Colorimetric Detection of Organophosphate Pesticides Based on Acetylcholinesterase and Cysteamine Capped Gold Nanoparticles as Nanozyme.

ABSTRACT: Organophosphates (OPs) are neurotoxic agents also used as pesticides that can permanently block the active site of the acetylcholinesterase (AChE). A robust and sensitive detection system of OPs utilising the enzyme mimic potential of the cysteamine capped gold nanoparticles (C-AuNPs) was developed. The detection assay was performed by stepwise addition of AChE, parathion ethyl (PE)-a candidate OP, acetylcholine chloride (ACh), C-AuNPs, and 3, 3', 5, 5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) in the buffer solution. The whole sensing protocol completes in 30-40 min, including both incubations. The Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) results indicated that the NPs are spherical and have an average size of 13.24 nm. The monomers of C-AuNPs exhibited intense catalytic activity (nanozyme) for the oxidization of TMB, revealed by the production of instant blue colour and confirmed by a sharp peak at 652 nm. The proposed biosensor's detection limit and linear ranges were 5.8 ng·mL^-1 and 11.6-92.8 ng·mL^-1, respectively, for PE. The results strongly advocate that the suggested facile colorimetric biosensor may provide an excellent platform for on-site monitoring of OPs.

TEMPO-Cellulose Nanocrystal-Capped Gold Nanoparticles for Colorimetric Detection of Pathogenic DNA.

Project description:Nanocellulose-assisted gold nanoparticles are considered promising materials for developing eco-friendly diagnostic tools for biosensing applications. In this study, we synthesized 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-1-piperidinyloxy (TEMPO)-oxidized cellulose nanocrystal (TEMPO-CNC)-capped gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) for the colorimetric detection of unamplified pathogenic DNA oligomers of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. The fabricated TEMPO-CNC-AuNPs (TC-AuNPs) were characterized using UV-visible spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, and dynamic light scattering. The average diameter of the synthesized AuNPs was approximately 30 nm. The aqueous solution of TC-AuNPs was stable and exhibited an absorption peak at 520 nm. The chemical interaction between TC-AuNPs and the surface charge of the target and non-target DNA determined the colorimetric differences under ionic conditions. A dramatic color change (red → blue) was observed in the TC-AuNP solution with the target DNA under ionic conditions due to the aggregation of AuNPs. However, no observable color change occurred in the TC-AuNP solution with the non-target DNA under similar conditions owing to the better shielding effects of the charged moieties. The colorimetric detection limit of the TC-AuNPs was demonstrated to be as low as 20 fM pathogenic DNA. Therefore, the use of TEMPO-oxidized CNC-capped AuNPs is efficient and straightforward as a biosensor for the colorimetric detection of pathogenic DNA.

Gold nanozyme-based paper chip for colorimetric detection of mercury ions.

Project description:In this study, we developed a facile gold nanozyme-based paper chip (AuNZ-PAD) for Hg2+ detection. This device has the advantages of being simple, rapid, cost effective, sensitive, selective, high throughput, and applicable to onsite detection. The colorimetric mercury assay on the AuNZ-PAD is established based on the enzyme-like catalytic activity of gold nanoparticles promoted by the formation of Au-Hg amalgam, which is correlated to the intensity of the colorimetric response resulting from the catalytic reaction of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) and H2O2. Highly sensitive and selective detection of Hg2+ ions is achieved in both distilled and tap water samples, indicating the feasibility and applicability of our device for the determination of mercury pollution in real samples. Moreover, AuNZ-PAD analysis using a smartphone camera eliminates the need for expensive analytical equipment, thereby increasing the practicality of field monitoring of trace Hg2+ compared with other sensing methods.

Chitosan-capped gold nanoparticles for selective and colorimetric sensing of heparin.

Project description:In this contribution, novel chitosan-stabilized gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were prepared by mixing chitosan with citrate-reductive AuNPs under appropriate conditions. The as-prepared chitosan-stabilized AuNPs were positively charged and highly stably dispersed in aqueous solution. They exhibited weak resonance light scattering (RLS) intensity and a wine red color. In addition, the chitosan-stabilized AuNPs were successfully utilized as novel sensitive probes for the detection of heparin for the first time. It was found that the addition of heparin induced a strong increase of RLS intensity for AuNPs and the color change from red to blue. The increase in RLS intensity and the color change of chitosan-stabilized AuNPs caused by heparin allowed the sensitive detection of heparin in the range of 0.2-60 ?M (~6.7 U/mL). The detection limit for heparin is 0.8 ?M at a signal-to-noise ratio of 3. The present sensor for heparin detection possessed a low detection limit and wide linear range. Additionally, the proposed method was also applied to the detection of heparin in biological media with satisfactory results.

Enhancement of the Peroxidase-Like Activity of Iodine-Capped Gold Nanoparticles for the Colorimetric Detection of Biothiols.

Project description:A colorimetric assay was developed for the detection of biothiols, based on the peroxidase-like activity of iodine-capped gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). These AuNPs show a synergetic effect in the form of peroxidase-mimicking activity at the interface of AuNPs, while free AuNPs and iodine alone have weak catalytic properties. Thus, iodine-capped AuNPs possess good intrinsic enzymatic activity and trigger the oxidation of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB), leading to a change in color from colorless to yellow. When added to solution, biothiols, such as cysteine, strongly bind to the interface of AuNPs via gold-thiol bonds, inhibiting the catalytic activity of AuNPs, resulting in a decrease in oxidized TMB. Using this strategy, cysteine could be linearly determined, at a wide range of concentrations (0.5 to 20 ?M), with a detection limit of 0.5 ?M using UV-Vis spectroscopy. This method was applied for the detection of cysteine in diluted human urine.

DNA-Gold Nanozyme-Modified Paper Device for Enhanced Colorimetric Detection of Mercury Ions.

Project description:In this work, a paper device consisted of a patterned paper chip, wicking pads, and a base was fabricated. On the paper chip, DNA-gold nanoparticles (DNA-AuNPs) were deposited and Hg2+ ions could be adsorbed by the DNA-AuNPs. The formed DNA-AuNP/Hg2+ nanozyme could catalyze the tetramethylbenzidine (TMB)-H2O2 chromogenic reaction. Due to the wicking pads, a larger volume of Hg2+ sample could be applied to the paper device for Hg2+ detection and therefore the color response could be enhanced. The paper device achieved a cut-off value of 50 nM by the naked eye for Hg2+ under optimized conditions. Moreover, quantitative measurements could be implemented by using a desktop scanner and extracting grayscale values. A linear range of 50-2000 nM Hg2+ was obtained with a detection limit of 10 nM. In addition, the paper device could be applied in the detection of environmental water samples with high recoveries ranging from 85.7% to 105.6%. The paper-device-based colorimetric detection was low-cost, simple, and demonstrated high potential in real-sample applications.

Acetylcholinesterase electrochemical biosensors with graphene-transition metal carbides nanocomposites modified for detection of organophosphate pesticides.

Project description:An acetylcholinesterase biosensor modified with graphene and transition metal carbides was prepared to detect organophosphorus pesticides. Cyclic voltammetry, differential pulse voltammetry, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy were used to characterize the electrochemical catalysis of the biosensor: acetylcholinesterase/chitosan-transition metal carbides/graphene/glassy carbon electrode. With the joint modification of graphene and transition metal carbides, the biosensor has a good performance in detecting dichlorvos with a linear relationship from 11.31 ?M to 22.6 nM and the limit of detection was 14.45 nM. Under the premise of parameter optimization, the biosensor showed a good catalytic performance for acetylcholine. Compared to the biosensors without modification, it expressed a better catalytic performance due to the excellent electrical properties, biocompatibility and high specific surface area of graphene, transition metal carbides. Finally, the biosensor exhibits good stability, which can be stored at room temperature for one month without significant performance degradation, and has practical potential for sample testing.

A sensitive bio-barcode immunoassay based on bimetallic Au@Pt nanozyme for detection of organophosphate pesticides in various agro-products.

Project description:Organophosphate pesticides (OPs) are often used as insecticides and acaricides in agriculture, thus improving yields. OP residues may pose a serious threat, duetoinhibitionof the enzymeacetylcholinesterase(AChE). Therefore, a competitive bio-barcode immunoassay was designed for simultaneous quantification of organophosphate pesticide residues using AuNP signal amplification technology and Au@Pt catalysis. The AuNP probes were labelled with antibodies and corresponding bio-barcodes (ssDNAs), MNP probes coated with ovalbumin pesticide haptens and Au@Pt probes functionalized with the complementary ssDNAs were then prepared. Subsequently, pesticides competed with MNP probes to bind the AuNP probes. The recoveries of the developed assay were ranged from 71.26 to 117.47% with RSDs from 2.52 to 14.52%. The LODs were 9.88, 3.91, and 1.47 ng·kg-1, for parathion, triazophos, and chlorpyrifos, respectively. The assay was closely correlated with the data obtained from LC-MS/MS. Therefore, the developed method has the potential to be used as an alternative approach for detection of multiple pesticides.

Organophosphate Hydrolase in Conductometric Biosensor for the Detection of Organophosphate Pesticides.

Project description:The research has developed an enzyme biosensor for the detection organophosphate pesticide residues. The biosensor consists of a pair of screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCEs). One of electrodes contains immobilized organophosphate hydrolase (OPH) on a chitosan membrane by cross-linking it with glutaraldehyde. The area of the electrodes was optimized to 3, 5, and 7 mm(2). The OPH was isolated from Pseudomonas putida, and was purified by the ammonium sulfate precipitation method, with 6444 ppm (A) and 7865 ppm (B). The organophosphate pesticide samples were 0-100 ppb in tris-acetate buffer 0.05 M, pH 8.5. The results showed that the best performance of the biosensor was achieved by the enzyme A with an electrode area of 5 mm(2). The sensitivity of the biosensor was between 3 and 32 µS/ppb, and the detection limit for the organophosphate pesticides was 40 ppb (diazinon), 30 ppb (malathion), 20 ppb (chlorpyrifos), and 40 ppm (profenofos).

Nanoparticle-based electrochemical immunosensor for the detection of phosphorylated acetylcholinesterase: an exposure biomarker of organophosphate pesticides and nerve agents.

Project description:A nanoparticle-based electrochemical immunosensor has been developed for the detection of phosphorylated acetylcholinesterase (AChE), which is a potential biomarker of exposure to organophosphate (OP) pesticides and chemical warfare nerve agents. Zirconia nanoparticles (ZrO(2) NPs) were used as selective sorbents to capture the phosphorylated AChE adduct, and quantum dots (ZnS@CdS, QDs) were used as tags to label monoclonal anti-AChE antibody to quantify the immunorecognition events. The sandwich-like immunoreactions were performed among the ZrO(2) NPs, which were pre-coated on a screen printed electrode (SPE) by electrodeposition, phosphorylated AChE and QD-anti-AChE. The captured QD tags were determined on the SPE by electrochemical stripping analysis of its metallic component (cadmium) after an acid-dissolution step. Paraoxon was used as the model OP insecticide to prepare the phosphorylated AChE adducts to demonstrate proof of principle for the sensor. The phosphorylated AChE adduct was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and mass spectroscopy. The binding affinity of anti-AChE to the phosphorylated AChE was validated with an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The parameters (e.g., amount of ZrO(2) NP, QD-anti-AChE concentration,) that govern the electrochemical response of immunosensors were optimized. The voltammetric response of the immunosensor is highly linear over the range of 10 pM to 4 nM phosphorylated AChE, and the limit of detection is estimated to be 8.0 pM. The immunosensor also successfully detected phosphorylated AChE in human plasma. This new nanoparticle-based electrochemical immunosensor provides an opportunity to develop field-deployable, sensitive, and quantitative biosensors for monitoring exposure to a variety of OP pesticides and nerve agents.
