Gold nanocrystals have attracted considerable attention due to their excellent physical and chemical properties and their extensive applications in plasmonics, spectroscopy, biological detection, and nanoelectronics. Gold nanoparticles are able to be readily modified and arranged with DNA materials and protein molecules, as well as viruses. Particularly DNA materials with the advantages endowed by programmability, stability, specificity, and the capability to adapt to functionalization, have become the most promising candidates that are widely utilized for building plenty of discrete gold nanoarchitectures. This review highlights recent advances on the DNA-based assembly of gold nanostructures and especially emphasizes their resulted superior optical properties and principles, including plasmonic extinction, plasmonic chirality, surface enhanced fluorescence (SEF), and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS).

Aggregation-induced emission (AIE) or aggregation-induced emission enhancement (AIEE) has endowed gold species with responsive fluorescent properties, favoring their potential applications in sensing, imaging, and therapy. However, it remains an interesting challenge to fabricate fluorophores with both AIE and AIEE effects. Herein, we presented highly luminescent Au(I) thiolate nanocomplex-based biosensors with Zn induced-AIE and zeolite imidazolate framework (ZIF-8) induced-AIEE effects.

Background: Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is a secondary metabolite produced by Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus. This toxin is highly carcinogenic and toxic, posing a serious threat to human and animal health. AFB1 primarily enters the human body through contaminated food, particularly peanuts, corn, nuts, and wheat.

The adverse effects of Al ions on human health necessitate the development of ultra-sensitive detection methods for Al ions. In this regard, the compact and portable design of the detection substrate is of utmost importance for achieving in-situ and sensitive detection of Al ions. In our study, we have successfully developed a surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) platform with gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) that was modified with histidine (His) and 4-mercaptobenzoic acid (4-MBA) for the SERS detection of Al ions.

Electrochemical bioassays that rely on sensor interfaces based on immobilized DNA probes often encounter challenges such as complex fabrication processes and limited binding efficiency. In this study, we developed a novel electrochemical bioassay that bypasses the need for probe immobilization by employing a solution-phase nucleic acid reaction to create interfacial barriers on unmodified electrodes, enabling rapid, just-in-time sensor interface formation. Specifically, a 3'-phosphorylated recognition probe was used to identify the target microRNA-21 (miR-21), followed by target recycling facilitated by duplex-specific nuclease (DSN), which resulted in extensive hydrolysis of the recognition probe into DNA fragments with 3'-hydroxyl ends.
