Abstract
Peptidomimetic and anti-immunocomplex peptides can be easily isolated from phage display libraries, and can be used as alternatives to chemical competing haptens to improve the sensitivity of small molecule immunoassay. In this work, 16 peptidomimetics and 7 anti-immunocomplex peptides of pendimethalin (PND) were obtained from cyclic 7-, 8-, 9-, and 10-residue peptide phage libraries. Peptidomimetic EJ-2 (CMFTGTDFPC) with the highest sensitivity in competitive phage enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and immunocomplex peptide EF-30 (CNPGWPPIPC) with the highest sensitivity in noncompetitive phage ELISA were selected to prepare phage-free peptides with GGGSSK-biotin at the C-terminus. Competitive and noncompetitive lateral flow immunoassays (CLFIA and NLFIA) were developed by using the phage-free peptides. After optimization, the CLFIA and NLFIA showed visual limit of detections (vLODs) of 5 ng/mL and 2.5 ng/mL, respectively, which were improved two- and fourfold compared with a LFIA based on chemical hapten. The NLFIA showed better sensitivity than CLFIA in the detection of spiked samples, and can meet the detection requirements for agro-products regulated by EU and China. The detection results of CLFIA and NLFIA for blind samples were consistent with that of ultra performance liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry.

Abstract
Mycotoxins pose significant risks to humans and livestock. In addition, contaminated food- and feedstuffs can only be discarded, leading to increased economic losses and potential ecological pollution. Mycotoxin removal and real-time toxin level monitoring are effective approaches to solve this problem. As a hot research hotspot, small peptides derived from phage display peptide libraries, combinatorial peptide libraries, and rational design approaches can act as coating antigens, competitive antigens, and anti-immune complexes in immunoassays for the detection of mycotoxins. Furthermore, as a potential approach to mycotoxin degradation, small peptides can mimic the natural enzyme catalytic site to construct artificial enzymes containing oxidoreductases, hydrolase, and lyase activities. In summary, with the advantages of mature synthesis protocols, diverse structures, and excellent biocompatibility, also sharing their chemical structure with natural proteins, small peptides are widely used for mycotoxin detection and artificial enzyme construction, which have promising applications in mycotoxin degradation. This paper mainly reviews the advances of small peptides in the detection of mycotoxins, the construction of peptide-based artificial enzymes, and their potential applications in mycotoxin control.

Abstract
As the most widely used neonicotinoid insecticide, it is of great significance to explore the immunoreagents and immunoassays for imidacloprid (IMI) residue. In immunoassays, specific peptide ligands, such as peptidomimetic and anti-immunocomplex peptides, are regarded as promising substitutes for chemical haptens. In the present work, we identified thirty sequences of peptidomimetics and two sequences of anti-immunocomplex peptides for IMI from three phage pVIII display cyclic peptide libraries, in which the anti-immunocomplex peptides are the first reported noncompetitive reagents for IMI. The peptidomimetic 1-9-H and anti-immunocomplex peptide 2-1-H that showed the best sensitivity were utilized to develop competitive and noncompetitive phage enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (P-ELISAs), with a half inhibition concentration of 0.55 ng/mL for competitive P-ELISA and a half-saturation concentration of 0.35 ng/mL for noncompetitive P-ELISA. The anti-immunocomplex peptide was demonstrated to greatly improve the specificity compared with competitive P-ELISA. In addition, the accuracy of proposed P-ELISAs was confirmed by recovery analysis and HPLC verification in agricultural and environmental samples. These results show that the peptide ligands identified from phage display library can replace chemical haptens in the immunoassays of IMI with the satisfactory performance.

Abstract
In this study, an ultrasensitive monoclonal antibody (mAb) was produced and used to develop a gold nanoparticle-based lateral flow immunochromatographic (ICA) strip for screening of clomazone (CLO) in potato and pumpkin samples. With assayed by indirect competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ic-ELISA) method, the mAb belonging of IgG2 subclass showed a half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of 3.47 ng/mL and a linear range of detection of 0.43-28.09 ng/mL. A cross-reactivity test revealed that the mAb had good specificity for CLO. The strip assay had a visual limit of detection (LOD) of 5 µg/kg and a cut-off value of 50 µg/kg for CLO pumpkin samples (potato samples was 100 µg/kg) when evaluated with the naked eye. The results were consistent with ic-ELISA and high performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS). Thus, this ICA strip assay represents a potentially tool for on-site and rapid initial detection of CLO in potato and pumpkin samples.

Abstract
Organophosphorus pesticides (OPs) are widely used in agriculture and the monitoring of their residues is very important to protect human health. Immunoassays are important tools for the analysis of small molecules. Generally, noncompetitive mode of immunoassay is considered to be more sensitive than competitive mode. In this study, peptides that can identify immunocomplex of OPs were screened from a phage display library. Subsequently, a second-generation peptide library was constructed and peptides with better performance were isolated. Then, a rapid and sensitive noncompetitive magnetic-phage anti-immunocomplex assay (MPHAIA) for OPs was developed based on the best phage-peptide and single chain antibody immunomagnetic beads. The MPHAIA showed broad specificity for OPs with a thiophosphate group. The half-saturated concentration (SC50) values and limits of detection (LODs) of MPHAIA to 12 OPs were ranged from 15.04 to 105.48 ng/mL and 4.07-14.19 ng/mL, respectively. The accuracy and reliability of MPHAIA were verified by gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS) parallel analysis of six kinds of OPs in spiked cucumber samples. The recovery rates were in range of 81.2-116.3% with coefficient of variation from 4.1% to 14.1%, which were consistent with the results of GC-MS/MS.

Abstract
Clothianidin is a widely used pesticide that has been banned from outdoor use by the European Union due to its toxicity. To improve the sensitivity and specificity of existing clothianidin immunoassays, we developed competitive and noncompetitive immunoassays for clothianidin based on phage-displayed peptides. Cyclic 8-, 9-, and 10-residue peptide libraries were constructed using an optimized phagemid pComb-pVIII to prevent the loss of theoretical library diversity. Twenty-eight peptidomimetics and two anti-immunocomplex peptides were isolated through a blended panning process and used to develop competitive and noncompetitive phage enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (P-ELISAs), respectively. After optimization, the half inhibition concentration (IC50) and half saturation concentration (SC50) of competitive and noncompetitive P-ELISAs were 3.83 ± 0.23 and 0.45 ± 0.02 ng/mL, respectively. Competitive P-ELISA showed 2.6-18.2% cross-reactivity with imidaclothiz, nitenpyram and imidacloprid. Importantly, noncompetitive P-ELISA, which has the best specificity and great sensitivity for clothianidin, showed no cross-reactivity with the analogs. The average recoveries of competitive and noncompetitive P-ELISAs were 73.8-104.1% and 76.6-102.2%, respectively, while the relative standard deviations were ≤ 11.0%. In addition, the results of P-ELISAs in the analysis of blind samples were consistent with those of high-performance liquid chromatography.

Competitive and noncompetitive fluorescence polarization immunoassays for the detection of benzothiostrobin using FITC-labeled dendrimer-like peptides. Food Chem 2021; 360:130020.

Abstract
Peptides obtained from phage display libraries are valuable reagents for small-molecule immunoassays. However, their application in fluorescence polarization immunoassays (FPIAs) is limited by phage particles. Here, monomer, dendrimer-like dimer, tetramer peptidomimetic and anti-immunocomplex tracers were designed and synthesized using lysine as special scaffolds and spacers to develop competitive and noncompetitive FPIAs for benzothiostrobin. The affinity between tracers and monoclonal antibodies or immunocomplexes increased with the tracer valence. A higher signal-to-noise ratio and sensitivity could be generated in the FPIAs based on tetramer tracers. The sensitivities of competitive (50% inhibitory concentration) and noncompetitive (50% saturation concentration) FPIAs were 19.71 ± 4.65 and 40.43 ± 2.73 ng mL-1, respectively. The spiked recoveries were 78.3%-105.2% with relative standard deviations (RSDs) of 0.7%-15.4% for the competitive FPIA, while 78.7%-115.3% with RSDs of 0.7%-12.5% for the noncompetitive FPIA. The amounts of benzothiostrobin in rice detected by the FPIAs were consistent with those detected by high performance liquid chromatography.

Abstract
Ethyl carbamate is a group of 2A carcinogen ubiquitously existed in fermented foods. The monitoring of its residues was important for evaluating the potential risk to human beings. Immunoassays with good accuracy and simplicity are great analytical tools for small molecule contaminants. However, it is typically confined in a competitive mode for small molecules with drawback of the sensitivity curbing. In this work, three different phages displayed peptides with capability of identifying the xanthyl ethyl carbamate immunocomplex were isolated from phage library. The binding mechanism of peptides and immunocomplex was studied by computer-assisted simulation. Results indicated that the xanthydrol group of xanthyl ethyl carbamate and the Asn-32 and Asn-92 residues of the antibody light chain were mainly responsible for binding. Simultaneously, a sensitive non-competitive immunoassay for detecting ethyl carbamate in wine samples was developed. The established method exhibited a limit of detection of 5.4 ng/mL and a linear range from 8.7 ng/mL to 32 ng/mL for wine samples. In comparison with the conventional competitive immunoassay, the sensitivity of the proposed non-competitive immunoassay was improved by 17-fold. The results of the immunoassay were validated by a standard ultra-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole/orbitrap high-resolution mass spectrometry, which illustrated good reliability of the proposed assay.

Abstract
Toxic small molecule contaminants (SMCs) residues in food threaten human health. Immunoassays are popular and simple techniques for SMCs analysis. However, immunoassays based on polyclonal antibodies, monoclonal antibodies and chemosynthetic antigens have some defects, such as complicated preparation of antibodies, risk of toxic haptens using for antigen chemosynthesis and so on. Phage-display technique has been proven to be an attractive alternative approach to producing antibody and antigen substitutes of SMCs, and opened up new realms for developing immunoassays of SMCs. These substitutes contain five types, including anti-idiotypic recombinant antibody (AIdA), anti-immune complex peptide (AIcP), anti-immune complex recombinant antibody (AIcA) and anti-SMC recombinant antibody (anti-SMC RAb). In this review, the principle of immunoassays based on the five types of substitutes, as well as their application and advantages are summarized and discussed.

Abstract
Peptides isolated from phage display libraries are powerful reagents for small-molecule immunoassay; however, their application as phage-borne peptides is significantly limited by the biological nature of the phage. Here, we present the use of lysine scaffold to prepare a series of different valence peptides to serve as replacements for phage-borne peptides. Benzothiostrobin was selected as a model analyte, the cyclic benzothiostrobin-peptidomimetic in the form of monomer, dendrimer-like dimer, and tetramer were designed and synthesized. Compared with the monomer, the affinity of dendrimer-like dimer and tetramer increased 1.87 and 13.6 times, respectively, as determined by isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC). A novel inner filter effect immunoassay (IFE-IA) with positive readout was developed for benzothiostrobin detection utilizing the peptidomimetics attached to upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) as energy donor and monoclonal antibody (mAb)-labeled urchin-like gold nanoflowers (AuNFs) as energy absorber, respectively. The sensitivity of the assay based on dendrimer-like tetramer was approximately 6 and 3 times higher than monomer and dendrimer-like dimer, respectively. After optimization, 50% saturation of the signal (SC50) and detection range (SC10 to SC90) of the IFE-IA based on dendrimer-like tetramer were 11.81 ng mL-1 and 2.04-106.17 ng mL-1, respectively. The IFE-IA also shows good accuracy for the detection of benzothiostrobin in authentic samples.

Abstract
Twenty-three phage-displayed peptides that specifically bind to an anti-benzothiostrobin monoclonal antibody (mAb) in the absence or presence of benzothiostrobin were isolated from a cyclic 8-residue peptide phage library. Competitive and noncompetitive phage enzyme linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) for benzothiostrobin were developed by using a clone C3-3 specific to the benzothiostrobin-free mAb and a clone N6-18 specific to the benzothiostrobin immunocomplex, respectively. Under the optimal conditions, the half maximal inhibition concentration (IC50) of the competitive phage ELISA and the concentration of analyte producing 50% saturation of the signal (SC50) of the noncompetitive phage ELISA for benzothiostrobin were 0.94 and 2.27 ng mL(-1), respectively. The noncompetitive phage ELISA showed higher selectivity compared to the competitive. Recoveries of the competitive and the noncompetitive phage ELISAs for benzothiostrobin in cucumber, tomato, pear and rice samples were 67.6-119.6% and 70.4-125.0%, respectively. The amounts of benzothiostrobin in the containing incurred residues samples detected by the two types of phage ELISAs were significantly correlated with that detected by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).

Abstract
Short peptide loops selected from phage libraries can specifically recognize the formation of hapten-antibody immunocomplexes and can thus be used to develop phage anti-immunocomplex assays (PHAIA) for noncompetitive detection of small molecules. In this study, we generated recombinant chimeras by fusing anti-immunocomplex peptides selected from phage libraries to the N- or C-termini of core streptavidin and used them to setup phage-free noncompetitive assays for the herbicide clomazone (MW 240 Da). The best conditions for refolding were optimized by a high throughput screening allowing to obtain tens of mg of purified protein per liter of culture. The noncompetitive assay developed with these chimeras performed with a 50% saturating concentration (SC50) of 2.2 ± 0.3 ng/mL and limit of detection (LOD) of 0.48 ng/mL. Values that are 13- and 8-fold better that those obtained for the SC50 and LOD of the competitive assay setup with the same antibody. Apart from the first demonstration that recombinant peptide-streptavidin chimeras can be used for sensitive immunodetection of small molecules with a positive readout, this new assay component is a highly standardized reagent with a defined stoichiometry, which can be used in combination with the broad option of existing biotinylated reagents offering a great versatility for the development of conventional immunoassay and biosensors. The utility of the test was demonstrated analyzing the clomazone runoff during the rice growing season in northern Uruguay.

Abstract
The development of immunosensors for the detection of small molecules is of great interest because of their simplicity, high sensitivity and extended analytical range. Due to their size, small compounds cannot be simultaneously recognized by two antibodies impeding their detection by noncompetitive two-site immunoassays, which are superior to competitive ones in terms of sensitivity, kinetics, and working range. In this work, we combine the advantages of magneto-electrochemical immunosensors with the improved sensitivity and direct proportional signal of noncompetitive immunoassays to develop a new Phage Anti-Immunocomplex Electrochemical Immunosensor (PhAIEI) for the detection of the herbicide atrazine. The noncompetitive assay is based on the use of recombinant M13 phage particles bearing a peptide that specifically recognizes the immunocomplex of atrazine with an anti-atrazine monoclonal antibody. The PhAIEI performed with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.2 pg mL(-1), which is 200-fold better than the LOD obtained using the same antibody in an optimized conventional competitive ELISA, with a large increase in working range. The developed PhAIEI was successfully used to assay undiluted river water samples with no pretreatment and excellent recoveries. Apart from the first demonstration of the benefits of integrating phage anti-immunocomplex particles into electrochemical immunosensors, the extremely low and environmentally relevant detection limits of atrazine attained with the PhAIEIS may have direct applicability to fast and sensitive detection of this herbicide in the environment.

Abstract
To develop a more sensitive immunoassay for malachite green (MG) and leucomalachite green (LMG), we identified the immunocomplex binding phage-borne peptides for use in the noncompetitive phage anti-immunocomplex assay (PHAIA). An anti-LMG monoclonal antibody (mAb) was used to select immunocomplex binding peptides from a circular random eight-amino-acid phage-displayed library. After three rounds of panning-elution, five peptides that bound the LMG-mAb immunocomplex were obtained. One of the phage-borne peptide clones that resulted in an assay with the highest sensitivity was chosen for further research. The concentration of LMG producing 50% of the saturated signal and the limit of detection of the assay were 7.02 and 0.55 ng/mL, respectively, with a linear range of 1.35 to 21.56 ng/mL. The PHAIA based on the same antibody was 16 times more sensitive compared to the competitive immunoassay. PHAIA was used to analyze LMG, MG, and two mixtures of spiked fish samples, with validation by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with fluorescence detector. Results showed a good correlation (R(2)LMG = 0.9841; R(2)MG = 0.993; R(2)Mixture = 0.9903) between the data of PHAIA and HPLC, thus the assay was an efficient method for monitoring food safety.

Abstract
Filamentous bacteriophages have successfully been used to detect chemical and biological analytes with increased selectivity and sensitivity. The enhancement largely originates not only from the ability of viruses to provide a platform for the surface display of a wide range of biological ligands, but also from the geometric morphologies of the viruses that constitute biomimetic structures with larger surface area-to-volume ratio. This review will appraise the mechanism of multivalent display of the viruses that enables surface modification of virions either by chemical or biological methods. The accommodation of functionalized virions to various materials, including polymers, proteins, metals, nanoparticles, and electrodes for sensor applications will also be discussed.

Abstract
![]()
Small
compounds cannot bind simultaneously to two antibodies, and
thus, their immunodetection is limited to competitive formats in which
the analyte is indirectly quantitated by measuring the unoccupied
antibody binding sites using a competing reporter. This limitation
can be circumvented by using phage-borne peptides selected for their
ability to specifically react with the analyte–antibody immunocomplex,
which allows the detection of these small molecules in a noncompetitive
format (PHAIA) with increased sensitivity and a positive readout.
In an effort to find substitutes for the phage particles in PHAIA,
we explore the use of the B subunit of the Shiga-like toxin of Escherichia coli, also known as verotoxin (VTX),
as a scaffold for multivalent display of anti-immunocomplex peptides.
Using the herbicides molinate and clomazone as model compounds, we
built peptide–VTX recombinant chimeras that were produced in
the periplasmic space of E. coli as
soluble pentamers, as confirmed by multiangle light scattering analysis.
These multivalent constructs, which we termed nanopeptamers, were
conjugated to a tracer enzyme and used to detect the herbicide–antibody
complex in an ELISA format. The VTX–nanopeptamer assays performed
with over a 10-fold increased sensitivity and excellent recovery from
spiked surface and mineral water samples. The carbon black-labeled
peptide–VTX nanopeptamers showed great potential for the development
of a lateral-flow test for small molecules with a visual positive
readout that allowed the detection of up to 2.5 ng/mL of clomazone.

Abstract
There is a great demand for rapid tests that can be used on-site for the detection of small analytes, such as pesticides, persistent organic pollutants, explosives, toxins, medicinal and abused drugs, hormones, etc. Dipsticks and lateral flow devices, which are simple and provide a visual readout, may be the answer, but the available technology for these compounds requires a competitive format that loses sensitivity and produces readings inversely proportional to the analyte concentration, which is counterintuitive and may lead to potential misinterpretation of the result. In this work, protein-multipeptide constructs composed of anti-immunocomplex peptides selected from phage libraries and streptavidin/avidin as core protein were used for direct detection of small compounds in a noncompetitive two-site immunoassay format that performs with increased sensitivity and positive readout. These constructs that we termed "nanopeptamers" allow the development of rapid point-of-use tests with a positive visual end point of easy interpretation. As proof of concept, lateral flow assays for the herbicides molinate and clomazone were developed and their performance was characterized with field samples.
