The single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of the vangl1 gene is highly correlated with Neural Tube Defects (NTDs), a group of severe congenital malformations. It is hindered by the lack of a quantitative detection method. We first propose the use of a DNA biosensor to detect the missense single nucleotide polymorphism (rs4839469 c.

The introduced AuPt-PPy nanocomposite provided a large surface area for the immobilization of Sambucus nigra agglutinis (SNA) through a coupling agent for specifically recognizing analytes and exhibited high electrocatalytic activity toward the reduction of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) as an analytical signal. Subsequently, to block the non-specific sites of the modified electrode, GOx was employed instead of the usual sealers.

The signals could be directly detected in a single run through differential pulse voltammetry (DPV), and each biorecognition event produces a distinct voltammetric peak.

A conductive wire, which is similar to an electron-conducting tunnel, was designed with Au nanoparticles (AuNPs) joined to Au@Pt core-shell microspheres via a cysteamine (CA) crosslinker. To enhance the sensitivity of the immunosensor, Au nanoparticles were electrodeposited onto the gold electrode, and CA was self-assembled via strong Au-S covalent bonds, providing an appropriate surface and promoting electron transfer.
