This communication describes the development of a thiamin sensor based on the bacterial thiamin binding protein. A triple mutant (C48S, C50S, S62C) of TbpA was labeled on C62 with N-[2-(L-maleimidyl)ethyl]-7-(diethylamino)coumarin-3-carboxamide (MDCC). Thiamin binding to this protein reduced the coumarin fluorescence giving a thiamin sensor with low nanomolar sensitivity.

Manganese dioxide nanosheets (MnO NSs) have garnered significant attention in analytical sensing, while the majority of the previous reports suffer from a complex preparation process involving reducing agents, template or high-temperature. In this work, a novel MnO NSs decorated TiCT MXene nanoribbons (TiCTNR@MnO) composite was firstly assemblied via a facile one-step strategy and applied as a bi-signal generator to enable colorimetric and fluorescence (FL) dual-response sensing. During the assembly process, TiCTNR innovatively acted as both reductant and carrier to prevent the aggregation of MnO NSs.

Monitoring acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity and its inhibitor is crucial yet challenging for the early diagnosis and treatment of neurological diseases. In this study, we present Au nanoparticle decorated CoAl layered double hydroxide monolayer (Au@CoAl-LDH-m) as a peroxidase-like (POD) nanozyme for the sensitive colorimetric detection of AChE and its inhibitor, thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP). Remarkably, the Au@CoAl-LDH-m nanozyme can catalyze the oxidation of chromogenic substrates through its POD-like activity, which is effectively inhibited by thiocholine (TCh, a catalytic product of AChE), thereby enabling detection of AChE and TPP through a visible colorimetric readout.

The study focuses on the green synthesis of Ag@AgO nanostructures using Padina algae extract and functionalizing them with L-tryptophan to enhance their properties as a colorimetric sensor for simultaneous detection of ultra-trace levels of thiamin and riboflavin. The nanostructures are characterized using techniques like XRD, FESEM, FTIR, TEM, AFM, and DLS to understand their morphology, structure, and interactions with target molecules. FESEM analysis revealed the hierarchical flower-like Ag@AgO nanostructures.

Detection of metabolites in real time and in whole cells requires effective molecular sensors. In this regard, fluorogenic light-up RNAs have recently become important tools for small-molecule detection in cells. However, the construction of light-up RNA sensors is an arduous task that requires structural knowledge of both the sensor and reporter RNA.

In view of the potential hazards of organophosphorus pesticides (OPs), this paper constructed a ratiometric fluorescent probe utilizing a functionalized metal-organic framework to detect OPs. Ru(bpy)Cl was encapsulated inside UiO-66 as a reference signal, and MnO nanosheets (MnO NSs) were grown on the surface to obtain Ru@UiO-66@MnO NSs. Acetylcholinesterase catalyzed the decomposition of acetylcholine into reductive thiocholine, which consumed MnO NSs, thus restoring the Ru@UiO-66 fluorescence.
