Abstract

This work presents a heterojunction-mediated photoelectrochemical (PEC) biointerface for selective detection of microcystin-LR (MC-LR) by introducing a direct Z-scheme heterojunction as efficient visible-light-driven photoactive species. Specifically, the Z-scheme type CdTe-Bi2S3 heterojunction was designed and synthesized as an ideal photoactive material, which exhibited higher PEC activity as compared with either CdTe quantum dots or Bi2S3 nanorods due to the improved photogenerated charges separation efficiency of heterojunction. Then the MC-LR aptamer was employed for selective recognition of MC-LR target, which was immobilized on the CdTe-Bi2S3 film by the formation of phosphor-amidate bonds between the phosphate group of aptamer and amino group of the chitosan film on the electrode. The proposed aptasensor showed a photocurrent signal due to the photoactive CdTe-Bi2S3 heterojunction, while the presence of MC-LR resulted in a dose-responsive decrease in PEC response, which allowed the quantification analysis of MC-LR by measuring the photocurrent signal of the fabricated aptasensor. Under optimal conditions, the resulted PEC aptasensor showed wide linear range (0.01-100 pM) and low detection limit (0.005 pM) for MC-LR dete...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
