In this study, an electroluminescent (ECL) aptasensor that could efficiently and sensitively detect acetamiprid (ACE) in vegetables was constructed based on an exonuclease-assisted target cycling amplification strategy. Bimetallic RuZn-based metal-organic framework (RuZn-MOF), nucleic acid exonuclease VII (Exo VII) and tetrahedral DNA nanostructure (TDN) were used as constituent materials. First, RuZn-MOF was a substrate material with good luminescence performance and was synthesized by a hydrothermal method.

Article Synopsis
  • - Diarrheagenic E. coli infections contribute to antibiotic resistance, prompting a need for better monitoring tools that can quickly identify both the pathogen and its antibiotic resistance at the point of care (POC).
  • - Researchers developed an electrochemical chip-based biosensor that detects enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) and its resistance to β-lactam antibiotics by using specific antibodies and a unique dual-channel setup for accurate and simultaneous analysis.
  • - The biosensor employs electrochemical techniques, demonstrating effective detection limits for identifying pathogenic bacteria and their antibiotic resistance markers, potentially aiding in controlling the spread of infections.

Collisions of microtubules with membrane-associated structures containing myosin VIII were recently described, and these data suggested that such collisions can happen between microtubules and other membrane-associated proteins. Such collisions may contribute to a coordinated organization between microtubules and membrane-associated proteins especially in cases of low lateral diffusion rates of the protein. Coordinated organization of cortical cytoskeleton and membrane structures can have consequences on membrane compartmentalization and downstream signaling.

Electrochemical Detection of Waterborne Bacteria Using Bi-Functional Magnetic Nanoparticle Conjugates.

Biosensors (Basel)

January 2022

Department of Sensing, Information and Mechanization Engineering, Institute of Agricultural Engineering, Volcani Institute (ARO), Rishon leZion 5025001, Israel.

Detection of microbial contamination in water is imperative to ensure water quality. We have developed an electrochemical method for the detection of using bi-functional magnetic nanoparticle (MNP) conjugates. The bi-functional MNP conjugates were prepared by terminal-specific conjugation of anti- IgG antibody and the electroactive marker ferrocene.
