The detection of heavy metal ions, particularly lead (Pb²⁺), in environmental samples is crucial for public health and safety. Current nucleic acid signal amplification methods for Pb²⁺ detection often rely on biological enzymes and are limited in applicability due to high costs, prolonged detection times, and nonspecific adsorption. In this study, we introduce an enzyme-free, DNAzyme-mediated isothermal catalytic hairpin assembly (DMICHA) assay, which combines a DNAzyme-based Pb²⁺ recognition module with a signal amplification process utilizing isothermal catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA).

Lead ion (Pb) is a common environmental contaminant, extremely toxic, persistent, and easily adsorbed, concentrated, and enriched by agricultural products. Ingestion of this ion can result in health problems for humans, including neurological disorders, heart disease, brain damage, and mental deficiency. In this research, a sensitive fluorescent biosensing method for detecting Pb was developed using DNAzyme as the target recognition element and SYBR Green (SG) fluorescent dye as the signal indicator.

There is an urgent demand for a simple yet extremely accurate biosensor to analyze tumorigenesis. Herein, we present a novel fluorescent and enzyme-free approach for detecting p53 gene cascading proximity ligation-mediated catalytic hairpin assembly and DNAzyme-assisted signal reaction. When the target p53 gene is present, the interaction between p53 and L1 and L2 chains initiates catalytic hairpin assembly and subsequently exposes DNAzyme in the P3 probe.

Pb has numerous sources in cosmetics, industrial pollution and other environments. Therefore, sensitive and accurate detection of Pb content is extremely important in food safety. In this work, bifunctional nanomaterials TiC@PtPd NPs with fluorescence quenching effect and peroxidase activity were prepared by in situ growth of platinum‑palladium nanoparticles (PtPd NPs) on the surface of 2D material TiC.

DNA-templated silver nanoclusters (DNA-AgNCs) are novel nanomaterials with unique fluorescence characteristics. DNAzyme is a functional oligonucleotide that can catalyze the disruption of nucleic acid substrates. In this research, the effect of DNAzyme digestion on the fluorescence property of DNA-AgNCs was explored for the first time.
