Fluorescent Properties of Gd-Doped Zno Nanonporous Networks & Its Application in Optical Biosensing
摘要： This research presents a study of the fluorescent properties of new materials based on gadolinium-doped zinc oxide nanoporous networks obtained by sol gel method on the surface of microcrystalline silicon. The effect of co-doping of different concentrations of Gd ions on the emission properties of ZnO nanoparticles has been investigated. Emissions of such biomolecules as protein, amino acids and porphyrin and its detection limits were studied for the purpose of practical application of Gd-doped ZnO nanonporous networks as an element of an optical biosensor technology.

Bioinformatics and enzymatics investigation of Trametes laccase for optical biosensing application
摘要： Laccase has recently drawn a considerable attention as a promising tool for optical biosensing application, mainly due to its attractive intrinsic optical properties. The discovery of a laccase with great enzyme stability is the principal step for enzyme-based optical biosensing application in in vitro environments. In this paper, we found that Trametes sp. SQ1 laccase retained more than 150% activity after storage in different conditions for 96 h, and the laccase activity was not affected by freeze–thaw. The reduced form of enzyme showed a new maximal increase in absorbance peak at 400 nm, while the fluorescence intensity of the oxidized form of enzyme was much stronger than that of the reduced enzyme. Therefore, Trametes sp. SQ1 laccase with good stability and optical properties will be a competitive candidate for optical biosensing application. Moreover, bioinformatics analysis on Trametes laccases revealed that the enzymes may be modified by N-glycosylation and have intermolecular disulfide bond for forming functional oligomer, which plays a role in stabilizing enzyme function. The results indicate that Trametes laccases are able to be with good stability. It will provide a guide in searching stable laccases for optical biosensing application.

Non-covalent Methods of Engineering Optical Sensors Based on Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes
摘要： Optical sensors based on single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) demonstrate tradeoffs that limit their use in in vivo and in vitro environments. Sensor characteristics are primarily governed by the non-covalent wrapping used to suspend the hydrophobic SWCNTs in aqueous solutions, and we herein review the advantages and disadvantages of several of these different wrappings. Sensors based on surfactant wrappings can show enhanced quantum efficiency, high stability, scalability, and diminished selectivity. Conversely, sensors based on synthetic and bio-polymer wrappings tend to show lower quantum efficiency, stability, and scalability, while demonstrating improved selectivity. Major efforts have focused on optimizing sensors based on DNA wrappings, which have intermediate properties that can be improved through synthetic modifications. Although SWCNT sensors have, to date, been mainly engineered using empirical approaches, herein we highlight alternative techniques based on iterative screening that offer a more guided approach to tuning sensor properties. These more rational techniques can yield new combinations that incorporate the advantages of the diverse nanotube wrappings available to create high performance optical sensors.

DC-biased optofluidic biolaser for uric acid detection
摘要： Optofluidic biolaser is an emerging technology for chemical and biomedical sensing. However, the sensitivity of optofluidic laser is still limited by the laser threshold condition. In this paper we report a DC-biased optofluidic biolaser for uric acid (UA) detection. Inside a Fabry-Perot laser cavity, a coupled enzyme reaction was employed to transform the detection of UA into the detection of analyte-converted hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). The fluorescent product of the enzyme-catalyzed reaction, resorufin, was employed as gain medium for optofluidic lasing. An optimized concentration of H2O2 was pre-added as a DC bias to counterbalance the requirement of high analyte concentration for lasing. UA detection with a limit of detection of 3.63 μM was achieved with a low sample volume as small as 10 μl. This work provides a sensitive technology using optofluidic biolaser for the detection of substance in human body fluids that can be converted into H2O2.

Design of Refolding DNA Aptamer on Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes for Enhanced Optical Detection of Target Proteins
摘要： DNA aptamer conjugated single-walled carbon nanotube (Aptamer-SWNT) hybrids have demonstrated effective optical biosensors because of its high selectivity and specificity to a target protein, however, the understanding of SWNT hybridization with an aptamer forming a secondary or tertiary structure is still lacking. We study wrapping methods dependent optical biosensing modulation by insulin and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) using the Aptamer-SWNT hybrids and the Aptamer-Anchor-SWNT hybrids with a periodically sequenced single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) as anchoring phases. We observe that the refolding nature of the aptamer and its combination with an anchoring phase are critical to the hybridization, where the remarkable optical sensing properties are attributed to the wrapping procedures including the direct wrapping with sonication and the indirect wrapping through dialysis. The tetrameric parallel-stranded G-quadruplex conformation of insulin binding aptamers (IBA) shows an enhanced fluorescence response quenching when using the directly wrapped Aptamer-Anchor-SWNT hybrids. In addition, helix-structural refolding of PDGF binding aptamers (PBA) on the SWNT vicinity under the indirect wrapping exhibits anchoring length-dependent optical modulation. Furthermore, the consecutive centrifuging processes with the indirect wrapping demonstrate fluorescence response brightening, in which the diameter dependent brightening effect is observed by aptamer-protein interactions. This study provides an understanding the underlying conjugation nature of both the Aptamer-SWNT and the Aptamer-Anchor-SWNT hybrids formation, facilitating exceptional optical sensing modules with consideration of refolding feature of aptamers, selection of anchoring phases, wrapping methods and centrifuging process, and the hybridization voyage for DNA-SWNT platforms maneuvers their outcoming optical biosensing capabilities.
