Nitrogen-Doped Graphdiyne as a Robust Electrochemical Biosensing Platform for Ultrasensitive Detection of Environmental Pollutants.

Analytical Chemistry
Kai NiuJiping Chen

Abstract

Owing to its unique chemical structure, natural pores, high structure defects, good surface hydrophilicity and biocompatibility, and favorable electrical conductivity, nitrogen-doped graphdiyne (NGDY) has been attracting attention in the application of electrochemical sensing. Taking advantage of these fascinating electrochemical properties, for the first time, two types of electrochemical enzymatic biosensors were fabricated for the respective detection of organophosphorus pesticides (OPs) and phenols based on the immobilization of acetylcholinesterase or tyrosinase with NGDY. Results revealed that the sensitivities of the NGDY-based enzymatic biosensors were almost twice higher than that of the matching biosensor in the absence of NGDY, proving that NGDY plays a vital role in immobilizing the enzymes and improving the performance of the fabricated biosensors. The effects of nitrogen doping on improving the biosensing performance were studied in depth. Graphitic N atoms can enhance the electrical conductivity, while imine N and pyridinic N can help to adsorb and accumulate the substance molecules to the electrode surface, all of which contribute to the significantly improved performance. Furthermore, these two types of biosens...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.
