (ssDNA); thus, it is widely applied in fluorescent sensors. However, these sensors may suffer from a limited sensitivity due to the low fluorescence recovery when adding the complementary DNA (cDNA) sequence. In this work, the powerful DNA branched junctions were constructed to improve the fluorescence recovery of FAM-labeled probe on rGO. In the presence of target Pb2+, the ribonucleotide (rA) in the substrate was cleaved specifically and the catalytic hairpin assembly of three metastable hairpins was further initiated, accompanied by the formation of DNA branched junctions. Then, the liberated Pb2+ could be recyclable. Impressively, the DNA branched junctions not only hybridize with the FAM-labeled probes with a high efficiency, but also are significantly undesirable for the rGO. Thus, a high fluorescence recovery of FAM-labeled probe on rGO was expected. The integration of the high fluorescence recovery and dual-cycle signal amplification endows the sensing strategy with a good performance for Pb2+ detection, including low detection limit (0.17 nM), good selectivity, and satisfactory practical applicability. The proposed DNA branched junctions offer a novel avenue to improve the fluorescence recovery of the dye-labeled probes on rGO for biological analysis.

A luminous off-on probe for the determination of 2,6-pyridinedicarboxylic acid as an anthrax biomarker based on water-soluble cadmium sulfide quantum dots
摘要： A fluorescence off-on sensing platform was developed based on thioglycolic acid-stabilized cadmium sulfide quantum dots (CdS QDs) as fluorescence probe for the sensitive and selective detection of 2,6-pyridinedicarboxylic acid (DPA) in spores. The fluorescence emission intensity of the quantum dots at 650 nm when excited at 460 nm was first quenched by mixing with europium ions (Eu3+) and then recovered after the addition of DPA. The interaction of DPA with Eu3+ relieved the quenching effect of Eu3+ toward CdS QDs. As the DPA concentration increases, the color of the probe changes from colorless to red. The method exhibits a wide linear range from 1 to 120 μM for DPA determination, with a detection limit of 0.2 μM. The CdS QDs based nanoprobe was successfully applied for sensitive determination of DPA released from bacteria spores. In this case, the detection limit is 3.5 × 104 CFU·mL?1.

One-step scalable fluorescent microgel bioassay for the ultrasensitive detection of endogenous viral miR-US4-5p
摘要： Human cytomegalovirus (hCMV) infection is the leading cause of birth defects in newborns and death in immunosuppressed people. Traditional techniques require time-consuming and costly analyses, and sometimes result in false positive results; thus, a rapid and accurate detection for hCMV infection is necessary. Recently, hcmv-miR-US4-5p was selected as the biomarker for cytomegalovirus diagnosis and follow-up. Herein, we propose a bioassay based on microgels endowed with optical fluorescent oligonucleotide probes for the detection of circulating endogenous hcmv-microRNAs. In particular, a double strand probe, based on the fluorescence recovery after target capture, was conjugated on microgels and the probe density was opportunely optimised. Then, the microgels were directly mixed with the sample. The fluorescence read-out was measured as a function of target concentration at a fixed number of microgels per tube. As a bead-based assay, the performances of optical detection in terms of dynamic working range and limit of detection could be finely tuned by tuning the number of microgels per tube. The limit of detection of the assay could be tuned in the range from 39.1 fM to 156 aM by changing the microgel concentration from 50 μg mL?1 to 0.5 μg mL?1, respectively. The assay results specific for the selected target were stable over a one-year time span and they were not affected by the presence of human serum. Therefore, this bioassay based on microgels might represent a flexible platform that should be able to predict, identify and follow-up several diseases by monitoring freely circulating oligonucleotides in body fluids.
