An electronic DNAzyme sensor for highly sensitive detection of Pb(2+) is demonstrated by coupling the significant signal enhancement of the layer-by-layer (LBL) assembled quantum dots (QDs) with Pb(2+) specific DNAzymes. The presence of Pb(2+) cleaves the DNAzymes and releases the biotin-modified fragments, which further hybridize with the complementary strands immobilized on the gold substrate. The streptavidin-coated, QD LBL assembled nanocomposites were captured on the gold substrate through biotin-streptavidin interactions. Subsequent electrochemical signals of the captured QDs upon acid dissolution provide quantitative information on the concentrations of Pb(2+) with a dynamic range from 1 to 1000 nM. Due to the dramatic signal amplification by the numerous QDs, subnanomolar level (0.6 nM) of Pb(2+) can be detected. The proposed sensor also shows good selectivity against other divalent metal ions and thus holds great potential for the construction of general DNAzyme-based sensing platform for the monitoring of other heavy metal ions. 相似文献

A heavy metal ion sensor was constructed by cross-linking melanin onto the gold electrode of quartz crystal microbalance (QCM). A mercury ion sensitivity of 518+/-37 Hz/ppm was observed, a substantial increase in sensitivity compared to previous reports of 10-50 Hz/ppm with the limit of detection at 5 ppb. Detection of other metal ions including Sn(2+), Ge(4+), Li(+), Zn(2+), Cu(2+), Bi(3+), Co(2+), Al(3+), Ni(2+), Ag(+), and Fe(3+) were also performed. Unexpectedly, binding of Mn(7+), Pb(2+), Cd(2+), and Cr(3+) increased resonant frequencies. The surface profile of melanin thin film upon binding to metal ions was investigated by atomic force microscopy (AFM). Structural change of melanin upon binding to metal ions was characterized by circular dichroism and by infrared spectroscopy. The current study provides the first example of melanin-coated piezoelectric sensor showing high sensitivity and selectivity to metal ions. 相似文献

Cysteamine (CA)‐capped CdTe quantum dots (QDs) (CA–CdTe QDs) were prepared by the reflux method and utilized as an efficient nano‐sized fluorescent sensor to detect mercury (II) ions (Hg2+). Under optimum conditions, the fluorescence quenching effect of CA–CdTe QDs was linear at Hg2+ concentrations in the range of 6.0–450 nmol/L. The detection limit was calculated to be 4.0 nmol/L according to the 3σ IUPAC criteria. The influence of 10‐fold Pb2+, Cu2+ and Ag+ on the determination of Hg2+ was < 7% (superior to other reports based on crude QDs). Furthermore, the detection sensitivity and selectivity were much improved relative to a sensor based on the CA–CdTe QDs probe, which was prepared using a one‐pot synthetic method. This CA–CdTe QDs sensor system represents a new feasibility to improve the detection performance of a QDs sensor by changing the synthesis method. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

Assembly of dandelion-like Au/PANI nanocomposites and their application as SERS nanosensors 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The monodisperse, uniform dandelion-like Au/polyaniline (PANI) composite nanospheres were synthesized by a simple one-step process without any additives or templates. The nanospheres are really composed of many short nanorods and the average diameter of whole nanospheres is about 180 nm. The morphology of Au/PANI composites could be controlled by adjusting the molar ratio of HAuCl(4) to aniline. The prepared nanocomposite is developed as a wonderful sensor for the detection of Hg(2+) ions, which is based upon the Raman intensity response of PANI to Hg(2+) ions. Results from the morphology-dependent sensitivity investigations show that the dandelion-like nanospheres have an ultra sensitive response (as low as 10(-11)M) compared with other morphologies. The nanosensor also exhibits good reproducibility and greater selectivity for Hg(2+) ions than the other heavy metal ions. And the mechanism was proposed. The proposed nanosensors can be applied for highly sensitive and selective chemical analysis in a variety of environmental detection. 相似文献

In this study, we developed a novel simple fluorescence resonance‐energy transfer (FRET) system between two‐color CdTe quantum dots (QDs) assisted by cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB). Mercaptopropionic (MPA)‐capped CdTe QDs serving as both donors and acceptors were successfully synthesized by changing the refluxing time in aqueous solution. CTAB micelles formed in water and minimized the distance between the donors and acceptors significantly by electrostatic interactions, improving FRET efficiency. Several factors that affected the fluorescence spectra of the FRET system were investigated. The prepared FRET system was feasible as an effective fluorescent probe to detect Hg(II) in aqueous solution. At pH 7.0, a linear relationship between the quenched fluorescence intensity of orange‐emitting acceptors (QDs(A)) and Hg(II) concentration was acquired in the range 5–250 nmol/L with a detection limit of 1.95 nmol/L. The developed method showed excellent analytical performance for Hg(II) with high sensitivity and acceptable selectivity, reproducibility and stability. This finding indicated that the method has a promising potential application for environmental monitoring. This study demonstrated the great promise of QDs for expedient, low‐cost and high‐sensitivity detection of Hg(II). 相似文献

Green crab (Scylla serrata) alkaline phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.1) is a metalloenzyme, which catalyzes the nonspecific hydrolysis of phosphate monoesters. The present paper deals with the study of the effect of some kinds of metal ions on the enzyme. The positive monovalent alkali metal ions (Li(+), Na(+) and K(+)) have no effect on the enzyme; positive bivalent alkaline-earth metal ions (Mg(2+), Ca(2+) and Ba(2+)) and transition metal ions (Mn(2+), Co(2+), Ni(2+) and Cd(2+)) activate the enzyme; heavy metal ions (Hg(2+), Ag(+), Bi(2+), Cu(2+) and Zn(2+)) inhibit the enzyme. The activation of magnesium ion on the enzyme appears to be a partial noncompetitive type. The kinetic model has been set up and a new plot to determine the activation constant of Mg(2+) was put forward. From the plot, we can easily determine the activation constant (K(a)) value and the activation ratio of Mg(2+) on the enzyme. The inhibition effects of Cu(2+) and Hg(2+) on the enzyme are of noncompetitive type. The inhibition constants have been determined. The inhibition effect of Hg(2+) is stronger than that of Cu(2+). 相似文献

The nature and mechanism of the inhibition of the oxidoreductase activity of milk xanthine oxidase (XO) by Cu(2+), Hg(2+) and Ag(+) ions has been studied by steady state and stopped flow transient kinetic measurements. The results show that the nature of the inhibition is noncompetitive. The inhibition constants for Cu(2+) and Hg(2+) are in the micromolar and that for Ag(+) is in the nanomolar range. This suggests that the metal ions have strong affinity towards XO. pH dependence studies of the inhibition indicate that at least two ionisable groups of XO are involved in the binding of these metal ions. The effect of the interaction of the metal ions on the reductive and oxidative half reactions of XO has been investigated, and it is observed that the kinetic parameters of the reductive half reaction are not affected by these metal ions. However, the interaction of these metal ions with XO significantly affects the kinetic parameters of the oxidative half reaction. It is suggested that this may be the main cause for the inhibition of XO activity by the metal ions. 相似文献

A water-soluble 1,8-naphthalimide-based fluorescent chemosensor 1, bearing two acetic carboxylic moieties, exhibited high selectivity and sensitivity for recognition of Hg(2+) ion in water over other heavy and transition metal (HTM) ions with fluorescent enhancement. An increase in the fluorescent intensity at 562 nm was due to the formation of a 1:1 1-Hg(2+) inclusion complex. 相似文献

A novel ratiometric fluorescent peptidyl chemosensor (Dansyl-Cys-Pro-Gly-Cys-Trp-NH(2), D-P5) for metal ions detection has been synthesized via Fmoc solid-phase peptide synthesis. The chemosensor exhibited a high selectivity for Cd(2+) over other metal ions including competitive transition and Group I and II metal ions in neutral pH. The fluorescence emission intensity of D-P5 was significantly enhanced in the presence of Cd(2+) by fluorescent resonance energy transfer (FRET) and chelation enhanced fluorescence (CHEF) effects. The binding stoichiometry, detection limit, binding affinity, reversibility and pH sensitivity of the sensor for Cd(2+) were investigated. 相似文献

We describe a chip-based method to detect protein glycosylation based on the energy transfer between quantum dots (QDs) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). Our assay system relies on modulations in the energy transfer between the nanoparticles on a surface. The photoluminescence (PL) of lectin-coated QDs (energy donor) immobilized on a glass slide is quenched by carbohydrate-coated AuNPs (energy acceptor), and the presence of the glycoprotein causes the increase of the PL of QDs. As a proof-of-concept, Concanavalin A-coated QDs (ConA-QDs) and dextran-coated AuNPs (Dex-AuNPs) were used to detect the mannosylated proteins. As a result, the PL intensity of QDs was found to be linearly correlated with the concentration and the number of glycan moiety of the glycoprotein. We anticipated that our simple assay system will find applications for the analysis of glycoproteins with high selectivity and sensitivity in a high-throughput manner. 相似文献

A universal label-free metal ion sensor design strategy was developed on the basis of a metal ion-specific DNA/RNA-cleaving DNAzyme and a G-quadruplex DNAzyme. In this strategy, the substrate strand of the DNA/RNA-cleaving DNAzyme was designed as an intramolecular stem-loop structure, and a G-rich sequence was caged in the double-stranded stem and could not form catalytically active G-quadruplex DNAzyme. The metal ion-triggered cleavage of the substrate strand could result in the release of the G-rich sequence and subsequent formation of a catalytic G-quadruplex DNAzyme. The self-blocking mechanism of the G-quadruplex DNAzyme provided the sensing system with a low background signal. The signal amplifications of both the DNA/RNA-cleaving DNAzyme and the G-quadruplex DNAzyme provided the sensing system with a high level of sensitivity. This sensor design strategy can be used for metal ions with reported specific DNA/RNA-cleaving DNAzymes and extended for metal ions with unique properties. As examples, dual DNAzymes-based Cu(2+), Pb(2+) and Hg(2+) sensors were designed. These "turn-on" colorimetric sensors can simply detect Cu(2+), Pb(2+) and Hg(2+) with high levels of sensitivity and selectivity, with detection limits of 4nM, 14nM and 4nM, respectively. 相似文献

d ‐penicillamine‐capped cadmium telluride quantum dots (DPA‐capped CdTe QDs) were synthesized as the new fluorescent semiconductor nanocrystal in aqueous solution. Fourier transmission infrared spectroscopy, X‐ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, ultraviolet‐visible and photoluminescence spectroscopy were used for characterization of the QDs. Based on the quenching effect of Cu2+ ions on the fluorescence intensity of DPA‐capped CdTe QDs, a new fluorometric sensor for copper(II) detection was developed that showed good linearity over the concentration range 5 × 10–9–3 × 10–6 m with the detection limit 0.4 × 10–9 m . Owing to the strong affinity of the DPA to copper(II), the sensor showed appropriate selectivity for copper(II) compared with conventional QDs. The DPA‐capped CdTe QDs was successfully applied for determination of Cu2+ concentration in river, well and tap waters with satisfactory results. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

A "turn-on" photoelectrochemical sensor for Hg(2+) detection based on thymine-Hg(2+)-thymine interaction is presented by using a thymine-rich oligonucleotide film and a double-strand DNA intercalator, Ru(bpy)(2)(dppz)(2+) (bpy=2,2'-bipyridine, dppz=dipyrido[3,2-a:2',3'-c]phenazine) as the photocurrent signal reporter. The presence of Hg(2+) induces the formation of a double helical DNA structure which provides binding sites for Ru(bpy)(2)(dppz)(2+). The double helical structure was confirmed by circular dichroism and fluorescence measurements. Under the optimized conditions, a linear relationship between photocurrent and Hg(2+) concentration was obtained over the range of 0.1 nM to 10 nM Hg(2+), with a detection limit of 20 pM. Interference by 10 other metal ions was negligible. Analytical results of Hg(2+) spiked into tap water and lake water by the sensor were in good agreement with mass spectrometry data. With the advantages of high sensitivity and selectivity, simple sensor construction, low instrument cost and low sample volume, this method is potentially suitable for the on-site monitoring of Hg(2+) contamination. 相似文献

In this paper, a systematic investigation of the interaction of bovine serum albumin (BSA) with water‐soluble CdTe quantum dots (QDs) of two different sizes capped with carboxylic thiols is presented based on steady‐state and time‐resolved fluorescence measurements. Efficient Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) was observed to occur from BSA donor to CdTe acceptor as noted from reduction in the fluorescence of BSA and enhanced fluorescence from CdTe QDs. FRET parameters such as Förster distance, spectral overlap integral, FRET rate constant and efficiency were determined. The quenching of BSA fluorescence in aqueous solution observed in the presence of CdTe QDs infers that fluorescence resonance energy transfer is primarily responsible for the quenching phenomenon. Bimolecular quenching constant (kq) determined at different temperatures and the time‐resolved fluorescence data provide additional evidence for this. The binding stoichiometry and various thermodynamic parameters are evaluated by using the van ‘t Hoff equation. The analysis of the results suggests that the interaction between BSA and CdTe QDs is entropy driven and hydrophobic forces play a key role in the interaction. Binding of QDs significantly shortened the fluorescence lifetime of BSA which is one of the hallmarks of FRET. The effect of size of the QDs on the FRET parameters are discussed in the light of FRET parameters obtained. 相似文献

Water‐soluble CdS quantum dots (QDs) were prepared using mercaptoacetic acid (TGA) as the stabilizer in an aqueous system. A fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) system was constructed between water‐soluble CdS QDs (donor) and Eosin Y (acceptor). Several factors that impacted the fluorescence spectra of the FRET system, such as pH (3.05–10.10), concentration of Eosin Y (2–80 mg/L) and concentration of CdS QDs (2–80 mg/L), were investigated and refined. Donor‐to‐acceptor ratios, the energy transfer efficiency (E) and the distance (r) between CdS QDs and Eosin Y were obtained. The results showed that a FRET system could be established between water‐soluble CdS QDs and Eosin Y at pH 5.0; donor‐to‐acceptor ratios demonstrated a 1: 8 proportion of complexes; the energy transfer efficiency (E) and the distance (r) between the QDs and Eosin Y were 20.07% and 4.36 nm,respectively.

A sugar-aza-crown ether (SAC)-based fluorescent sensor 4 was prepared. It contains a pyrene as the fluorophore and its fluoroionophoric properties toward transition metal ions were investigated. Chemosensor 4 exhibits highly selective recognition toward Cu(2+) and Hg(2+) ions among a series of tested metal ions in methanol solution. The association constants for 4*Cu(2+) and 4*Hg(2+) in methanol solution were calculated to be 7.4×10(1)M(-1) and 4.4×10(3)M(-1), respectively. Chemosensor 4 formed complexes with the Cu(2+) or Hg(2+) ion at a 1:1 ligand-to-metal ratio with a detection limit of 1.3×10(-4)M Cu(2+) and 1.26×10(-5)MHg(2+), respectively. 相似文献

The inhibition of urease by heavy metal ions has been habitually ascribed to the reaction of the ions with enzyme thiol groups, resulting in the formation of mercaptides. To probe the modes of metal binding to the enzyme, in this work the reaction of mono- (Ag, Hg) and di- (Cu, Hg) valent metal ions with jack bean urease was studied. The enzyme was reacted with different concentrations of the metal ions for different periods of times, when its residual activity was assayed and thiol content titrated. The titration carried out with DTNB was done to examine the involvement of urease thiol groups in metal ion binding. The binding was further probed by reactivation of the metal ion-enzyme complexes with DTT, EDTA and dilution. The results are discussed in terms of the HSAB concept. In inhibiting urease the metal ions showed a common feature in that they inhibited the enzyme within a comparable micromolar range, and also in that their inhibition was multisite. By contrast, the main distinguishing feature in their action consisted of the involvement of enzyme thiol groups in the reaction. Hg (2+) and Hg2(2+) inhibition was found thoroughly governed by the reaction with the enzyme thiols, and the complete loss of enzyme activity involved all thiols available in the enzyme under non-denaturating conditions. In contrast, Ag+ and Cu2+ ions for the complete inactivation of the enzyme required 53 and 60% of thiols, respectively. Accordingly, Ag+ and Cu2+ binding to functional groups in urease other than thiols, i.e. N- and O-containing groups, cannot be excluded. Based on the reactivation experiments this seems particularly likely for Cu2+, whose concurrent binding to thiols and other groups might distort the architecture of the active site (the mechanism of which remains to be elucidated) resulting in the observed inhibitory effects. 相似文献

A microbial biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) sensor consisting of Serratia marcescens LSY 4 and an oxygen electrode was prepared for estimation of the biochemical oxygen demand. The response of the BOD sensor was insensitive to pH in the range of pH 6.0-8.0, and the baseline drift of the signal was nearly absent even in unbuffered aqueous solution. Because heavy metal ions were precipitated from the phosphate buffer solution, unbuffered solution was used to investigate the effect of the concentration of heavy metal ions on the sensor response. Contrary to previous studies, not only Cu2+ and Ag+ but also Cd2+ and Zn2+ significantly decreased the response of the BOD sensor in unbuffered solution. Graft polymerization of sodium styrene sulfonate on the surface of the porous teflon membrane was carried out to absorb the heavy metal ions permeating through the membrane. Tolerance against Zn2+ was induced for S. marcescens LSY 4 to make the cells less sensitive to the presence of heavy metal ions. The membrane modification and the Zn2+ tolerance induction showed some positive effects in such a way that they reduced the inhibitory effects of Zn2+ and Cd2+ on the sensitivity of the BOD sensor. However, they had no effect on the protection of the cells against the interference of Cu2+ and Ag+ on the performance of the sensor. 相似文献

The routing of fluorescent signals from NADH to quantum dots (QDs) has been a subject of extensive research for FRET based applications. In the present study, the spectral cross talk of NAD(+)/NADH with QDs was used to monitor the reaction of NAD(+)-dependent dehydrogenase enzyme. CdTe QD may undergo dipolar interaction with NADH as a result of broad spectral absorption due to multiple excitonic states resulting from quantum confinement effects. Thus, non-radiative energy transfer can take place from NADH to CdTe QD enhancing QDs fluorescence. Energy routing assay of NADH-QD was applied for detection of formaldehyde as a model analyte in the range 1000-0.01 ng/mL by the proposed technique. We observed proportionate quenching of CdTe QD fluorescence by NAD(+) and enhancement in the presence of NADH formed by various concentrations of enzyme (0.028-0.4 U). Hence, it was possible to detect formaldehyde in the range 1000-0.01 ng/mL with a limit of detection (LOD) at 0.01 ng/mL and regression coefficient R(2)=0.9982. Therefore, a unique optical sensor was developed for the detection of the formaldehyde in sensitive level based on the above mechanism. This method can be used to follow the activity of NAD(+)-dependent enzymes and detection of dehydrogenases in general. 相似文献

The method provides an innovative dual functional sensors for mercury (II) ions and hydrogen peroxide. The addition of H(2)O(2) to the mixture of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and Hg(2+) induced color changes of the solution within several seconds even at 2.0 nM Hg(2+). Other metallic ions could not induce color change even at 10 μM. Of importance, this probe was not only successfully applied to detect Hg(2+), but also it could be used to sense H(2)O(2) at a concentration as low as 50 nM (by naked-eye). The outstanding sensitivity and selectivity property for Hg(2+) and H(2)O(2) resulted from the AgNPs mediated reduction of Hg(2+) to elementary Hg in the presence of H(2)O(2), causing the aggregation and colorimetric response of AgNPs. This sensitive and selective colorimetric assay opens up a fresh insight of development facile and fast detection methods for metal ions and biomolecules using the special catalytic reactivity of AgNPs. 相似文献
