We screened a series of RNA and DNA aptamers for their ability to serve in the dye displacement assays in which analytes compete
with TO dye. We conclude that, while the performance of the TO dye displacement approach is not always predictable, it is
still a simple and sensitive assay to detect binding between RNA aptamers and small molecules. In particular, we describe
efficient assays for tobramycin and theophylline, with up to 90% displacement of TO observed, and we describe the first aptameric
assay for cAMP.

from the complex and a reduction in fluorescence

The derivatization of cysteine-containing peptides with benzoquinone compounds is rapid, quantitative and specific in acidic
media. The conversion of cysteines into hydrophobic benzoquinone-adducted residues in peptides is used here to alter the chromatographic
properties of cysteinyl peptides during liquid chromatography separation. The benzoquinone derivatization is shown to allow
the accurate selection of cysteine-containing peptides of bovine serum albumin tryptic digest by diagonal reversed-phase chromatography,
which consists of one primary and a series of secondary identical liquid chromatographic separations, before and after a cysteinyl-targeted
modification of the peptides by benzoquinone compounds.

We describe a DNA microarray system using a bipolar integrated circuit photodiode array (PDA) chip as a new platform for DNA
analysis. The PDA chip comprises an 8 × 6 array of photodiodes each with a diameter of 600 μm. Each photodiode element acts
both as a support for an immobilizing probe DNA and as a two-dimensional photodetector. The usefulness of the PDA microarray
platform is demonstrated by the detection of high-risk subtypes of human papilloma virus (HPV). The polymerase chain reaction
(PCR)-amplified biotinylated HPV target DNA was hybridized with the immobilized probe DNA on the photodiode surface, and the
chip was incubated in an anti-biotin antibody-conjugated gold nanoparticle solution. The silver enhancement by the gold nanoparticles
bound to the biotin of the HPV target DNA precipitates silver metal particles at the chip surfaces, which block light irradiated
from above. The resulting drop in output voltage depends on the amount of target DNA present in the sample solution, which
allows the specific detection and the quantitative analysis of the complementary target DNA. The PDA chip showed high relative
signal ratios of HPV probe DNA hybridized with complementary target DNA, indicating an excellent capability in discriminating
HPV subtypes. The detection limit for the HPV target DNA analysis improved from 1.2 nM to 30 pM by changing the silver development
time from 5 to 10 min. Moreover, the enhanced silver development promoted by the gold nanoparticles could be applied to a
broader range of target DNA concentration by controlling the silver development time.

An aptamer-based label-free approach to hemin recognition and DNA assay using capillary electrophoresis with chemiluminescence
detection is introduced here. Two guanine-rich DNA aptamers were used as the recognition element and target DNA, respectively.
In the presence of potassium ions, the two aptamers folded into the G-quartet structures, binding hemin with high specificity
and affinity. Based on the G-quartet–hemin interactions, the ligand molecule was specifically recognized with a K
d ≈ 73 nM, and the target DNA could be detected at 0.1 μM. In phosphate buffer of pH 11.0, hemin catalyzed the H2O2-mediated oxidation of luminol to generate strong chemiluminescence signal; thus the target molecule itself served as an indicator
for the molecule–aptamer interaction, which made the labeling and/or modification of aptamers or target molecules unnecessary.
This label-free method for molecular recognition and DNA detection is therefore simple, easy, and effective.
Figure A label-free approach to aptamer-based hemin recognition and DNA detection is introduced, which gives great potential for
using a small molecule itself as the indicator for molecular recognition and DNA detection thereby avoiding any labeling or
modification step 相似文献

Telomerase is a potentially important biomarker and a prognostic indicator of cancer. Several techniques for assessing telomerase
activity, including the telomeric repeat amplification protocol (TRAP) and its modified versions, have been developed. Of
these methods, real-time quantitative TRAP (RTQ-TRAP) is considered the most promising. In this work, a novel RTQ-TRAP method
is developed in which a telomeric repeats-specific molecular beacon is used. The use of the molecular beacon can improve the
specificity of the RTQ-TRAP assay, making the method suitable for studying the overall processivity results and the turnover
rate of telomerase. In addition, the real-time, closed-tube protocol used obviates the need for post-amplification procedures,
reduces the risk of carryover contamination, and supports high throughput. Its performance in synthetic telomerase products
and cell extracts suggests that the developed molecular beacon assay can further enhance the clinical utility of telomerase
activity as a biomarker/indicator in cancer diagnosis and prognosis. The method also provides a novel approach to the specific
detection of some particular gene sequences to which sequence-specific fluorogenic probes cannot be applied directly.

The present work describes, for the first time, in situ electrochemical preparation of dendrimer-encapsulated Cu nanoparticles
using a self-assembled monolayer of fourth-generation amine-terminated polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimer as the template. Atomic
force microscopy (AFM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) studies of the modified surface confirmed the presence of
Cu nanoparticles entrapped in dendrimer film. Au electrode modified with a monolayer of the dendrimer enables preconcentration
and subsequent voltammetric detection of Cu2+ at picomolar concentrations. Further, Cu nanoparticles in the dendrimer monolayer could be electrochemically derivatised
to Cu hexacyanoferrate, which exhibits specific crystal planes, unlike the random distribution of crystal planes in bulk-formed
Cu hexacyanoferrate, which is another catalytically active material for sensor applications.

The important role that surface chemical analysis methods can and should play in the characterization of nanoparticles is
described. The types of information that can be obtained from analysis of nanoparticles using Auger electron spectroscopy
(AES), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), time-of-flight secondary-ion mass spectrometry (TOF-SIMS), low-energy ion scattering
(LEIS), and scanning-probe microscopy (SPM), including scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM),
are briefly summarized. Examples describing the characterization of engineered nanoparticles are provided. Specific analysis
considerations and issues associated with using surface-analysis methods for the characterization of nanoparticles are discussed
and summarized, with the impact that shape instability, environmentally induced changes, deliberate and accidental coating,
etc., have on nanoparticle properties.

Titanate sol–gel layers imprinted with midchain carbonic acids have proven highly useful for detecting engine oil degradation
processes owing to selective incorporation of oxidised base oil components. Synthesising the material from TiCl4 in CCl4 and precipitating with water leads to imprinted TiO2 nanoparticles with a diameter of 200–300 nm. Replacing the water by a 1 M ammonium hydroxide solution reduces the average
particle size to 50–100 nm with retention of the interaction capabilities. Experiments with the latter solution revealed that
the 100-nm particles take up substantially more analyte, indicating a size-dependent phenomenon. As the number of interaction
sites within each material is the same, this cannot be a consequence of thermodynamics but must be one of accessibility. The
sensor characteristic of water-precipitated particles towards engine oil degradation products shows substantially increased
sensitivity and dynamic range compared with the corresponding thin films. Coating quartz crystal microbalances with such nanoparticle
materials leads to engine oil degradation sensors owing to incorporation of acidic base oil oxidation products. Interaction
studies over a large range of layer thicknesses revealed that both the absolute signal and the steepness of the correlation
between the sensor signal and the layer height is 2 times higher for the particles.

The efficiencies of two traditional extraction methods used in Chinese medicine (the decoction method and the maceration method)
were evaluated for the extraction of antioxidants from medicinal plants. A group of medicinal plants possessing nutritious
and tonic functions were chosen as model plants. A commonly used extraction method was used as a reference method. The antioxidant
capacities and total phenolic contents of the extracts were measured by ferric-reducing antioxidant power and Trolox equivalent
antioxidant capacity assays as well as the Folin–Ciocalteu method, respectively. The results obtained indicated that the two
traditional extraction methods could effectively extract antioxidants from medicinal plants. These extraction methods can
be applied to the analysis and purification of antioxidants in plants, respectively. At home, people can use these methods
to extract antioxidants from plants for consumption. In the food industry, these methods could be utilized to prepare crude
extracts from plants containing antioxidants for use as food additives.

Collision-induced reporter fragmentations of the currently most important covalent peptide modifications as detected by tandem
mass spectrometry are summarized. These fragmentations comprise the formation of reporter ions, which are preferentially immonium
ions, immonium ion-derived fragments or side chain fragments. In addition, the reporter neutral loss reactions for covalently
modified amino acid residues are summarized. For each individual covalent modification which can be recognized by a reporter
fragmentation, the accurate mass shift and the gross formula shift of the modified amino acid residue are given. The same
set of data is provided for the reporter fragmentations. Finally, an extensive accurate mass and gross formula list is presented
as supplementary material, describing mostly regular and modified y1 and dipeptide a and b ions, which are helpful for identification of the peptide ends of covalently modified peptides.
Figure When modified peptides are fragmented by collision-induced dissociation in a tandem mass spectrometer, the modification is
either lost as part of a charged fragment, so that a reporter ion for the modification is generated or it is lost as part of a neutral fragment, so that a modification-specific reporter neutral loss is observed in the fragment ion spectrum.

Locked nucleic acid (LNA) is a deoxyribonucleotide analogue with an unusual ‘locked’ furanose conformation. LNA-modified oligonucleotide
probes have demonstrated an enhanced binding affinity towards their complementary strands; however, their potential to discriminate
non-complementary hybridization of mismatches has not been explored. In this study, we investigated the effect of the chemical
nature of LNA nucleobases on the hybridization stability and the capability of LNA-modified oligonucleotides to discriminate
the LNA:DNA mismatched base pairs. It was observed that LNA modification indeed improves the discrimination capability of
oligonucleotides by increasing the melting temperature differences between the complementary duplexes and hybrids containing
mismatches. Particularly, LNA purines offer a greater potential to recognize the mismatches than LNA pyrimidines and DNA purines.
Real-time PCR experiments further confirmed that LNA modifications at the 3′-end are more effective. The results and conclusions
in this study provide useful information for hybridization-based nucleic acid analysis where designing sound oligonucleotide
probes is crucial to the success of the analyses.

Biological self-assembly is a natural process that involves various biomolecules, and finding the missing partner in these
interactions is crucial for a specific biological function. Previously, we showed that evanescent-field-coupled waveguide-mode
sensor in conjunction with a SiO2 waveguide, the surfaces which contain cylindrical nanometric holes produced by atomic bombardment, allowed us to detect efficiently
the biomolecular interactions. In the present studies, we showed that the assembly of biomolecules can be monitored using
the evanescent-field-coupled waveguide-mode biosensor and thus provide a methodology in monitoring assembly process in macromolecular
machines while they are assembling.

The interaction of 11-mercaptoundecanoic acid capped gold nanoparticles (MUA-GNPs) with europium ions and aminoacids has been
studied by UV-Vis spectrophotometry, fluorescence, confocal fluorescence microscopy, resonance light scattering and TEM. Results
demonstrated that hyper-Rayleigh scattering emission occurs upon the addition of lysine to the MUA-GNPs–Eu(III) system, thus
providing an inherently sensitive method for lysine determination. The effects of geometrical factors of the gold nanoparticles
(aspect ratio, particle size, cluster formation) and the surrounding medium (pH) on this behavior are discussed. The cooperative
binding interactions of Eu3+ and lysine with gold nanoparticles permitted the discrimination of lysine from other amino acids. The probable mechanism
for the spectral changes and the enhanced resonance light scattering observed is outlined.

Understanding the molecular mechanism of HIV-1 integrase (IN) activity is critical to find functional inhibitors for an effective
AIDS therapy. A robust, fast, and sensitive method for studying IN activity is required. In this work, an assay for real-time
label-free monitoring of the IN activity based on surface plasmon resonance was developed. This assay enabled direct monitoring
of the integration of a viral doubled-stranded (ds) DNA into the host genome. The strand transfer reaction was detected by
using two different DNA targets: supercoiled plasmid (pUC 19) and short palindrome oligonucleotide. The effect of the length
of the DNA target on the possibility to monitor the actual process of the strand transfer reaction is discussed. The surface
density of integrated ds-DNA was determined. IN binding to the oligonucleotide complexes and model DNA triplexes in the presence
of various divalent ions as metal cofactors was investigated as well. The assay developed can serve as an important analytical
tool to search for potential strand transfer reaction inhibitors as well as for the study of compounds interfering with the
binding of ds long terminal repeats–IN complexes with the host DNA.
HIV-1 integrase strand transfer activity was monitored in real time using a multichannel surface plasmon resonance biosensor.

The electrospray mass spectrometric characterization of neutral dendrons with a carboxylic acid function or a t-butyl ester moiety at the central point and up to eight peripheral C60 subunits has been performed and is described in detail. Molecules bearing a carboxylic acid group at the center turned out
to be preferentially ionized by deprotonation, whereas those with a t-butyl ester head group were ionized by reduction of the C60 units in the infusion capillary of the electrospray source.

Recent advances in nanotechnology have enabled the development of nanoscale sensors that outperform conventional biosensors.
This review summarizes the nanoscale biosensors that use aptamers as molecular recognition elements. The advantages of aptamers
over antibodies as sensors are highlighted. These advantages are especially apparent with electrical sensors such as electrochemical
sensors or those using field-effect transistors.

Cholesterol oxidase (ChOx), cholesterol esterase (ChEt), and horseradish peroxidase (HRP) have been co-immobilized covalently
on a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) of N-(2-aminoethyl)-3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (AEAPTS) deposited on an indium–tin–oxide (ITO) glass surface. These enzyme-modified
(ChOx-ChEt-HRP/AEAPTS/ITO) biosensing electrodes have been used to estimate cholesteryl oleate from 10 to 500 mg dL−1. The sensitivity, K
m value, and shelf-life of these ChEt-ChOx-HRP/AEAPTS/ITO biosensing electrodes have been found to be 124 nA mg−1 dL, 95.098 mg dL−1 (1.46 mmol L−1), and ten weeks, respectively. The ChEt-ChOx-HRP/AEAPTS/ITO bio-electrodes have been used to estimate total cholesterol in
serum samples.

Surface wettability conversion with hydrophobins is important for its applications in biodevices. In this work, the application
of a type I hydrophobin HGFI in surface wettability conversion on mica, glass, and poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) was investigated.
X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and water-contact-angle (WCA) measurements indicated that HGFI modification could efficiently
change the surface wettability. Data also showed that self-assembled HGFI had better stability than type II hydrophobin HFBI.
Protein patterning and the following immunoassay illustrated that surface modification with HGFI should be a feasible strategy
for biosensor device fabrication.

The possibilities of anodic stripping voltammetry (ASV) using an alternating current (AC) scan in the stripping step have
been checked through the study of the complexation of cadmium by Suwannee river fulvic acid (SRFA), a reference fulvic acid
from the International Humic Substances Society. Because of the strong electrode adsorption of SRFA, AC mode appears to be
a good approach to the study when proper selection of the phase angle is made. The goodness of AC mode in ASV has been demonstrated,
and the complexation constant of 3.71 ± 0.04 determined is in good agreement with the value of the constant obtained by the
reference technique of reverse pulse polarography. Some particularities of SRFA have been observed, among them its homofunctional
and strongly heterogeneous behaviour in cadmium complexation and the impossibility of avoiding electrode adsorption problems
in ASV measurements at very low metal concentrations.
