We propose a novel competitive mechanism involving the dissolved oxygen (O) between zirconium-based porphyrinic metal-organic framework nanoparticles (NMOFs) and luminol into a ratiometric electrochemiluminescence (ECL) biosensing interface. Zinc tetrakis(carboxyphenyl)-porphyrin (ZnTCPP) in NMOFs as electron media reduce O into reactive oxygen species (ROS) and produce singlet oxygen (O), resulting in cathodic ECL. Meanwhile, ROS also react with the luminol anion radical and amplify the anodic ECL emission. Based on the competitive-mechanism-driven ECL process, taking the detection of polynucleotide kinase (PNK) as example, with assembling DNA-functionalized NMOFs on the sensing interface, a lower detection limit of 6.5 × 10 U mL and broader linear relationship range from 0.0002 to 10 U mL were obtained compared with that of single-signal-driven ECL sensors. This proposed MOFs-luminol competitive ECL mechanism involving dissolved O may provide a new pathway for further research of a green and highly sensitive ECL biosensing system.

Fluorogenic RNA aptamers have various applications, including use as fluorescent tags for imaging RNA trafficking and as indicators of RNA-based sensors that exhibit fluorescence upon binding small-molecule fluorophores in living cells. Current fluorogenic RNA:fluorophore complexes typically emit visible fluorescence. However, it is challenging to develop fluorogenic RNA with near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence for in vivo imaging and sensing studies.

Background: The multifunctional cytokine interleukin-6 (IL-6) plays a pivotal role in chronic and acute inflammatory responses, underscoring the importance of accurately determining IL-6 levels for early diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of inflammation.
Results: This study developed a versatile and innovative single-particle surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) sensing platform for the precise and sensitive quantification of IL-6 in complex samples using a novel one-pot synthesized, silver ions-doped three-dimensional porous gold microparticles (PGMs) with abundant hot spots for robust SERS enhancement. By rationally designing rich cytosine-Ag-cytosine base pairs between IL-6 aptamers and complementary chains on the PGMs, we harnessed the SERS-enhancing effect to achieve highly sensitive and specific IL-6 quantification within a wide range of 10 to 10 mg/mL and a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.

The close genetic resemblance between Listeria monocytogenes and Listeria innocua, combined with their presence in similar environments, poses challenges for species-specific detection in food products. Ensuring food safety through microbiological standards necessitates reliable detection of pathogens like L. monocytogenes and L.

Cytosine-rich and poly(adenine)-tailed tetrahedral DNA framework (TDF) is designed as template (A-TDF) for anchoring silver nanoclusters (AgNCs) and igniting the dual-color fluorescence of AgNCs. The resultant DNA-AgNCs simultaneously emits red and green fluorescence, and the quantum yield of red fluorescence is as high as 44.8%.

Background: Recombinant Necator americanus Glutathione-S-Transferase-1 (Na-GST-1) formulated on Alhydrogel (Na-GST-1/Alhydrogel) is being developed to prevent anemia and other complications of N. americanus infection. Antibodies induced by vaccination with recombinant Na-GST-1 are hypothesized to interfere with the blood digestion pathway of adult hookworms in the host.
