In horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-based electrochemical immunosensing, an appropriate HRP substrate needs to be chosen to obtain a high electrochemical signal-to-background ratio. This is limited by the unwanted electrochemical reduction of HO, oxidation of the substrate, and the slow electrochemical reduction of the product. Herein, we report acetaminophen (AMP) as a new HRP substrate that allows for highly sensitive immunosensing. Electrochemical behavior and immunosensing performance using AMP are compared with those using the most popular HRP substrate, hydroquinone (HQ). To maintain a high electrocatalytic activity even at an electrode modified with an immunosensing layer, an indium tin oxide electrode partially modified with reduced graphene oxide is employed. AMP allows for a higher signal-to-background ratio than HQ, because the formal potential of AMP is 0.28 V higher than that of HQ and the redox reaction of AMP is as reversible as that of HQ, resulting in a lower detection limit in a sandwich-type immunoassay using AMP for thyroid-stimulating hormone detection. The calculated detection limit is ~0.2 pg/mL. The use of AMP as an HRP substrate is especially promising for highly sensitive electrochemical immunoassays.

Herein, we present a colorimetric sensing strategy for the identification and quantification of tumor-associated miRNAs based on dual DNAzyme amplification. In this sensing ensemble, the substrate portion of the Pb-dependent 8-17 DNAzyme combines with the G-quadruplex portion to form a hairpin substrate strand. The two split 8-17 DNAzyme strands are partially complementary to the substrate strand and serve as a recognition unit for binding the target miRNA.

In biosensing analysis, the activity of enzyme systems is limited by their fragility, and substrates catalyzed by monoenzymes tend to undergo spontaneous decomposition during ineffective mass transfer processes. In this study, we propose a novel strategy to encapsulate the glucose oxidase and horseradish peroxidase (GOx&HRP) cascade catalytic system within the hydrophilic zeolite imidazole framework ZIF-90. By leveraging the specific pore structure of ZIF-90, we effectively immobilized GOx and HRP molecules in their three-dimensional conformations, which improved the catalytic activity of the encapsulated enzymes compared with that of free GOx and HRP in various harsh environments.

Article Synopsis
- - The proposed strategy for detecting HER2, a key marker in breast cancer, involves a three-dimensional structure called COF that efficiently immobilizes the enzyme horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and uses a new redox mediator, 4-acetamidophenol (APAP), for enhanced electrochemical detection.
- - The combination of COF's structure and HRP results in better catalytic activity and stability compared to free HRP, allowing for improved target recognition and signal amplification in the detection process.
- - This advanced electrochemical aptasensor shows exceptional specificity and sensitivity, with a detection limit of 0.418 pg/mL for HER2, outperforming conventional methods and with the ability to differentiate between

Hybridoma technology remains a cornerstone of monoclonal antibody (mAb) discovery. Classical screening practices such as ELISA, western blot, and dot blot require laborious, time-consuming procedures, rendering them inefficient in time-restricted decision-making. Additionally, due to these assays' practical and technical limitations, specificity testing of the mAbs is usually omitted during the primary screening of hybridoma libraries.

The development of a versatile platform for bacterial assay and elimination is urgently needed due to the danger that bacteria pose to human life. Here, we synthesized a trimetallic deposition and horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-embedded porous coordination network-224 hybrid nanozymes (PCN-224 @AuPdPt@HRP) with outstanding peroxidase activity and fluorescence quenching ability. On this basis, we designed a dual recognition strategy-driven colorimetric-fluorescence dual-mode detection platform using Listeria monocytogenes as a pattern analyte.
