Sensitive and reliable hybrid nanosensor (Co-CDs@R-CDs) for ratiometric fluorescent and colorimetric detecting NO.

A ratiometric fluorescent and colorimetric detecting assay for NO was realized by a hybrid nanosensor (Co-CDs@R-CDs) utilizing firstly through the redox reaction of nitrite (NO) with Co, of which the hybrid nanosensor Co-CDs@R-CDs was fabricated by Co-doped carbon dots (Co-CDs) and a reference of red-emitting carbon dots (R-CDs). The ratiometric fluorescent linear detection range of NO was 2.5-45 μM and the limit of detection (LOD) was 0.

AtHD2D is involved in regulating lateral root development and participates in abiotic stress response in Arabidopsis.

Roots are essential to terrestrial plants, as their growth and morphology are crucial for plant development. The growth of the roots is affected and regulated by several internal and external environmental signals and metabolic pathways. Among them, chromatin modification plays an important regulatory role.

Fabrication of a porous Urea@MIL-100(Fe)/CI-MCC/SA hydrogel for All-In-One adsorption, removal and fluorescence monitoring of nitrite.

In this paper, a novel All-In-One Urea@MIL-100(Fe)/CI-MCC/SA hydrogel platform was generated by microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) functionalized with pH-response probe (CI), MIL-100 (Fe) and sodium alginate (SA), which was as a carrier of urea to adsorb, remove and monitor NO. Under acidic condition, the fluorescent hydrogel platform could produce N, CO and HO through the diazotization and redox reaction between urea and NO with a removal efficiency up to 99.8%, and could also character a good adsorption property for NO due to the positive charges of protonation (the maximum adsorption capacity was 21.

Organophosphate Level Evaluation for the Poisoning Treatment by Enzyme Activation Regeneration Strategy with Oxime-Functionalized ZIF-8 Nanoparticles.

In this work, two nanometal-organic frameworks (NMOFs) of ZIF-8-1 and ZIF-8-2 were designed and synthesized with a "missing linker" defects strategy by using Oxime-1 and Oxime-2 as coligands, respectively. ZIF-8-2 exhibited an excellent performance in comparison to that of ZIF-8-1 in activating and regenerating the activity of BChE suppressed by demeton-S-methyl (DSM) and could rapidly detoxify DSM in poisoned serum samples within 24 min. Additionally, the synthesized fluorescence probe of IND-BChE with high quantum yields, large Stokes shifts, and superior water solubility could be used for the detection of both butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) and DSM in a lower LOD of 0.

Simple method for visual detection of nitrite using fluorescence and colorimetry by poly (tannic acid) nanoparticles.

The nitration reaction of nitrite and phenolic substances was first used to identify and detect NO by taking fluorescent poly (tannic acid) nanoparticles (FPTA NPs) as sensing platform. With the low cost, good biodegradable and convenient water-soluble FPTA NPs, a fluorescent and colorimetric dual modes detecting assay was realized. In fluorescent mode, the linear detection range of NO was 0-36 μM, the LOD was as low as 3.

Ultrasensitivity Detecting AChE through "Covalent Assembly" and Signal Amplification Strategic Approaches and Applied to Screen Its Inhibitor.

An ultrasensitivity detecting assay for acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity was developed based on "covalent assembly" and signal amplification strategic approaches. After hydrolyzing thioacetylcholine by AChE and participation of thiol in a self-inducing cascade accelerated by the Meldrum acid derivatives of 2-[bis(methylthio) methylene] malonitrile (CA-2), mercaptans triggered an intramolecular cyclization assembly by the probe of 2-(2,2-dicyanovinyl)-5-(diethylamino) phenyl 2,4-dinitrobenzenesulfonate (Sd-I) to produce strong fluorescence. The limit of detection for AChE activity was as low as 0.
