Rapid detection of Cd2+ ions in rice using DNAzyme gated graphene field-effect transistor.

Cadmium-contaminated rice poses a serious threat to public health, necessitating rapid screening methods. Unfortunately, traditional cadmium detection techniques are often cumbersome and expensive, making them unsuitable for on-site applications. In this study, we developed a graphene field-effect transistor (GFET) bio...

LNA-Modified DNAzyme Nanomachines Enable Physiological-Temperature Recognition of Double-Stranded DNA

Sequence-specific detection of double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) under physiological conditions remains challenging because the complementary strand is inaccessible to conventional oligonucleotide probes, often requiring thermal denaturation or protein-assisted strand separation. Here, we developed a binary DNAzyme (BiDz)...

A tetrahedral DNA nanostructure-based DNAzyme fluorescent nanoprobe for intracellular Mn2+ imaging.

Manganese (Mn) is an essential trace element in human body and acts as an enzyme cofactor, a neurotoxicant, and an activator of the cGAS-STING pathway. Monitoring intracellular Mn2+ is critical yet challenging due to its weak ligand-binding affinity and paramagnetic quenching effect. Here, we report a fluorescent nanop...

A programmable DNA circuit based on target recycling-assisted DNAzyme combined with elemental labeling ICP-MS for p21 mRNA detection.

The strand displacement reaction (SDR) has shown considerable potential in bioanalysis due to its enzyme-free nature, predictable base-pairing behavior and excellent programmability. Herein, we developed a programmable DNA circuit with SDR-mediated target recycling-assisted DNAzyme (TRDz) for dual signal amplification,...
