Potentiometric biosensing of proteins with ultrasensitive ion-selective microelectrodes and nanoparticle labels.

ABSTRACT: We report here for the first time on the use of potentiometry for ultrasensitive nanoparticle-based detection of protein interactions. A silver ion-selective microelectrode is used to detect silver ions oxidatively released from silver enlarged gold nanoparticle labels in a sandwich immunoassay. Since potentiometry is expected to largely maintain its analytical characteristics upon reducing the sample volume, it is anticipated that this approach may form the basis for bioassays with attractive detection limits.

Dual Sensitivity─Potentiometric and Fluorimetric─Ion-Selective Membranes.

Project description:Classical application of ion-selective membranes is limited to either electrochemical or optical experiments. Herein, the proposed ion-selective membrane system can be used in both modes; each of them offering competitive analytical parameters: high selectivity and linear dependence of the signal on logarithm of analyte concentration, high potential stability in potentiometric mode, or applicability for alkaline solutions in optical mode. Incorporation of analyte ions into the membrane results in potentiometric signals, as in a classical system. However, due to the presence of lipophilic positively charged ions, polymer backbones, full saturation of the membrane is prevented even for long contact time with solution. The presence of both positively charged and neutral forms of conducting polymers in the membrane results in high stability of potential readings in time. Optical signal generation is based on polythiophene particulates dispersed within the ion-selective membrane as the optical transducer. An increase of emission is observed with an increase of analyte contents in the sample.

Dye-Labeled Polyacryloyl Hydrazide-Ag Nanoparticle Fluorescent Probe for Ultrasensitive and Selective Detection of Au Ion.

Project description:The efficiency of a fluorescence sensing device based on metal-enhanced fluorescence (MEF) is dependent on the optimization of interaction between the fluorophore and the metal nanoparticle (NP). Herewith, ultrasensitive and selective turn-on sensing of Au3+ is achieved by using a suitable combination of fluorophore and metal NP system through sequential MEF effect. Dansyl hydrazide-tagged Ag NPs in the polyacryloyl hydrazide cavity are utilized to sense the picomolar concentration of Au3+ in aqueous media. We demonstrated that the selective Au3+ sensing is due to the selective deposition of Au on the Ag NP surface over the 16 other metal ions studied. The sensitivity is assigned to the strong overlapping of the emission band of the fluorophore with the surface plasmon band of the Au and improvement of fluorescence signal through successive MEF by Ag and Au colloids. The sensing is associated with a fivefold increase in fluorescence intensity and appearance of violet color of the solution. These luminescent Ag-Au bimetallic NPs may be utilized to trace cancer cells in biological systems and for cell imaging applications.

Ultrasensitive DNA microarray biosensing via in situ RNA transcription-based amplification and nanoparticle-enhanced SPR imaging.

Project description:DNA microarrays are invaluable tools for the detection and identification of nucleic acids in biosensing applications. The sensitivity and selectivity of multiplexed single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) surface bioaffinity sensing can be greatly enhanced when coupled to a surface enzymatic reaction. Herein we describe a novel method where the specific sequence-dependent adsorption of a target ssDNA template molecule onto an ssDNA-modified gold microarray is followed with the generation of multiple copies of ssRNA via in situ surface transcription by RNA polymerase. The RNA created on this "generator" element is then detected by specific adsorption onto a second adjacent "detector" element of ssDNA that is complementary to one end of the ssRNA transcript. SPR imaging is then used to detect the subsequent hybridization of cDNA-coated gold nanoparticles with the surface-bound RNA. This RNA transcription-based, dual element amplification method is used to detect ssDNA down to a concentration of 1 fM in a volume of 25 ?L (25 zeptomoles).

Potentiometric Solid-Contact Ion-Selective Electrode for Determination of Thiocyanate in Human Saliva.

Project description:A new solid-contact potentiometric ion-selective electrode for the determination of SCN- (SCN-ISE) has been described. Synthesized phosphonium derivative of calix[4]arene was used as a charged ionophore. The research included selection of the ion-selective membrane composition, determination of the ISEs metrological parameters and SCN-ISE application for thiocyanate determination in human saliva. Preparation of the ISEs included selection of a plasticizer for the ion-selective membrane composition and type of the electrode material. The study was carried out using ISE with liquid internal electrolyte (LE-ISE) and solid-contact electrodes made of glassy carbon (GC-ISE) and gold rods (Au-ISE). The best parameters were found for GC sensors for which the ion-selective membrane contained chloroparaffin as a plasticizer (S = 59.9 mV/dec, LOD = 1.6 ´ 10-6 M). The study of potentiometric selectivity coefficients has shown that the thiocyanate-selective sensor could be applied in biomedical research for determination of SCN- concentration in human saliva. The accuracy of the SCN- determination was verified by testing 59 samples of volunteers' saliva by potentiometric sensors and UV-Vis spectrophotometry as a reference technique. Moreover, SCN- concentrations in the smokers' and non-smokers' saliva were compared. In order to investigate the influence of various factors (sex, health status, taken medications) on the thiocyanate level in the saliva, more extensive studies on a group of 100 volunteers were carried out. Additionally, for a group of 18 volunteers, individual profiles of SCN- concentration in saliva measured on a daily basis for over a month were collected.

Nano metamaterials for ultrasensitive Terahertz biosensing.

Project description:As a candidate for a rapid detection of biomaterials, terahertz (THz) spectroscopy system can be considered with some advantage in non-destructive, label-free, and non-contact manner. Because protein-ligand binding energy is in the THz range, especially, most important conformational information in molecular interactions can be captured by THz electromagnetic wave. Based on the THz time-domain spectroscopy system, THz nano-metamaterial sensing chips were prepared for great enhancing of detection sensitivity. A metamaterial sensing chip was designed for increasing of absorption cross section of the target sample, related to the transmitted THz near field enhancement via the composition of metamaterial. The measured THz optical properties were then analyzed in terms of refractive index and absorption coefficient, and compared with simulation results. Also, virus quantification regarding various concentrations of the viruses was performed, showing a clear linearity. The proposed sensitive and selective THz detection method can provide abundant information of detected biomaterials to help deep understanding of fundamental optical characteristics of them, suggesting rapid diagnosis way especially useful for such dangerous and time-sensitive target biomaterials.

Solid-Contact Potentiometric Anion Sensing Based on Classic Silver/Silver Insoluble Salts Electrodes without Ion-Selective Membrane.

Project description:Current solid potentiometric ion sensors mostly rely on polymeric-membrane-based, solid-contact, ion-selective electrodes (SC-ISEs). However, anion sensing has been a challenge with respect to cations due to the rareness of anion ionophores. Classic metal/metal insoluble salt electrodes (such as Ag/AgCl) without an ion-selective membrane (ISM) offer an alternative. In this work, we first compared the two types of SC-ISEs of Cl- with/without the ISM. It is found that the ISM-free Ag/AgCl electrode discloses a comparable selectivity regarding organic chloride ionophores. Additionally, the electrode exhibits better comprehensive performances (stability, reproducibility, and anti-interference ability) than the ISM-based SC-ISE. In addition to Cl-, other Ag/AgX electrodes also work toward single and multi-valent anions sensing. Finally, a flexible Cl- sensor was fabricated for on-body monitoring the concentration of sweat Cl- to illustrate a proof-of-concept application in wearable anion sensors. This work re-emphasizes the ISM-free SC-ISEs for solid anion sensing.

Polystyrene nanoparticle exposure induces ion-selective pores in lipid bilayers.

Project description:A diverse range of molecular interactions can occur between engineered nanomaterials (ENM) and biomembranes, some of which could lead to toxic outcomes following human exposure to ENM. In this study, we adapted electrophysiology methods to investigate the ability of 20nm polystyrene nanoparticles (PNP) to induce pores in model bilayer lipid membranes (BLM) that mimic biomembranes. PNP charge was varied using PNP decorated with either positive (amidine) groups or negative (carboxyl) groups, and BLM charge was varied using dioleoyl phospholipids having cationic (ethylphosphocholine), zwitterionic (phosphocholine), or anionic (phosphatidic acid) headgroups. Both positive and negative PNP induced BLM pores for all lipid compositions studied, as evidenced by current spikes and integral conductance. Stable PNP-induced pores exhibited ion selectivity, with the highest selectivity for K(+) (PK/PCl~8.3) observed when both the PNP and lipids were negatively charged, and the highest selectivity for Cl(-) (PK/PCl~0.2) observed when both the PNP and lipids were positively charged. This trend is consistent with the finding that selectivity for an ion in channel proteins is imparted by oppositely charged functional groups within the channel's filter region. The PK/PCl value was unaffected by the voltage-ramp method, the pore conductance, or the side of the BLM to which the PNP were applied. These results demonstrate for the first time that PNP can induce ion-selective pores in BLM, and that the degree of ion selectivity is influenced synergistically by the charges of both the lipid headgroups and functional groups on the PNP.

Surface Enzyme Chemistries for Ultrasensitive Microarray Biosensing with SPR Imaging.

Project description:The sensitivity and selectivity of surface plasmon resonance imaging (SPRI) biosensing with nucleic acid microarrays can be greatly enhanced by exploiting various nucleic acid ligases, nucleases, and polymerases that manipulate the surface-bound DNA and RNA. We describe here various examples from each of these different classes of surface enzyme chemistries that have been incorporated into novel detection strategies that either drastically enhance the sensitivity of or create uniquely selective methods for the SPRI biosensing of proteins and nucleic acids. A dual-element generator-detector microarray approach that couples a bioaffinity adsorption event on one microarray element to nanoparticle-enhanced SPRI measurements of nucleic acid hybridization adsorption on a different microarray element is used to quantitatively detect DNA, RNA, and proteins at femtomolar concentrations. Additionally, this dual-element format can be combined with the transcription and translation of RNA from surface-bound double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) templates for the on-chip multiplexed biosynthesis of aptamer and protein microarrays in a microfluidic format; these microarrays can be immediately used for real-time SPRI bioaffinity sensing measurements.

Collagen-Gold Nanoparticle Conjugates for Versatile Biosensing.

Project description:Integration of noble metal nanoparticles with proteins offers promising potential to create a wide variety of biosensors that possess both improved selectivity and versatility. The multitude of functionalities that proteins offer coupled with the unique optical properties of noble metal nanoparticles can allow for the realization of simple, colorimetric sensors for a significantly larger range of targets. Herein, we integrate the structural protein collagen with 10 nm gold nanoparticles to develop a protein-nanoparticle conjugate which possess the functionality of the protein with the desired colorimetric properties of the nanoparticles. Applying the many interactions that collagen undergoes in the extracellular matrix, we are able to selectively detect both glucose and heparin with the same collagen-nanoparticle conjugate. Glucose is directly detected through the cross-linking of the collagen fibrils, which brings the attached nanoparticles into closer proximity, leading to a red-shift in the LSPR frequency. Conversely, heparin is detected through a competition assay in which heparin-gold nanoparticles are added to solution and compete with heparin in the solution for the binding sites on the collagen fibrils. The collagen-nanoparticle conjugates are shown to detect both glucose and heparin in the physiological range. Lastly, glucose is selectively detected in 50% mouse serum with the collagen-nanoparticle devices possessing a linear range of 3-25 mM, which is also within the physiologically relevant range.
