Abstract
Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) is an important enzyme in the central and peripheral nervous system that regulates the balance of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. In this work, a simple, selective and sensitive fluorescence assay was developed toward AChE activity. A conventional AChE substrate acetylthiocholine iodide (ATCI) was applied. Instead directly rendering a signaling, it was found that free iodide ions was released during the enzymatic hydrolysis of ATCI. These ions further catalyzed the oxidation of non-emissive o-phenylenediamine (OPD) into a fluorescent product. This gave a response differed from frequently-adopted sulfhydryl- -based signals and thus minimized related interferences. All materials included in this process were directly available and no additional syntheses were required. Due to the extra iodide-based catalysis included, this scheme was capable of providing a sensitive response toward AChE in the range of 0.01-8 U/L, with a limit of detection at 0.006 U/L. This method was further extended onto chlorpyrifos as an exemplary AChE inhibitor, with a detection down to 3 pM.

Development of a sustainable procedure for smartphone-based colorimetric determination of benzalkonium chloride in pharmaceutical preparations. Heliyon 2024; 10:e28965.

Abstract
A sustainable procedure offering green, simple, and rapid analysis was developed to determine benzalkonium chloride (BKC) in pharmaceutical preparations. The determination using smartphones was based on the ion pair colorimetric reaction with bromothymol blue (BTB), which produces a yellow color. The intensity of the product color, which is proportional to the concentration of BKC, was detected and evaluated using a smartphone camera and an image processing application. The procedure was performed in a microliter and was rapidly detected within 1 min after incubation. This offered high throughput at 28 samples per well plate in duplicate. Linear calibration, which was a plot of BKC concentrations and relative red intensities, was in the range of 2.0-24.0 μg/mL with an R2 of 0.997. The limits of detection (LOD) and quantitation (LOQ) were 1.0 and 3.2 μg/mL, respectively. This work was successful in applying it to pharmaceutical materials, disinfectant products, and pharmaceutical products containing BKC. It was discovered that the concentrations of BKC as an active ingredient in pharmaceutical materials were 82% w/v, whereas those in disinfectant products ranged from 0.4 to 2.1% w/v. In pharmaceutical products, ophthalmic drops and nasal sprays contain BKC as preservatives in the 0.01-0.02, and the 0.02% w/v, respectively. The results obtained by the proposed procedure compared with a reference titration method showed no significant differences at a 95% confidence level with 1.2-3.4% RSDs. This promotes the efficiency of pharmaceutical preparations regarding infection prevention and control by ensuring that available disinfectants contain a sufficient concentration of BKC. Additionally, this improves the efficiency of pharmaceutical preparations for quality control of pharmaceutical products by ensuring that the available preservatives maintain a sufficient concentration throughout the lifespan of the products.

Abstract
The highly infectious characteristics of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), which is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), highlight the necessity of sensitive and rapid nucleocapsid (N) protein-based antigen testing for early triage and epidemic management. In this study, a colorimetric and photothermal dual-mode lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) platform for the rapid and sensitive detection of the SARS-CoV-2 N protein was developed based on gold nanorods (GNRs), which possessed tunable local surface plasma resonance (LSPR) absorption peaks from UV-visible to near-infrared (NIR). The LSPR peak was adjusted to match the NIR emission laser 808 nm by controlling the length-to-diameter ratio, which could maximize the photothermal conversion efficiency and achieve photothermal detection signal amplification. Qualitative detection of SARS-CoV-2 N protein was achieved by observing the strip color, and the limit of detection was 2 ng mL-1, while that for photothermal detection was 0.096 ng mL-1. Artificial saliva samples spiked with the N protein were analyzed with the recoveries ranging from 84.38% to 107.72%. The intra-assay and inter-assay coefficients of variation were 6.76% and 10.39%, respectively. We further evaluated the reliability of this platform by detecting 40 clinical samples collected from nasal swabs, and the results matched well with that of nucleic acid detection (87.5%). This method shows great promise in early disease diagnosis and screening.

Abstract
Chitosan (CS)-stabilized platinum nanoparticles (CS/PtNPs) were employed to develop a novel aptamer-based dual-mode colorimetric and photothermal biosensor for selective detection of kanamycin (KAN). As a peroxidase-like catalyst, the CS/PtNPs showed outstanding catalytic activity for the oxidation of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) in the presence of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). As a stabilizing agent, CS excelled at fixing the KAN binding aptamer on the surface of the CS/PtNPs, amplifying their catalytic activity and enhancing colloidal dispersion and stability. The oxidized TMB (TMBox) functioned as a signal for the colorimetric, photothermal aptasensor because of its observable absorbance of light in the visible and near-infrared (NIR) regions. When light from a NIR laser was absorbed by the TMBox in the reaction solution, heat was generated in inverse proportion to the KAN concentration. The developed colorimetric and photothermal modes of the aptasensor showed a linear detection range of 0.1-50 and 0.5-50 μM, with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.04 and 0.41 μM, respectively. Moreover, the aptasensor successfully determined KAN concentrations in spiked milk samples, verifying the reliability and reproducibility in practical applications. The dual-mode aptasensor based on CS/PtNPs for KAN detection, utilizing both color change and heat generation signals through a single probe (TMBox), demonstrates rapid response, simplicity in operation, cost-effectiveness, and high sensitivity. In addition, unlike typical immunoassays, this aptamer-based peroxidase-like nanozyme activation and inhibition strategy required no washing process, which was very effective in terms of reducing the time required for an assay and sustaining a high sensitivity.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a toxic contaminant and has great influence on many physiological processes. Due to various pathophysiological roles and environmental pollution problems, it is necessary to construct and develop simple and portable monitoring sensors for the precise detection of H2S. Herein, we developed a smartphone-adapted dual-mode detection platform by integrating the colorimetric and photothermal imaging analysis into a metal-organic framework-based chip (ZIF-8/Cu). Due to the nanoconfinement effect of ZIF-8, small-sized plasmonic CuS could be in-situ formed during the detection procedure of H2S and endowed the chips with excellent photothermal properties. By constructing a smartphone-adapted photothermal imager, the metal-organic framework-based chip could achieve a portable photothermal imaging analysis of H2S. Moreover, as the formed CuS was a good peroxidase-like nanozyme, the chips could also be used to trigger the enzymic catalytic reaction toward the chromogenic reaction of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB)-H2O2, thus providing another colorimetric sensing mode by using a smartphone App. In this smartphone-adapted visualization platform, the portable chemosensors could simultaneously achieve double detection modes at one electrode, which provided a new pathway for the accurate detection of H2S and circumvented the false-positive or negative errors during the detection process. Besides, by using the finite difference time domain (FDTD) simulation method, the in-depth mechanism, including the plasmonic effect and spatial electromagnetic field distribution, was explored to provide a possible reason for the excellent sensing performance of the dual-mode visualization platform. This work provides a new insight into the construction of the accurate, portable and smart sensing platform in the visual screening of H2S.

Abstract
We developed a dual-mode biosensor that utilizes DNA conformational changes and ultraviolet photolysis for electrochemical (EC) and fluorescence (FL) detection. In this study, a stem-loop-structured carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) aptamer was modified on an Au electrode, and this aptamer contained a redox-labeled methylene blue (MB), short-chain DNA with a 6-carboxylic fluorescein (FAM) and a PC linker that can be cleaved by ultraviolet light. Subsequently, CEA and CEA antibody-modified upconversion nanoparticle bioconjugates (CEA-Ab@UCNPs) were added. In the presence of CEA, Ab@UCNPs can bind CEA and push the MB which was originally close to the electrode surface, away from the electrode surface, resulting in a reduced redox current. Under irradiation with a 980 nm laser, the UCNPs emit ultraviolet light, leading to photocleavage of the PC linker and the release of FAM for FL sensing. Under optimal conditions, the EC and FL modes showed good responses to CEA within 0.01-50 ng/mL and 0.1-80 ng/mL, respectively.

Abstract
To conveniently monitor bioactive cysteine (Cys) and Fe2+ in practice, a kind of poly-β-cyclodextrin strengthen praseodymium oxide (Pr6O11) porous oxidase mimic (p-β-CD@Pr6O11) was constructed by virtue of the strong coordination between nano Pr6O11 and poly-β-cyclodextrin substrate. After its microstructure and physicochemical property were characterized in detail, it was noted that porous p-β-CD@Pr6O11 exhibited excellent enzyme-like catalytic activity to accelerate the oxidation of 3,3',5,5,'-tetramethylbanzidine (TMB) and 2,2'-azinobis (3-ethylbenzo-thiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) ammonium salt (ABTS) with significant color-enhancement effect in the air. Based on the signal amplification, trace Cys could exclusively deteriorate the UV-vis absorbance at 653 nm of p-β-CD@Pr6O11-TMB and Fe2+ alter the one at 729 nm of p-β-CD@Pr6O11-ABTS with visual color changes. Under the optimized conditions, the proposed p-β-CD@Pr6O11-TMB and p-β-CD@Pr6O11-ABTS systems were successfully applied for dual-channel monitoring of Cys in Cys capsules and fetal bovine serum and Fe2+ in agricultural products with quite low detection limits, i.e., 7.8×10-9 mol·L-1 for Cys and 6.93×10-8 mol·L-1 (S/N=3) for Fe2+, respectively. The synergetic-enhancement detection mechanisms to Cys and Fe2+ were also proposed.

Abstract
The analysis of porewater concentrations in constructed wetland sediments could help to understand biogeochemical processes, the sources and sinks of nutrients, and their effect on overlying water quality. In this study, we measured high-resolution porewater concentration profiles of ammonium (NH4+-N), nitrate (NO3N), phosphate (PO43--P), and ferrous iron (Fe(II)) in-situ in the Laratinga constructed wetland in Mount Barker (South Australia) using diffusive equilibration in thin films (DET) techniques. Measurements were taken under light and dark conditions, and non-aerated and aerated conditions to determine the effect on sediment porewater nutrient concentrations. Baseline surface water nutrient concentrations (NH4+-N > 36 mg L-1, PO43--P > 0.43 mg L-1) greatly exceeded water quality guideline criteria. Aeration of the water column alleviated night-time hypoxic conditions (i.e. dissolved oxygen increased from a minimum of 0.7 mg L-1 to a minimum of 4 mg L-1), and increased the redox potential in the sediment. Significant differences were present for NH4+-N, PO43--P, and Fe(II) concentrations with depth in the sediment. Ammonium concentrations in the sediment reduced under aerated conditions, presumably due to enhanced nitrification. However it was observed that PO43--P and Fe(II) concentrations increased significantly with aeration, especially under dark conditions, and were strongly correlated (R2>0.8). This was not what was hypothesised and points to complex interactions between Fe and P in the sediment. Nitrate concentrations in the sediment were below the detection limit (<0.9 mg L-1) which suggests limited nitrification-denitrification is occurring. Overall the results suggest that DET techniques are useful tools for quantifying porewater concentrations of nutrients in constructed wetlands under various environmental conditions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Detecting cancer biomarker levels in body fluids is essential for medical diagnosis. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) has been broadly used to detect cancer biomarkers. However, colorimetric ELISA based solely on nanoparticles (NPs) are susceptible to environmental influences, which often results in the detection inaccuracy, being limited in clinical applications. In this regard, the dual-mode approach would add signal diversity to the detection, making the results more reliable. RESULTS We present colorimetric and photothermal immunosensor that enables direct reading of the color and temperature of the solution. A core-satellite nanoprobe constructed by polydopamine (PDA) as the core and gold seeds as satellites is rationally designed as the signal reporter. When ascorbic acid is present in the solution, PDA can cooperate with ascorbic acid to reduce chloroauric acid and mediate the growth of gold seeds on the PDA surface, inducing a redshift of the localized surface plasmon resonance peak of the nanosensor and the change in photothermal conversion efficiency. The method is further combined with the sandwiched immunoassay to construct an alkaline phosphatase based colorimetric and photothermal ELISA for the highly sensitive and accurate evaluation and detection of prostate-specific antigen (PSA). The linear range was from 0.05 to 100 ng mL-1 with a detection limit of 6.71 pg mL-1 for the colorimetric detection, while the linear range was from 0.5 to 90 ng mL-1 with a detection limit of 0.13 ng mL-1 in the photothermal analysis. The accurate detection of PSA levels in serum samples was well demonstrated with the dual-mode approach. SIGNIFICANCE The presented immunoassay allows straightforward, sensitive, and selective readout by color and temperature without advanced instrumentation. Particularly, the LOD was much lower than the threshold in clinical trials for PSA. Therefore, this method has a great prospect in the early diagnosis of cancer biomarkers based on a dual-mode multifunctional platform.

Abstract
Alpha-glucosidase (α-Glu) plays a crucial role in regulating the normal physiological function of the body; therefore, α-Glu activity detection is crucial in clinical studies. In this study, a nickel-based metal-organic framework (Ni-MOF) co-doped with sulfur dots (SDs) and iron (Fe) was designed and constructed for the colorimetric detection of α-Glu. The SDs/Fe/Ni-MOF shows a very low Michaelis-Menten constant (0.0466 mM) for H2O2, suggesting a very high affinity for H2O2. Additionally, the free radicals generated by the nanozyme-catalyzed reaction were analyzed, and the feasibility of the nanozyme-catalyzed process was further verified using density functional theory. The bimetallic (Fe and Ni) can improve the catalytic activity of the material, and sulfur can improve the affinity with the substrate to further enhance the catalytic performance. Notably, hydroquinone (HQ) inhibits nanozyme activity, whereas α-Glu hydrolyzes alpha-arbutin (α-Arb) and subsequently produces HQ. Therefore, this study developed a method for detecting α-Glu activity using α-Arb as a substrate. This method has high selectivity, a wide detection range (1.00-100 U L-1), and a low detection limit (0.525 U L-1). Finally, the method was used to α-Glu activity detected in serum samples with good accuracy. This study provides a new method for the detection of α-Glu.

Abstract
The proof-of-concept of sensitive electrochemical immunoassay for the quantitative monitoring of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) is reported. The assay is carried out on iron nitrogen-doped carbon (FeNC) nanozyme-modified screen-printed carbon electrode using chronoamperometry. Introduction of target HER2 can induce the sandwiched immunoreaction between anti-HER2 monoclonal antibody-coated microplate and biotinylated anti-HER2 polyclonal antibody. Thereafter, streptavidin-glucose oxidase (GOx) conjugate is bonded to the detection antibody. Upon addition of glucose, 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) is oxidized through the produced H2O2 with the assistance of GOx and FeNC nanozyme. The oxidized TMB is determined via chronoamperometry. Experimental results revealed that electrochemical immunosensing system exhibited good amperometric response, and allowed the detection of target HER2 as low as 4.5 pg/mL. High specificity and long-term stability are acquired with FeNC nanozyme-based sensing strategy. Importantly, our system provides a new opportunity for protein diagnostics.

Abstract
In this work, a highly sensitive colorimetric sensing platform was designed for the detection of trichlorfon based on inhibiting thiocholine (TCh)-induced redox reaction. 5,10,15,20-Tetracarboxyphenylporphyrin (TCPP) functionalized CuCo2O4 (TCPP-CuCo2O4) was synthesized to construct a colorimetric sensing platform for trichlorfon. In the presence of H2O2, TCPP-CuCo2O4 can oxidize colorless 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) into blue ox-TMB, accompanied by a strong absorption peak at 652 nm, while acetylcholinesterase (AChE) can specifically hydrolyze acetylthiocholine (ATCh) into TCh, which can reduce ox-TMB back into colorless TMB, resulting in a lower absorbance at 652 nm. Trichlorfon can irreversibly inhibit the activity of AChE and thus recover the absorption peak. Under the optimized conditions, detection of trichlorfon has a wide linear range of 40-4000 ng mL-1 with a linear correlation coefficient of 0.9904. The proposed method can be applied to the detection of trichlorfon in vegetables and has good application prospects.

Abstract
Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) plays a crucial role in biological neurotransmission. The aberrant expression of AChE is associated with various neurodegenerative diseases. Therefore, it is of great significance to develop a simple and highly sensitive AChE analysis platform. Herein, a simple colorimetric sensor was constructed for sensitive detection of AChE based on the peroxidase-like catalytic activity of Ni/Co layered double hydroxides (Ni/Co LDHs). In this sensor, the fabricated Ni/Co LDHs possess high peroxidase-like activity, enabling rapid catalysis of o-phenylenediamine (OPD) to produce yellow oxOPD in the presence of H2O2. This peroxidase-like activity of Ni/Co LDHs was found to be effectively inhibited by the presence of AChE. It is speculated that the combination of AChE on the outer surface of Ni/Co LDHs through non-covalent interaction may cover the active sites and hinder their adsorption to the substrates, leading to the failure of OPD oxidation. As a result, the yellow color from oxOPD is related to the AChE concentration, enabling the direct AChE assay in an equipment-free manner. In addition, the fabricated Ni/Co LDHs could be modified on a paper surface to obtain a paper-based analytical device for visualized colorimetric detection of AChE. The as-proposed sensor shows high sensitivity to AChE with a detection limit down to 6.6 μU mL-1. Therefore, this naked-eye paper-based sensor is capable of on-site and real-time detection of AChE, and has outstanding application prospects in clinical diagnosis and biomedical fields.

Abstract
Rh-based nanozymes show high catalytic efficiency, specific surface area, good stability, and unique physicochemical properties, while magnetic nanozymes facilitate the magnetic separation of detection samples under an external magnetic field for improved sensitivity. However, magnetic Rh nanozymes, especially those with excellent stability, have not been reported. Herein, we apply the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method to prepare a CoRh graphitic nanozyme (termed as CoRh@G nanozyme), which structurally consists of CoRh nanoalloy encapsulated by a few layers of graphene for sensitive colorimetric sensing applications. The proposed CoRh@G nanozyme has superior peroxidase (POD)-like activity, and it shows higher affinity of the CoRh@G nanozyme than horseradish peroxidase (HRP) toward 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzydine (TMB) oxidation. In addition, the CoRh@G nanozyme shows high durability and superior recyclability owing to its protective graphitic shell. The outstanding merits of the CoRh@G nanozyme allow its use for quantitative colorimetric detection of dopamine (DA) and ascorbic acid (AA), showing high sensitivity and good selectivity. Moreover, it shows satisfactory performance for AA detection in commercial beverages and energy drinks. The proposed CoRh@G nanozyme-based colorimetric sensing platform shows great promise in point-of-care (POC) visual monitoring.

Abstract
Herein, we presented a dual-readout gasochromic immunosensing platform for accurate and sensitive detection of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) based on Ag-doped/Pd nanoparticles loaded MoO3 nanorods (Ag/MoO3-Pd). Initially, the presence of analyte CEA would prompt the formation of sandwich-type immunoreaction, accompanied by the introduction of Pt NPs labeled on detection antibody. Upon the addition of NH3BH3, the product hydrogen (H2) will interact with Ag/MoO3-Pd as a bridge between the sensing interface and the biological assembly platform. Both photocurrent and temperature signals can serve as readouts due to the significantly increased PEC performance and enhanced photothermal conversion capability of H-Ag/MoO3-Pd (the product of Ag/MoO3-Pd react with H2) compared to Ag/MoO3-Pd. In addition, the DFT results show that the band gap of Ag/MoO3-Pd becomes narrower after the reaction with H2, thus improving the utilization of light, which theoretically explains the internal mechanism of gas sensing reaction. Under optimal conditions, the designed immunosensing platform showed good sensitivity for CEA detection with the limit of detection (LOD) of 26 pg mL-1 (photoelectrochemical mode) and 98 pg mL-1 (photothermal mode). This work not only presents the possible reaction mechanism of Ag/MoO3-Pd and H2, but also creatively applicate it in photothermal biosensors that give a new path for devising dual-readout immunosensor.

Abstract
We developed an electrochemical and fluorescent dual-mode sensor for assessing acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity and inhibition by taking advantage of the high redox sensitivity of surface-coated mesoporous MnO2@polymer dot (MnO2@PD) towards AChE. The following phenomena constitute the basis of the detection mechanism: fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) effect between MnO2 and PD; catalytic hydrolysis of acetylthiocholine (ATCh) to thiocholine (TCh) by AChE expressed by PC-12 cells, inducing fluorescence restoration and change in the conductivity of the system due to MnO2 decomposition; the presence of the inhibitor neostigmine preventing the conversion of ATCh to TCh. The surface-coated biosensor presents both fluorescence-based and electrochemical approaches for effectively monitoring AChE activity and inhibition. The fluorescence approach is based on the fluorescent "on/off" property of the system caused by MnO2 breakdown after interaction with TCh and the subsequent release of PDs. The conductivity of the coated electrode decreased dramatically as AChE concentration increased, resulting in electrochemical sensing of AChE activity and inhibition screening. Real-time wireless sensing can be conducted using a smartphone to monitor the resistance change, investigating the potential use of MnO2@PD nanocomposites in biological studies, and offering a real-time redox-fluorescent test for AChE activity monitoring and inhibitor screening.

Abstract
Biomarkers detection in blood with high accuracy is crucial for the diagnosis and treatment of many diseases. In this study, the proof-of-concept fabrication of a dual-mode sensor based on a single probe (Re-BChE) using a dual-signaling electrochemical ratiometric strategy and a "turn-on" fluorescent method is presented. The probe Re-BChE was synthesized in a single step and demonstrated dual mode response toward butyrylcholinesterase (BChE), a promising biomarker of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Due to the specific hydrolysis reaction, the probe Re-BChE demonstrated a turn-on current response for BChE at -0.28 V, followed by a turn-off current response at -0.18 V, while the fluorescence spectrum demonstrated a turn-on response with an emission wavelength of 600 nm. The developed ratiometric electrochemical sensor and fluorescence detection demonstrated high sensitivity with BChE concentrations with a low detection limit of 0.08 μg mL-1 and 0.05 μg mL-1, respectively. Importantly, the dual-mode sensor presents the following advantages: (1) dual-mode readout can correct the impact of systematic or background error, thereby achieving more accurate results; (2) the responses of dual-mode readout originate from two distinct mechanisms and relatively independent signal transduction, in which there is no interference between two signaling routes. Additionally, compared with the reported single-signal electrochemical assays for BChE, both redox potential signals were detected in the absence of biological interference within a negative potential window. Furthermore, it was discovered that the outcomes of direct dual-mode electrochemical and fluorescence quantifications of the level of BChE in serum were in agreement with those obtained from the use of commercially available assay kits for BChE sensing. This method has the potential to serve as a useful point-of-care tool for the early detection of AD.

Abstract
In this study, we developed a simultaneous readout of pressure and temperature dual-signals platform based on the second near-infrared (NIR II) light response-based polydopamine (PDA)-functionalized-AuPt nanoparticles (NPs)@CuS nanosheets (PDA/AuPt@CuS NS) composite. Due to the excellent NIR photothermal performance of PDA/AuPt@CuS NS, it contribute to the decomposition of H2O2 and NH4HCO3 to generate gases (including O2, CO2, and NH3) can be promoted, which can amplify the pressure signals in a sealed container. A sandwich mode is formed between Fe3O4 NPs and PDA/AuPt@CuS NS based on the dual-aptamer when target pathogenic bacteria is present. And, it is possible to convert the molecular recognition signals between the dual-aptamers into amplified pressures and temperatures, which can be read out by a portable pressure meter and smartphones simultaneously. It may offer the possibility for quantitative POCT analysis of Pathogenic Bacteria. Moreover, because of the high photothermal efficiency of this method, the developed dual-mode method can achieve that following the detection of bacteria and killing them immediately. As a result, secondary contamination is eliminated and bacterial transmission is avoided. The developed dual-signal sensing platform is also inexpensive, simple to operate and rapidly, indicating that it can be used for food safety analysis, clinical applications, and environmental monitoring.

Abstract
Currently, the development of efficient mycotoxins detection methods, particularly using portable devices as readout devices, remains a great challenge. Herein, a photothermal enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) based on gold nanostars (AuNSs) for the detection of ochratoxin A (OTA) using a "thermometer" was proposed for the first time. AuNSs with photothermal conversion capacity were parepared using an ascorbic acid (AA)-mediated in situ growth methd. Quantification was based on the alkaline phosphatase catalyzing the dephosphorylation of ascorbic acid 2-phosphoate to AA, thereby converting OTA concentration to the amount of in situ synthesized AuNSs, thus achieving straightforward readout by temperature. Benefiting from the classical tyramine signal amplification strategy, a detection limit of 0.39 ng mL-1 was obtained. The recoveries of grape juice and maize samples spiked with 10 ng mL-1 and 30 ng mL-1 OTA ranged from 86.53% to 116.9%. Our method has great potential in on-site OTA detection for food safety.

Abstract
Analytical methods for detecting neurotransmitters (NTs) and organophosphorus (OP) pesticides with high sensitivity are vitally necessary for the rapid identification of physical, mental, and neurological illnesses, as well as to ensure food safety and safeguard ecosystems. In this work, we developed a supramolecular self-assembled system (SupraZyme) that exhibits multi-enzymatic activity. SupraZyme possesses the ability to show both oxidase and peroxidase-like activity, which has been employed for biosensing. The peroxidase-like activity was used for the detection of catecholamine NTs, epinephrine (EP), and norepinephrine (NE) with a detection limit of 6.3 µM and 1.8 µM, respectively, while the oxidase-like activity was utilized for the detection of organophosphate pesticides. The detection strategy for OP chemicals was based on the inhibition of acetylcholine esterase (AChE) activity: a key enzyme that is responsible for the hydrolysis of acetylthiocholine (ATCh). The corresponding limit of detection of paraoxon-methyl (POM) and methamidophos (MAP) was measured to be 0.48 ppb and 15.8 ppb, respectively. Overall, we report an efficient supramolecular system with multiple enzyme-like activities that provide a versatile toolbox for the construction of sensing platforms for the colorimetric point-of-care detection of both NTs and OP pesticides.
