Ultrasensitive sensing urinary cystatin C via an interface-engineered graphene extended-gate field-effect transistor for non-invasive diagnosis of chronic kidney disease. Biosens Bioelectron 2024; 249:116016. [PMID: 38217967 DOI: 10.1016/j.bios.2024.116016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/12/2023] [Revised: 12/25/2023] [Accepted: 01/07/2024] [Indexed: 01/15/2024]
Abstract
Early chronic kidney disease (CKD) has strong concealment and lacks an efficient, non-invasive, and lable-free detection platform. Cystatin C (Cys C) in urine is closely related to the progress of CKD (especially at the early stage), which is an ideal endogenous marker to evaluate the impairment of renal function. Thus, the accurate detection of urinary Cys C (u-Cys C) is great significant for early prevention and treatment and delaying the course of the disease of CKD patients. Herein, we developed an extended-gate field-effect transistor (EG-FET) sensor for ultrasensitive detection of u-Cys C, which consists of a monolithic interface-engineered graphene EG electrode array and a commercially available MOSFET. Laser-induced graphene (LIG) loaded with sputtered Au NPs in the presence of adhesive Cr (Au NPs/Cr/LIG) boosts the electrical performance of the EG electrode. Meanwhile, Au NPs also serve as linkers to immobilize papain that can selectively form protein complexes with Cys C. Supported by the synergistic effect of multilevel interface-engineered graphene, our sensor exhibits a good linear correlation within the u-Cys C concentration range of 5 ag/μL to 50 ng/μL with low detection limit of 0.05 ag/μL. Our work makes accurate, specific and rapid detection of u-Cys C feasible and promising for early screening for CKD.

Improving the Selectivity of the C-C Coupled Product Electrosynthesis by Using Molecularly Imprinted Polymer─An Enhanced Route from Phenol to Biphenol. ACS APPLIED MATERIALS & INTERFACES 2023; 15:49595-49610. [PMID: 37823554 PMCID: PMC10614056 DOI: 10.1021/acsami.3c09696] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/11/2023] [Accepted: 09/27/2023] [Indexed: 10/13/2023]
Abstract
We developed a procedure for selective 2,4-dimethylphenol, DMPh, direct electro-oxidation to 3,3',5,5'-tetramethyl-2,2'-biphenol, TMBh, a C-C coupled product. For that, we used an electrode coated with a product-selective molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP). The procedure is reasonably selective toward TMBh without requiring harmful additives or elevated temperatures. The TMBh product itself was used as a template for imprinting. We followed the template interaction with various functional monomers (FMs) using density functional theory (DFT) simulations to select optimal FM. On this basis, we used a prepolymerization complex of TMBh with carboxyl-containing FM at a 1:2 TMBh-to-FM molar ratio for MIP fabrication. The template-FM interaction was also followed by using different spectroscopic techniques. Then, we prepared the MIP on the electrode surface in the form of a thin film by the potentiodynamic electropolymerization of the chosen complex and extracted the template. Afterward, we characterized the fabricated films by using electrochemistry, FTIR spectroscopy, and AFM, elucidating their composition and morphology. Ultimately, the DMPh electro-oxidation was performed on the MIP film-coated electrode to obtain the desired TMBh product. The electrosynthesis selectivity was much higher at the electrode coated with MIP film in comparison with the reference nonimprinted polymer (NIP) film-coated or bare electrodes, reaching 39% under optimized conditions. MIP film thickness and electrosynthesis parameters significantly affected the electrosynthesis yield and selectivity. At thicker films, the yield was higher at the expense of selectivity, while the electrosynthesis potential increase enhanced the TMBh product yield. Computer simulations of the imprinted cavity interaction with the substrate molecule demonstrated that the MIP cavity promoted direct coupling of the substrate to form the desired TMBh product.

Thiourea derivatives acting as functional monomers of As(Ш) molecular imprinted polymers: A theoretical and experimental study on binding mechanisms. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2022; 430:128508.

Abstract
Thiourea derivatives are expected to be potential monomers of As(Ш) molecular imprinted polymers (MIPs) which are used to specifically recognize As(Ш). However, the specific recognition and binding mechanisms between template and monomers are unclear, which limits the practical applications of MIPs in As(Ш)detection. In this work, density functional theory (DFT) calculations, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and experimental methods were jointly applied to explore the binding interactions between H3AsO3 and thiourea derivatives and environmental factors influences, aiming to find out the best monomer and optimal preparation conditions for H3AsO3 MIPs. Among five monomer candidates, (2, 6-difluorophenyl) thiourea (FT) was calculated to be the most potential one, while allyl thiourea (AT) was the second choice. Configurations of the most stable binding complexes were found out. The optimal solvent was found to be toluene and the bindings were more favorable at pH 7.5 in aqueous solution. Besides, EGDMA was proved as the best cross-linker with the optimal ratio of template: monomer: cross-linker= 2:3:20. Moreover, the binding interactions were identified to be hydrogen bonds, and the non-covalent nature was revealed. These findings provide references for efficient design and preparation of good-performance H3AsO3 MIPs, which can be used to detect and remove As(Ш) from environment.

Abstract
Hollow peanut-shaped NiFe2O4/CoFe2O4 twinned nano-spherical shell composite materials have interconnected electron channels and excellent electrochemical performance, which prompted the use of this unique spatial structure to fabricate efficient electrochemical sensors. In this work, N-doped carbon dots (NCDs) incorporated into magnetic NiFe2O4/CoFe2O4 nanoparticle shell (NiFe2O4/CoFe2O4/NCDs) modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE) was applied to construct a dual-template molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) based electrochemistry sensor (NiFe2O4/CoFe2O4/NCDs/MIP/GCE) for the simultaneous detection of catechin (CA) and theophylline (TPH). MIP was fabricated by an in-situ electrochemical polymerization strategy based on the theoretical exploration and density functional theory (DFT) computer directional simulation to screen out the optimal functional monomer (L-arginine) and the optimal ratio between the dual template molecules (CA and TPH) and functional monomer. The materials were characterized by SEM, TEM, XRD, XPS, and TGA. Besides, electron binding energy, binding constant, and imprinting factor were investigated. With the optimal conditions, the proposed electrochemical dual detection system showed outstanding analytical performance for the simultaneous sensing of CA and TPH, with an ultralow detection limit (LOD, S/N = 3) of 1.3 nM for CA in 0.01-1 μM (R2 = 0.9956) and 1-50 μM (R2 = 0.9928), as well as a LOD of 20.0 nM for TPH in the linear range of 0.1-100 μM (R2 = 0.9939), respectively. Also, the selectivity and anti-interference performances of the fabricated sensor were performed by differential pulse voltammetry and chronoamperometry, and successfully detected the analyte from tea drinks and human urine samples with the recovery rates ranging from 98.22% to 104.76% and relative standard deviations (RSD) were 1.19%-3.81%, demonstrated the sensor has excellent stability, repeatability, and reproducibility, which paves the way for other platforms to use this nanomaterial for the detection of antioxidant in the filed food safety.

Abstract
Recent years have witnessed a dramatic increase in the use of theoretical and computational approaches in the study and development of molecular imprinting systems. These tools are being used to either improve understanding of the mechanisms underlying the function of molecular imprinting systems or for the design of new systems. Here, we present an overview of the literature describing the application of theoretical and computational techniques to the different stages of the molecular imprinting process (pre-polymerization mixture, polymerization process and ligand-molecularly imprinted polymer rebinding), along with an analysis of trends within and the current status of this aspect of the molecular imprinting field.

Abstract
Over the past several decades, photopolymerization has become an active research field, and the ongoing efforts to develop new photoinitiating systems are supported by the different applications in which this polymerization technique is involved-including dentistry, 3D and 4D printing, adhesives, and laser writing. In the search for new structures, bis-chalcones that combine two chalcones' moieties within a unique structure were determined as being promising photosensitizers to initiate both the free-radical polymerization of acrylates and the cationic polymerization of epoxides. In this review, an overview of the different bis-chalcones reported to date is provided. Parallel to the mechanistic investigations aiming at elucidating the polymerization mechanisms, bis-chalcones-based photoinitiating systems were used for different applications, which are detailed in this review.

Abstract
3,4-methylenedioxypyrovalerone (MDPV) is a harmful and controlled synthetic cathinone used as a psychostimulant drug and as sport-enhancing substance. A sensor was developed for the direct analysis of MDPV by transducing its oxidation signal by means of an electropolymerized molecularly imprinted polymer (e-MIP) built in-situ on the screen-printed carbon electrode's (SPCE) surface previously covered with multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). Benzene-1,2-diamine was used as the functional monomer while the analyte was used as the template monomer. Each step of the sensor's development was studied by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) in a solution containing ferricyanide, however no redox probe was required for the actual MDPV measurements. The interaction between the poly(o-phenylenediamine) imprinted polymer and MDPV was studied by density-functional theory (DFT) methods. The SPCE-MWCNT-AgNP-MIP sensor responded adequately to the variation of MDPV concentration. It was shown that AgNPs enhanced the electrochemical signal by around a 3-fold factor. Making use of square-wave voltammetry (SWV) the developed sensor provided a limit of detection (LOD) of 1.8 μmol L-1. The analytical performance of the proposed sensor paves the way to the development of a portable device for MDPV on-site sensing to be applied in forensic and doping analysis.
