A new electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) biosensor is fabricated for the determination of mental ion incorporating DNA three-way junction structure (DNA-TWJ). As a model system, Hg was chosen as an analyte. The ECL biosensor was fabricated by covalently coupling Hg special DNA-TWJ tagged with ruthenium (II) complex (Ru) (named TW/Ru-J1) to the surface of glassy carbon electrode that had been covalently modified with 4-aminobenzoic acid via electrochemical oxidations. Upon binding of Hg to the TW/Ru-J1, the confirmation of TW/Ru-J1 changed and induced Ru away from surface of electrode and thus led to a low ECL signal. The signal linearly decreases with the concentration of Hg in the range from 0.1 pM to 10 pM with a detection limit of 0.04 pM This study could be easily extended to various analytical platforms for the detection of many kinds of analytes or their interactions such as DNA/RNA, DNAzyme/target, aptamer/target, and antibody/antigen.

Crystals with three-dimensional (3D) stereoscopic structures, characterized by diverse shapes, crystallographic planes, and morphologies, represent a significant advancement in catalysis. Differentiating and quantifying the catalytic activity of specific surface facets and sites at the single-particle level is essential for understanding and predicting catalytic performance. This study employs super-resolution radial fluctuations electrogenerated chemiluminescence microscopy (SRRF-ECLM) to achieve high-resolution mapping of electrocatalytic activity on individual 3D CuO crystals, including cubic, octahedral, and truncated octahedral structures.

Matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP-2) is an important biomarker for some diseases. Herein, one first-case coordination-based site-specific labeling strategy is proposed for electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) biosensing of MMP-2 by employing an iridium(III) solvent complex as a signal reagent and a histidine (His)-containing peptide as a molecular recognition substrate. One ECL probe was prepared via coordination labeling of the His-containing peptide with one iridium(III) solvent complex ([(3-(2-pyridyl)benzoic acid)Ir(DMSO)Cl], Ir1-DMSO).

This study developed a dual-mode "on-off-on" sensor based on a bipyridine ruthenium metal-organic framework (Ru-MOF) and dual enzyme cleavage technology for the sensitive detection of the K-ras gene. The sensor combines electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) and fluorescence (FL) detection modes, achieving high sensitivity and specificity in detecting the K-ras gene through catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA) and dual enzyme cleavage reactions. Experimental results showed that the detection limits for the K-ras gene were 0.

Microbubbles, inside-out microdroplets, act as extraordinary microreactors to facilitate thermodynamically unfavorable reactions in bulk solutions of water. We explored the formation of hydrogen peroxide (HO) and its sustained regeneration at the interface of water-gas microbubbles. For this purpose, the chemiluminescence of luminol was recorded by a digital camera to map the intensity of blue light emission over the time of about 20 min.
