By assembling DNAzyme on DNA nanowires through DNA hybridization, we have developed a novel accelerated DNAzyme-based fluorescent nanoprobe for fast, sensitive and selective detection of miRNA. Moreover, the strategy was successfully applied for in situ imaging of miRNA-21 in different cell lines.

By integrating near-infrared (NIR) light-dependent optical control and DNA walkers-based signal amplification, upconversion luminescence-activated DNA nanomachines hold great potential in conducting an analysis. For the typical DNA nanomachines, the immobile multivalent recognition interface greatly compromised the reaction kinetics and amplification efficiency due to the cleavage-dependent response mode. In this work, novel upconversion luminescence-activated DNA nanomachines with a fluid multivalent recognition interface were reported for rapid and sensitive imaging.

DNAzymes are promising agents for theranostics and biosensors. Sodium dependent DNAzymes have been developed for sensing and imaging of Na, but these DNAzymes have low catalytic activity. Herein, we demonstrate that a molecular crowded environment containing 10 to 40 wt% PEG enhanced the catalytic activity of a Na-dependent DNAzyme, EtNa, although dextran did not.

In this work, a novel reduction-accelerated quenching of manganese porphyrin (MnPP) based signal-off cathode photochemical (PEC) biosensor by using Au nano-flower/organic polymer (PTB7-Th) heterojunction as platform was proposed for ultrasensitive detection of Hg. Firstly, the photoactive PTB7-Th with Au nano-flower on electrode could form a typical Mott-Schottky heterojunction for acquiring an extremely high cathode signal. Meanwhile, the presence of target Hg could bring in the formation of T-Hg-T based scissor-like DNA walker, which thus activated efficient Mg-specific DNAzyme based cleavage recycling to shear hairpin H2 on electrode to exposure abundant trigger sites of hybridization chain reaction (HCR) for in-situ decoration of quencher MnPP.

Enzyme-free isothermal amplification reactions for nucleic acid analysis usually take several hours to obtain sufficient detection sensitivity, which limits their practical applications. Herein, we report a butanol dehydration-based method to greatly improve both the efficiency and the sensitivity of nucleic acid detections by three types of enzyme-free isothermal amplification reactions. The reaction time has been shortened from 3 h to 5-20 min with higher sensitivities.
