An aptamer-based assay for thrombin via structure switch based on gold nanoparticles and magnetic nanoparticles

An aptamer-based assay for thrombin with high specificity and sensitivity was presented. In the protocol, the aptamer for thrombin was immobilized on magnetic nanoparticle, and its complementary oligonucleotide was labeled with gold nanoparticles, then the aptamer was hybridized with the complementary oligonucleotide to form the duplex structure as a probe, this probe could be used for the specific recognition for thrombin. In the presence of thrombin, the aptamer prefer to form the G-quarter structure with thrombin, resulting in the dissociation of the duplex of the probe and the release of the gold labeled oligonucleotide. Upon this, we were able to detect thrombin through the detection of the electrochemical signal of gold nanoparticles. The strategy combines with the high specificity of aptamer and the excellent characteristics of nanoparticles. This assay is simple, rapid, sensitive and highly specific, it does not require labeling of thrombin, and it could be applied to detect thrombin in complex real sample. The method shows great potential in other protein analysis and in disease diagnosis.     

A novel optical thrombin aptasensor based on magnetic nanoparticles and split DNAzyme

In this paper, we report a novel and sensitive optical sensing protocol for thrombin detection based on magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) and thrombin aptamer, employing split HRP-mimicking DNAzyme halves as its sensing element, which can catalyze the H₂O₂-mediated oxidation of the colorless ABTS into a blue-green product. A single nucleotide containing the recognition element and sensing element is utilized in our protocol. The specific recognition of thrombin and its aptamer leads to the structure deformation of the DNA strands and causes the split of the DNAzyme halves. Therefore, the decrease of absorption spectra can be recorded by the UV–visible Spectrophotometer. DNA-coated MNPs are utilized to separate the interferential materials from the analyst, thus making this assay can be applied in the detection of thrombin in complex samples, such as human plasma. This original, sensitive and cost-effective assay showed favorable recognition for thrombin. The absorbance signals with the concentration of thrombin over a range from 0.5 to 20 nM and the detection limit of thrombin was 0.5 nM. The controlled experiments showed that thrombin signal was not interfered in the presence of other co-existence proteins.

G‐Quadruplex‐Based DNAzymes Aptasensor for the Amplified Electrochemical Detection of Thrombin

A novel G‐quadruplex‐based DNAzymes aptasensor for the amplified electrochemical detection of thrombin has been described. The aptasensor utilized a combination of hemin and guanine‐rich thrombin‐binding aptamer (TBA) to form horseradish peroxidase (HRP)‐mimicking DNAzymes with peroxidase catalytic activity. In the presence of thrombin, the enzyme activity could be extensively promoted, thereby providing the amplified electrochemical readout signals for detecting thrombin. This aptasensor exhibited high sensitivity and selectivity for thrombin determination, which enabled the analysis of thrombin with a detection limit of 6×10^–11 M. On the basis of results, this method could have broad applications in the detection of proteins and other biomolecules.     

Impedimetric Aptasensor Based on Disposable Graphite Electrodes Developed for Thrombin Detection

The impedimetric aptasensor for Thrombin (THR) was developed for the first time herein by measuring changes at the charge‐transfer resistance, R_ct upon to protein? aptamer complex formation. After covalent activation of pencil graphite electrode (PGE) surface using covalent agents, amino linked aptamer (APT) was immobilized onto activated PGE surface. Then APT‐THR interaction was explored by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). After the optimization of experimental conditions (e.g., APT and THR concentration, immobilization and interaction times), the selectivity of impedimetric aptasensor was tested in the presence of other biomolecules: factor Va and bovine serum albumine (BSA) both in buffer media, or in diluted fetal bovine serum (FBS).

Polyphenothiazine Modified Electrochemical Aptasensor for Detection of Human α‐Thrombin

QCM aptasensor for detection human thrombin has been developed on the base of polymeric forms of phenothiazine dyes, Methylene Blue and Methylene Green. Electrostatic accumulation of the analyte in the polyphenothiazine layer made it possible to increase the sensitivity of QCM detection of thrombin in comparison with bare gold electrodes coated with avidin or neutravidin. The influence of nonspecific binding of human serum albumin and the optimal composition of the surface layers were determined. The aptasensors developed make it possible to detect 10–100 nM of thrombin.     

Simultaneously fluorescence detecting thrombin and lysozyme based on magnetic nanoparticle condensation

In this protocol, a fluorescent aptasensor based on magnetic separation for simultaneous detection thrombin and lysozyme was proposed. Firstly, one of the anti-thrombin aptamer and the anti-lysozyme aptamer were individually immobilized onto magnetic nanoparticles, acting as the protein captor. The other anti-thrombin aptamer was labeled with rhodamine B and the anti-lysozyme aptamer was labeled with fluorescein, employing as the protein report. By applying the sandwich detection strategy, the fluorescence response at 515 nm and 578 nm were respectively corresponding to lysozyme and thrombin with high selectivity and sensitivities. The fluorescence intensity was individually linear with the concentration of thrombin and lysozyme in the range of 0.13-4 nM and 0.56-12.3 nM, and the detection limits were 0.06 nM of thrombin and 0.2 nM of lysozyme, respectively. The preliminary study on simultaneous detection of thrombin and lysozyme in real plasma samples was also performed. It shows that the proposed approach has the good character for simultaneous multiple protein detection.     

Heterogeneous and Homogeneous Aptamer‐Based Electrochemical Sensors for Thrombin

Nanomolar concentrations of thrombin were electrochemically monitored using heterogeneous switch‐on and homogeneous switch‐off approaches that incorporated ferrocenyl aptamers. For the first time, the heterogeneous approach was coupled to a glucose/glucose oxidase (GOx) amplification‐regeneration system which increased its sensitivity by 2 folds with detection limits of 4.3 nM and 2.5 nM in the absence and presence of glucose/GOx, respectively. We also present a new homogeneous system involving the ferrocenyl aptamer binding thrombin in solution causing a significant decrease in its diffusion coefficient. Thus the ferrocene anodic current decreased at an unmodified gold electrode with detection limit of 3.9 nM and 12 times larger linear range than the heterogeneous method.

Colorimetric detection of potassium ions using aptamer-functionalized gold nanoparticles

Herein, a simple and novel colorimetric method for detection of potassium ions (K⁺) was developed. The colorimetric experiments revealed that upon the addition of K⁺, the conformation of anti-K⁺ aptamer in solution changed from random coil structure to compact rigid G-quadruplex one. This compact rigid G-quadruplex structure could not protect AuNPs against K⁺-induced aggregation, and thus the visible color change from wine-red to blue-purple could be observed by the naked eye. The linear range of the colorimetric aptasensor covered a large variation of K⁺ concentration from 5 nM to 1 μM and the detection limit of 5 nM was obtained. Moreover, this assay was able to detect K⁺ with high selectivity and had great potential applications.

Dual Signal Amplification Electrochemical Biosensor for Lead Cation

Herein, a sensitive electrochemical Pb²⁺ sensor was developed which based on DNA‐functionalized Au nanoparticles(AuNPs) and nanocomposite modified electrode. The DNA‐functionalized AuNPs includes two types of DNA, namely a Pb²⁺‐mediated DNAzyme comprising a biotin labeled‐enzyme DNA and a substrate strand DNA with a typical stem‐loop structure, and a ferrocene‐labeled linear signal DNA. Without Pb²⁺, the hairpin loop impeded biotin binding to avidin on the electrode. However,when the goal Pb²⁺ exists, the substratum strand was divided into two fragments that lead to the enzyme strand was substratumed on the electrode and biotin was admited by avidin, bringing about DNA‐functionalized AuNP(AuNPs) deposition on the electrode surface.The differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) was used to measure electrochemical response signals connect to signal DNA.For the amplification characters of the DNA‐functionalized AuNPs and nanocomposite, the electrochemical detection signal of Pb²⁺ was greatly improved and revealed high specificity. Under optimum conditions, the resultant biosensor bringed out a high sensitivity and selectivity for the determination of Pb²⁺. The proposed method was able to detect as low as picomolar Pb²⁺ concentrations.     

Peroxidase-Like Platinum Clusters Synthesized by Ganoderma lucidum Polysaccharide for Sensitively Colorimetric Detection of Dopamine

The sensitive and selective detection of dopamine (DA) is very important for the early diagnosis of DA-related diseases. In this study, we reported the colorimetric detection of DA using Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharide (GLP) stabilized platinum nanoclusters (Pt_n-GLP NCs). When Pt₆₀₀-GLP NCs was added, 3,3’,5,5’-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) was rapidly catalyzed and oxidized to blue oxTMB, indicating the peroxidase-like activity of Pt₆₀₀-GLP NCs. The catalytic reaction on the substrate TMB followed the Michaelis-Menton kinetics with the ping-pong mechanism. The mechanism of the colorimetric reaction was mainly due to the formation of hydroxyl radical (•OH). Furthermore, the catalytic reaction of Pt₆₀₀-GLP NCs was used in the colorimetric detection of DA. The linear range for DA was 1–100 μM and the detection limit was 0.66 μM. The sensitive detection of DA using Pt-GLP NCs with peroxidase-like activity offers a simple and practical method that may have great potential applications in the biotechnology field.
