Abstract

Traditional scaffolds such as metal nanoparticles and DNA origami remain a considerable challenge to regulate the enzyme cascade catalytic efficiency dynamically and reversibly on account of their irreversible conformation. To address these issues, a regenerated DNA tweezer was designed to dynamically regulate the interenzyme spacing for high-efficiency enzyme cascade amplification for homogeneous determination of target DNA related to cancer diseases. Initially, the enzyme-functionalized DNA tweezer was maintained at the opened state with a relatively distant interenzyme distance (19-24 nm), leading to a low catalytic efficiency. Benefiting from target induced Mg2+-dependent DNAzyme cleavage recycling, the one input target could be transduced to multiple corresponding methylene blue (MB) labeled DNA (S5), which served not only as the signal probe to provide a detectable electrochemical signal but also fuel to switch the DNA tweezer from the opened to closed state, leading to cascaded enzymes close enough (5-10 nm) for enhancing the catalytic efficiency for sensitive target DNA analysis with a low detection limit down to 30 fM. In the presence of antifuels, the closed DNA tweezer easily switched back to the opened state via a o...Continue Reading

Biosensors for Cancer Detection

Biosensors are devices that are designed to detect a specific biological analyte by essentially converting a biological entity (ie, protein, DNA, RNA) into an electrical signal that can be detected and analyzed. The use of biosensors in cancer detection and monitoring holds vast potential. Biosensors can be designed to detect emerging cancer biomarkers and to determine drug effectiveness at various target sites. Biosensor technology has the potential to provide fast and accurate detection, reliable imaging of cancer cells, and monitoring of angiogenesis and cancer metastasis, and the ability to determine the effectiveness of anticancer chemotherapy agents.
