Abstract
A metal-organic framework (MOF), ZIF-8, which is stable at neutral and slightly basic pH values in aqueous solutions and destabilized/dissolved under acidic conditions, is loaded with a pH-insensitive fluorescent dye, rhodamine-B isothiocyanate, as a model payload species. Then, the MOF species are immobilized at an electrode surface. The local (interfacial) pH value is rapidly decreased by means of an electrochemically stimulated ascorbate oxidation at +0.4 V (Ag/AgCl/KCl). Oxygen reduction upon switching the applied potential to -0.8 V allows to return the local pH to the neutral/basic pH, then stopping rapidly the release process. The developed method allows electrochemical control over stimulated or inhibited payload release processes from the MOF. The pH variation proceeds in a thin film of the solution near the electrode surface. The switchable release process is realized in a buffer solution and undiluted human serum. As the second option, the pH decrease stimulating the release process is achieved upon an enzymatic reaction using esterase and ester substrate. This approach potentially allows the release activation controlled by numerous enzymes assembled in complex biocatalytic cascades. It is expected that related electrochemical or biocatalytic systems can represent novel signal-responding materials with switchable features for delivering (bio)molecules within biomedical applications.

Abstract
The construction and assembly of artificial allosteric protein switches into information and energy processing networks connected to both biological and non-biological systems is a central goal of synthetic biology and bionanotechnology. However, designing protein switches with the desired input, output and performance parameters is challenging. Here we use a range of reporter proteins to demonstrate that their chimeras with duplicated receptor domains produce YES gate protein switches with large (up to 9,000-fold) dynamic ranges and fast (minutes) response rates. In such switches, the epistatic interactions between largely independent synthetic allosteric sites result in an OFF state with minimal background noise. We used YES gate protein switches based on β-lactamase to develop quantitative biosensors of therapeutic drugs and protein biomarkers. Furthermore, we demonstrated the reconfiguration of YES gate switches into AND gate switches controlled by two different inputs, and their assembly into signalling networks regulated at multiple nodes.

Abstract
This review provides a general overview of different biosensors, mostly concentrating on electrochemical analytical devices, while briefly explaining general approaches to various kinds of biosensors, their construction and performance. A discussion on how all required components of biosensors are brought together to perform analytical work is offered. Different signal-transducing mechanisms are discussed, particularly addressing the immobilization of biomolecular components in the vicinity of a transducer interface and their functional integration with electronic devices. The review is mostly addressing general concepts of the biosensing processes rather than specific modern achievements in the area.

Abstract
The electrochemically controlled release of proteins was studied in a Ca2+-cross-linked alginate hydrogel deposited on an electrode surface. The electrochemical oxidation of ascorbate or reduction of O2 was achieved upon applying electrical potentials +0.6 or -0.8 V (vs Ag/AgCl/KCl 3 M), respectively, resulting in decreasing or increasing pH locally near an electrode surface. The obtained local acidic solution resulted in the protonation of carboxylic groups in the alginate hydrogel and, as a result, the formation of a hydrophobic shrunken hydrogel film. Conversely, the produced alkaline local environment resulted in a hydrophilic swollen hydrogel film. The release of the proteins was effectively inhibited from the shrunk hydrogel and activated from the swollen hydrogel film. Overall, the electrochemically produced local pH changes allowed control over the biomolecule release process. While the release inhibition by applying +0.6 V was always effective and could be maintained as long as the positive potential was applied, the release activation was different depending on the protein molecular size, being more effective for smaller species, and molecule charge, being more effective for negatively charged species. The repetitive change from the inhibited to stimulated state of the biomolecule release process was obtained upon cyclic application of oxidative and reductive potentials (+0.6 V ↔ -0.8 V). The alginate hydrogel film shrinking-swelling as well as the protein release process were studied and visualized using a confocal fluorescent microscope. In order to be observed, an external surface of the alginate film and the loaded protein molecules were labeled with different fluorescent dyes, which then produced colored fluorescent images under a confocal microscope.

Abstract
A micro/nanoshaped system composed of alginate microspheres (microgels) decorated with silica oxide nanoparticles functionalized with nitroavidin was used for on-demand biomolecule release stimulated by different input signals. Enzymes preloaded in the microgels processed the applied signals producing either basic pH locally near the microspheres or generating H2O2 inside the hydrogel, or both simultaneously. The pH increase resulted in cleavage of the affinity bonds between nitroavidin and biotin, then releasing the latter. The H2O2 produced resulted in oxidative cleavage of cross-linking bonds in the alginate matrix, then opening pores and releasing a loaded model protein (bovine serum albumin).

Abstract
Precision analysis of the key biological metabolites such as L-lactate has great practical importance for many technological processes in food technology, including beverage production. Here we describe a new, highly selective, and sensitive biosensor for accurate L-lactate assay based on a combination of peroxidase-mimetic nanozymes with microbial lactate oxidase (LOx) immobilized onto the surface of a graphite-rod electrode (GE). The peroxidase-like nanozymes were synthesized using the debris of carbon microfibers (CFs) functionalized with hemin (H) and modified with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) or platinum microparticles (PtMPs). The nanozyme formed with PtMPs as well as corresponding bioelectrodes based on it (LOx-CF-H-PtMPs/GE) is characterized by preferable catalytic and operational characteristics, so it was selected for the analysis of L-lactate content in real samples of grape must and red wine. The results of the L-lactate analysis obtained by the developed biosensors are highly correlated with a very selective spectrophotometric approach used as a reference. The developed biosensor, due to its high selectivity and sensitivity, is very prospective not only for the beverage industry and food technology, but also for clinical diagnostics and medicine, as well as in other applications where the accurate analysis of L-lactate is highly important.

Abstract
A new nano-structured platform for fluorescent analysis using PQQ-dependent glucose dehydrogenase (PQQ-GDH) was developed, particularly using a smartphone for transduction and quantification of optical signals. The PQQ-GDH enzyme was immobilized on SiO2 nanoparticles deposited on glass microfiber filter paper, providing a high load of the biocatalytic enzyme. The platform was tested and optimized for glucose determination using a wild type of the PQQ-GDH enzyme. The analysis was based on the fluorescence generated by the reduced form of phenazine methosulfate produced stoichiometrically to the glucose concentration. The fluorescent signals were generated at separate analytical spots on the paper support under wavelength (365 nm) UV excitation. The images of the analytical spots, dependent on the glucose concentration, were obtained using a photo camera of a standard smartphone. Then, the images were processed and quantified using software installed in a smartphone. The developed biocatalytic platform is the first step to assembling a large variety of biosensors using the same platform functionalized with artificial allosteric chimeric PQQ-dependent glucose dehydrogenase activated with different analytes. The future combination of the artificial enzymes, the presently developed analytical platform, and signal processing with a smartphone will lead to novel point-of-care and end-user biosensors applicable to virtually all possible analytes.

Abstract
Advances in protein engineering resulted in increased efforts to create protein biosensors that can replace instrumentation-heavy analytical and diagnostic methods. Sensitivity, amenability to multiplexing, and manufacturability remain to be among the key issues preventing broad utilization of protein biosensors. Here, we attempt to address these by constructing arrays utilizing protein biosensors based on the artificial allosteric variant of PQQ-glucose dehydrogenase (GDH). We demonstrated that the silica nanoparticle-immobilized GDH protein could be deposited on fiberglass sheets without loss of activity. The particle-associated GDH activity could be monitored using changes in the fluorescence of the commonly used electron mediator phenazine methosulfate. The constructed biosensor arrays of macrocyclic immunosuppressant drugs cyclosporine A and FK-506 displayed very low background and a remarkable dynamic range exceeding 300-fold that resulted in a limit of detection of 2 pM for both analytes. This enabled us to quantify both drugs in human blood, serum, urine, and saliva. The arrays could be stored in dry form and quantitatively imaged using a smartphone camera, demonstrating the method's suitability for field and point-of-care applications. The developed approach provides a generalizable platform for biosensor array development that is compatible with inexpensive and potentially scalable manufacturing.

Abstract
Immobilized avidin-biotin complexes were used to release biotinylated (bio)molecules upon producing local pH changes near an electrode surface by electrochemical reactions. The nitro-avidin complex with biotin was dissociated by increasing local pH with electrochemical O2 reduction. The avidin complex with iminobiotin was split by decreasing local pH with electrochemical oxidation of ascorbate. Both studied systems were releasing molecule cargo species in response to small electrical potentials (-0.4 V or 0.2 V for the O2 reduction or ascorbate oxidation, respectively) applied on the modified electrodes.

Abstract
A biocatalytic cascade based on concerted operation of pyruvate kinase and luciferase with a bioluminescent output was switched reversibly between low and high activity by applying an external magnetic field at different positions or removing it. The enzymes participating in the reaction cascade were bound to magnetic nanoparticles to allow their translocation or aggregation/dispersion to be controlled by the magnetic field. The reaction intensity, measured as the bioluminescent output, was dependent on the effective distances between the enzymes transported on the magnetic nanoparticles controlled by the magnets.

Abstract
"Smart" drug-delivery systems have significant potential to increase therapeutic efficiency, avoid undesired immune responses, and minimize drug side effects. Herein, we report on an innovative strategy to control the drug release process using two magneto-activated materials operating in the system. One of them, a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)-diboronate (DB)-interpenetrated (IPN) alginate (Alg) microgel nanocomposite (PVA-DB-IPN-Alg) loaded with magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs), is acting as a drug-delivery system. The drugs or model (bio)molecules are loaded in the PVA-DB-IPN-Alg and then released upon receiving a magnetic signal. Another component of the system is represented with the MNPs functionalized with the glucose oxidase (GOx) enzyme, GOx-MNPs. The immobilized GOx biocatalytically produces H2O2 in the presence of glucose and oxygen, while the PVA-DB-IPN-Alg is decomposed/dissolved by reacting with H2O2. In the absence of a magnet, the biocatalytically produced H2O2 was mostly decomposed by the catalase enzyme present in the solution, thus not reaching the alginate microgel. Upon aggregation of these two types of particles induced by a magnet, the GOx-MNPs produced H2O2 in situ increasing locally its concentration, degrading the PVA-DB-IPN, thus opening pores in the alginate hydrogel resulting in a faster release of the entrapped payload. The release of the payload was confirmed in physiological complex environments, exemplified with human serum, demonstrating the stability and functionality of the materials in biological fluids. The release rate was strongly dependent on the concentration of catalase but not dependent on glucose concentration. The magneto-induced release process was confirmed for the small model protein payload, such as bovine serum albumin (BSA), as well as the trastuzumab monoclonal antibody (TmAb). For the latter, the release rate was up to 3.3 times higher in the presence of the magnet than in the absence of it in the human serum. We expect that the drug-delivery concept developed by these materials can find useful applications in the emerging field of "smart" materials in immunotherapy.

Abstract
Enzymatic polypeptide proteolysis is a widespread and powerful biological control mechanism. Over the last few years, substantial progress has been made in creating artificial proteolytic systems where an input of choice modulates the protease activity and thereby the activity of its substrates. However, all proteolytic systems developed so far have relied on the direct proteolytic cleavage of their effectors. Here, we propose a new concept where protease biosensors with a tunable input uncage a signaling peptide, which can then transmit a signal to an allosteric protein reporter. We demonstrate that both the cage and the regulatory domain of the reporter can be constructed from the same peptide-binding domain, such as calmodulin. To demonstrate this concept, we constructed a proteolytic rapamycin biosensor and demonstrated its quantitative actuation on fluorescent, luminescent, and electrochemical reporters. Using the latter, we constructed sensitive bioelectrodes that detect the messenger peptide release and quantitatively convert the recognition event into electric current. We discuss the application of such systems for the construction of in vitro sensory arrays and in vivo signaling circuits.

Abstract
Protein biosensors play an increasingly important role as reporters for research and clinical applications. Here we present an approach for the construction of fully integrated but modular electrochemical biosensors based on the principal component of glucose monitors PQQ-glucose dehydrogenase (PQQ-GDH). We designed allosterically regulated circular permutated variants of PQQ-GDH that show large (>10 fold) changes in enzymatic activity following intramolecular scaffolding of the newly generated N- and C termini by ligand binding domain:ligand complexes. The developed biosensors demonstrated sub-nanomolar affinities for small molecules and proteins in colorimetric and electrochemical assays. For instance, the concentration of Cyclosporine A could be measured in 1 ml of undiluted blood with the same accuracy as the leading diagnostic technique that uses 50 times more sample. We further used this biosensor to construct highly porous gold bioelectrodes capable of robustly detecting concentrations of Cyclosporine A as low as 20 pM and retained functionality in samples containing at least 60% human serum. These experiments suggest that the developed biosensor platform is generalizable and may be suitable for Point-of-Care diagnostics.

Abstract
Alginate composite hydrogels that exhibit highly sensitive stimuli-responsive behavior were used for signal-stimulated release of pre-loaded insulin. The alginate pores, particularly located at the periphery, were blocked by interpenetration of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) cross-linked with 1,3-benzenediboronic acid (IPN), thus, significantly reducing uncontrolled leakage of the entrapped biomolecules. The beads were loaded with insulin and various enzymes mimicking different Boolean logic gates (AND, OR, NOR, IMP, INHIB). The enzymes were activated with biologically relevant input signals applied in four logic combinations: 0,0; 1,0; 0,1; 1,1, having the production of H2 O2 as the result of the biocatalytic reactions. The "successful" combination of the input signals leading to the H2 O2 production was different for different logic gates, following the corresponding truth tables of the logic gates. When H2 O2 was produced, boronate ester bonds were oxidized and the IPN was irreversibly degraded, thus re-opening the original pores of the hydrogel. This process allowed release of insulin from the alginate beads. The smart soft material that we have developed tackled well-known limitations of these systems and it may prove valuable in future medical diagnostics or treatments.

Abstract
Enzymes immobilized on a nano-structured surface were used to switch the activity of one enzyme by a local pH change produced by another enzyme. Immobilized amyloglucosidase (AMG) and trypsin were studied as examples of the pH-dependent switchable "target enzymes." The reactions catalyzed by co-immobilized urease or esterase were increasing or decreasing the local pH, respectively, thus operating as "actuator enzymes." Both kinds of the enzymes, producing local pH changes and changing biocatalytic activity with the pH variation, were orthogonal in terms of the biocatalytic reactions; however, their operation was coupled with the local pH produced near the surface with the immobilized enzymes. The "target enzymes" (AMG and trypsin) were changed reversibly between the active and inactive states by applying input signals (urea or ester, substrates for the urease or esterase operating as the "actuator enzymes") and washing them out with a new portion of the background solution. The developed approach can potentially lead to switchable operation of several enzymes, while some of them are inhibited when the others are activated upon receiving external signals processed by the "actuator enzymes." More complex systems with branched biocatalytic cascades can be controlled by orthogonal biocatalytic reactions activating selected pathways and changing the final output.

Abstract
Biocatalytic activity of amyloglucosidase (AMG), immobilized on superparamagnetic nanoparticles, is dynamically and reversibly activated or inhibited by applying a magnetic field. The magnetic field triggers aggregation/deaggregation of magnetic particles that are also functionalized with urease or esterase enzymes. These enzymes produce a local pH change in the vicinity of the particles changing the AMG activity.

Abstract
The Implication (IMPLY) and Inhibition (INHIB) Boolean logic gates were realized using switchable chimeric pyrroloquinoline quinone-dependent glucose dehydrogenase (PQQ-GDH-Clamp) containing a fused affinity clamp unit recognizing a signal-peptide. The second component of the logic gate was the wild-type PQQ-glucose dehydrogenase working cooperatively with the PQQ-GDH-Clamp enzyme. The IMPLY and INHIB gates were realized using the same enzyme composition activated with differently defined input signals, thus representing reconfigurable logic systems. The logic gates were first tested while operating in a solution with optical analysis of the output signals. Then, the enzymes were immobilized on a buckypaper electrode for electrochemical transduction of the output signals. The switchable modified electrodes mimicking the IMPLY or INHIB logic gates were integrated with an oxygen-reducing electrode modified with bilirubin oxidase to operate as a biofuel cell activated/inhibited by various input signal combinations processed either by IMPLY or INHIB logic gates. The switchable biofuel cell was used as a self-powered device triggering molecule release function controlled by the logically processed molecule signals.

Abstract
The construction of allosteric protein switches is a key goal of synthetic biology. Such switches can be compiled into signaling systems mimicking information and energy processing systems of living organisms. Here we demonstrate construction of a biocatalytic electrode functionalized with a recombinant chimeric protein between pyrroloquinoline quinone-dependent glucose dehydrogenase and calmodulin. This electrode could be activated by calmodulin-binding peptide and showed a high bioelectrocatalytic current (ca. 300 μA) due to efficient direct electron transfer. In order to expand the types of inputs that can be used to activate the developed electrode, we constructed a caged version of calmodulin-binding peptide that could be proteolytically uncaged using a protease of choice. Finally, the complexity of the switchable bioelectrochemical system was further increased by the use of almost any kind of molecule/biomolecule or electronic signal, unequivocally proving the orthogonality of the aforementioned system.
