利用光生物传感器研究阳离子卟啉与人血清白蛋白的相互作用

An optical biosensor with a stirred cuvette has been used to monitor the interaction between immobilized human serum albumin （HSA） and three water-soluble cationic porphyrins. The binding constants at 25℃ obtained from biosensor analysis were compared with those from fluorescence spectroscopy. The interactions were further investigated at temperatures from 15℃ to 30℃. The thermodynamics parameters, changes of free energy （△G）, enthalpy （△H） and entropy （△S）, were evaluated from equilibrium data. It appeared that the binding process was governed primarily by electrostatic forces.     

Immobilization and Characterization of Glucose Oxidase on Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes and Its Application to Sensing Glucose

The negatively charged （at pH 8.2） glucose oxidase （GOx, pI ca. 4.2） was assembled onto the surface of single-walled carbon nanotubes （SWNT）, which was covered （or wrapped） by a layer of positively charged polyelectrolyte poly（dimethyldiallylammonium chloride） （PDDA）, via the electrostatic interaction forming GOx-PDDASWNT nanocomposites. Fourier transform infrared （FTIR）, UV-Vis and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy （EIS） were used to characterize the growth processes of the nanocomposites. The results indicated that GOx retained its native secondary conformational structure after it was immobilized on the surface of PDDA-SWNT. A biosensor （Nafion-GOx-PDDA-SWNT/GC） was developed by immobilization of GOx-PDDA-SWNT nanocomposites on the surface of glassy carbon （GC） electrode using Nafion （5%） as a binder. The biosensor showed the electrocatalytic activity toward the oxidation of glucose under the presence of ferrocene monocarboxylic acid （FcM） as an electroactive mediator with a good stability, reproducibility and higher biological affinity. Under an optimal condition, the biosensor could be used to detection of glucose, presenting a typical characteristic of Michaelis-Menten kinetics with the apparent Michaelis-Menten constant of KM^app ca. 4.5 mmol/L, with a linear range of the concentration of glucose from 0.5 to 5.5 mmol/L （with correlation coefficient of 0.999） and the detection limit of ca. 83 μmol/L （at a signal-to-noise ratio of 3）. Thus the biosensor was useful in sensing the glucose concentration in serum since the normal glucose concentration in blood serum was around 4.6 mmol/L. The facile procedure of immobilizing GOx used in present work would promote the developments of electrochemical research for enzymes （proteins）, biosensors, biofuel cells and other bioelectrochemical devices.     

Imaging Array SPR Biosensor Immunoassays for Sulfamethoxazole and Sulfamethazine

A homemade array surface plasmon resonance (SPR)-based imaging biosensor was used to develop sensitive and fast immunoassays to determine sulfamethoxazole (SMOZ) and sulfamethazine (SMT) in buffer. Two conjugations of sulfonamide-bovine serum albumin (BSA) were separately immobilized on two different rows of the array chip with one row as reference. The immobilization was carried out in the instrument to monitor the quantity of the conjugations immobilized. The antibody mixed with the sulfonamide in the buffer was injected over the surface of the chip to get a relative response which was inversely proportional to the concentration of the sulfonamide in the PBS buffer. Two calibration curves were constructed and the limit of detection for sufamethoxazole in buffer was 3.5 ng/mL and for sulfamethazine 0.6 ng/mL. The stability and specificity of the antibody were also studied. The monoclonal antibody did not bind with BSA.     

Electrochemical Study on the Interaction of Protein with Bromothymol Blue and Its Analytical Application

The interaction of bromothymol blue（BB） with human serum albumin（HSA） was studied by electrochemical techniques and a sensitive method for proteins assay was developed. When BB interacted with HSA, the voltammetric peak current value of BB decreased linearly with the concentration of HSA in a range of 1.0--40.0 mg/L, and the peak potential shifted negatively. Based on the results, a sensitive assay method for proteins, such as HSA, bovine serum albumin（BSA）, and egg albumin etc. was established. This method was further applied to determining the HSA in healthy human blood samples, and the results are not significantly different from those obtained by the classic Coomassie Brilliant Blue G-250 spectrophotometic method. The detecting conditions of this method were optimized and the interaction mechanism was discussed. The results show that the electrochemical parameters（formal potential E^0, standard rate constant of the electrode reaction ks, parameter of kinetic nα） of BB have no obvious changes before and after the interaction, which indicate that BB can interact with HSA, forming an electrochemical non-active complex. The equilibrium constant（βs） and the binding ratio（m） for this complex were calculated. The m is 4 and βs is 1.41 × 10^19. This method is fast, simple, highly sensitive, and has good selectivity, which can be used in clinical measurements.     

Label-free Detection of Biotin Using Nanoporous TiO2/DNA Thin-film Coated Wavelength Interrogated Surface Plasmon Resonance Sensors

The sensing sensitivity of the wavelength interrogated surface plasmon resonance（WISPR） biosensor could be improved by self-assembly of nanoporous thin-film of TiO2 nanoparticles/DNA（TiO2/DNA）n（n is the number of bilayer） on wavelength interrogated surface plasmon resonance（WISPR） chips.The growth behavior and surface structure of the nanoporous thin-film were investigated by UV-Vis spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy,respectively.The home-made WISPR sensor with Krestchmann configuration consisted of a tungsten-halogen lamp as a photon source and a CCD camera as the detector.After the deposition of （DNA/TiO2）n thin film on WISPR chips,the resonance peak of the reflection spectra appeared in air.With the increases of n,the resonance wavelength gradually red shifted,which is consistent with the simulated results.After the optimization of the porous film,the WISPR biosensor was utilized to detect low-molecular-weight analytes,such as biotin.The result demonstrates that the sensitivity of [poly（styrene sulfonate）/polyally lamine hydrochlorides]5（PSS/PAH）5 could be 4 times higher than that of polyelectrolyte multilayer modified WISPR sensor.     

Cholesterol oxidase biosensor based on a glassy carbon electrode modified with Nafion and methyl viologen

Cholesterol oxidase biosensor has been constructed by using bovine serum albumin and glutaraldehyde as cross linker to immobilize cholesterol oxidase and cholesterol esterase on a glassy carbon electrode modified with Nafion and methyl viologen. The biosensor has been used to determine total cholesterol in blood. The linear range of the determination is 2.5×10~7 to 1.0×10-4 mol/L. The detection limit is about 5.0×10~8 mol/L. The response time is 12 s. This biosensor has the advantage of high selectivity, sensitivity and short response time.     

In situ Molecular Self-assembly and Sensitive Label-free Detection of Streptavidin via a Wavelength Interrogated Surface Plasmon Resonance Sensor

The sensing sensitivity of wavelength interrogated surface plasmon resonance（WISPR） biosensor is improved by self-assembly of polyelectrolyte multilayer（PEM） film of poly（allylamine hydrochloride）（PAH）/ poly（sodium-p-styrenesulfonate）（PSS） on the Au film coated glass chip via the layer-by-layer（LBL） technique. The home-made WISPR with Krestchmann configuration consists of a tungsten-halogen lamp as a photon source and a charge coupled device（CCD） camera as the detector. The influence of PEM film thickness on the optical properties of WISPR biosensors was investigated theoretically and experimentally. In order to achieve higher sensing sensitivity, the PEM film thickness has to be designed as ca.14 nm at an Au layer thickness of 50 nm and an incidental angle of 11.8°. Furthermore, the PEM coated WISPR biosensor can serve as highly sensitive biosensor, in which the biotin-streptavidin is used as bioconjugate pair. After deposition of the PEM film of （biotin/PAH）（PSS/PAH）3, the modified WISPR biosensor is more sensitive to the low concentration（〈0.01 mg/mL） of streptavidin. And the sensing sensitivity can be further increased by one order of magnitude compared with that of the biotin/PAH coated WISPR biosensor. Thus, such low-cost, high-performance and efficient PEM-coated WISPR biosensors have great potentials in a diverse array of fields such as medical diagnostics, drug screening, food safety analysis, environmental monitoring, and homeland security.     

Ratiometric Fluorescent Probe Based on Novel Red-emission BODIPY for Determination of Bovine Serum Albumin

A novel red-emission boron-dipyrromethene（BODIPY） dye with a pyrrole ring was synthesized simply via one-pot reaction. The spectral properties of it were investigated under the conditions of different solvents. The results show that the as-prepared BODIPY dye is extremely sensitive to solvent polarity, and the fluorescent emission enhances with the decrease of solvent polarity. In aqueous buffer, the addition of bovine serum albumin leads to a ratiometric change in absorption spectra with an association constant of 1.16×10^6 L/mol. Meanwhile, the fluorescence emission increases greatly at 622 nm but changes slightly at 575 nm. The response time is very short（less than 3 min）, and the changes of color can be noticed by naked eyes. Bovine serum albumin can be detected by this ratiometric fluorescence probe, but other proteins or enzymes cannot be detected by this method, which indicates that this novel dye has high selectivity towards bovine serum albumin. The reason is that bovine serum albumin has suitable hydro- phobic cavities for binding with the dye. In addition, the dye molecule can penetrate cell membrane easily and make a fast fluorescent stain, which makes it a potential probe for living-cell fluorescence imaging.     

Hydrogen peroxide biosensor based on electrodeposition of zinc oxide nanoflowers onto carbon nanotubes film electrode

A new amperometric biosensor for hydrogen peroxide was developed based on adsorption of horseradish peroxidase at the glassy carbon electrode modified with zinc oxide nanoflowers produced by electrodeposition onto multi-walled carbon nanotubes （MWNTs） film. The morphology of the MWNTs/nano-ZnO electrode has been investigated by scanning electron microscopy （SEM）, and the electrochemical performance of the electrode has also been studied by amperometric method. The resulting electrode offered an excellent detection for hydrogen peroxide at -0.11 V with a linear response range of 9.9×10^-7 to 2.9×10^-3 mol/L with a correlation coefficient of 0.991, and response time 〈5 s. The biosensor displays rapid response and expanded linear response range, and excellent stability.

It shows a highly sensitive and selective fluorescence enhancement property for bovine serum albumin （BSA） protein detection and quantification. Analysis on the interaction between the probe molecule and BSA reveals the essential role of the hydrophobic cavities of the protein folding structure.

An optical surface plasmon resonance biosensor for determination of tetanus toxin

Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) has been successfully applied for the simple, rapid, and label-free assay of various biomolecules. This assay evaluates a novel wavelength modulation SPR biosensor for the detection of tetanus toxin. The wavelength modulation SPR biosensor is designed based on fixing the incident angle of light and measuring the reflected intensities in the resonance wavelength range spanning 400-800 nm simultaneously. Tetanus toxin (TeNT), one of the most potent toxins known, is synthesized as a 150 kDa single polypeptide chain. The SPR biosensor has been shown to be capable of directly detecting concentration of tetanus toxin as low as 0.028 Lf ml⁻¹. Under selected experimental conditions, the SPR biosensor has a good reproducibility, sensitivity and reversibility. The results illustrate how wavelength modulation SPR biosensor can be used to detect biomolecular interactions.     

Kinetic Analysis of the Interaction between Nonsteroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs and Cyclooxygenase-2Using Wavelength Modulation Surface Plasmon Resonance

A surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensor based on wavelength modulation technology was developed and validated for the kinetic analysis of the interactions between two nonsteroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and cyclooxygenase‐2 (COX‐2). After the effect of different concentration COX‐2 on the binding capacity of the SPR biosensor surface was studied, the COX‐2 was immobilized covalently onto the biosensor surface using a standard amine coupling method. The affinity constants for indomethacin, ketoprofen binding to COX‐2 are 7.5×10³ L/mol and 9.25×10³ L/mol, respectively. The biosensor surface can be regenerated after being rinsed with 0.01 mol/L NaOH, and the biosensor can be used repeatedly. These indicated that the wavelength modulation SPR biosensor has the potential application in the fields of pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and drug discovery.     

Multichannel SPR biosensor for detection of endocrine-disrupting compounds

A surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensor for simultaneous detection of multiple organic pollutants exhibiting endocrine-disrupting activity, namely atrazine, benzo[a]pyrene, 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) and 4-nonylphenol, is reported. The biosensor utilizes a multichannel SPR sensor based on wavelength modulation of SPR and wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) of sensing channels, antibodies as biorecognition element and a competitive immunoassay detection format. An analysis time of 45 min (including 30-min incubation of the sample with antibodies) and limits of detection as low as 0.05, 0.07, 0.16 and 0.26 ng mL⁻¹ are demonstrated for benzo[a]pyrene, atrazine, 2,4-D and 4-nonylphenol, respectively. The biosensor is also shown to be regenerable and suitable for repeated use.     

Continuous Immunoassay for Sulfamethazine by Surface Plasmon Resonance-Based Biosensor

Regeneration of the sensor chip surface is difficult in many surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensor assays. Improper regeneration will reduce life span of the sensor chip and decrease the quality of the data. Considering the advantages of reducing the regeneration frequency, a theoretically feasible continuous SPR biosensor immunoassay for sulfamethazine (SMT) was developed. In the continuous inhibitive immunoassay, the sensor chip surface is regenerated only once after a definite number of tests instead of every test. The SMT-bovine serum albumin (BSA) conjugate was covalently immobilized to a carboxymethyldextran modified gold film. The immobilization conditions of the antigen were studied and the working dilution of the antibody was optimized. The antibody was mixed with SMT of different concentrations prepared with PBS buffer to construct the calibration curve. The limit of detection was 0.5 ng mL^?1. The continuous SPR biosensor assay was proved to be simpler and more practical than a normal one.     

Detection of microcystins in environmental samples using surface plasmon resonance biosensor

An indirect inhibitive surface plasmon resonance (SPR) immunoassay was developed for the microcystins (MCs) detection. The bioconjugate of MC-LR and bovine serum albumin (BSA) was immobilized on a CM5 sensor chip. A serial premixture of MC-LR standards (or samples) and monoclonal antibody (mAb) were injected over the functional sensor surface, and the subsequent specific immunoreaction was monitored on the BIAcore 3000 biosensor and generated a signal with an increasing intensity in response to the decreasing MCs concentration. The developed SPR immunoassay has a wide quantitative range in 1-100 μg L⁻¹. Although not as sensitive as conventional enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), the SPR biosensor offered unique advantages: (1) the sensor chip could be reusable without any significant loss in its binding activity after 50 assay-regeneration cycles, (2) one single assay could be accomplished in 50 min (including 30-min preincubation and 20-min BIAcore analysis), and (3) this method did not require multiple steps. The SPR biosensor was also used to detect MCs in environmental samples, and the results compared well with those obtained by ELISA. We conclude that the SPR biosensor offers outstanding advantages for the MCs detection and may be further developed as a field-portable sensor for real-time monitoring of MCs on site in the near future.     

Enhanced optical immunosensor based on surface plasmon resonance for determination of transferrin

Wavelength modulation surface plasmon resonance biosensors (SPR) using colloidal Au nanoparticles and double-linker sensing membrane enhancement are reported for determination of transferrin. The 2-mercaptoethylamine (MEA) was immobilized on the biosensor surface with traditional amine coupling method. The interaction between colloidal Au nanoparticles and MEA was investigated. The anti-transferrin was immobilized on the biosensor surface prepared with staphylococcal protein A (SPA). The interaction of the antibody and antigen was monitored in real time. The good response was obtained in the concentration range 1-20, 0.1-20 and 0.05-20 μg/mL for directly immune assay, double-linker assay and colloidal Au-amplified assay. The result clearly demonstrates that these methods may obtain significantly enhancement of sensitivity for the wavelength modulation SPR biosensor.
