Abstract
Rapid and simple nucleic acid detection is significant for disease diagnosis and pathogen screening, especially under specific conditions. However, achieving highly sensitive and specific nucleic acid detection to meet the time and equipment demand remains technologically challenging. In this study, we proposed a magnetic separation enhanced colorimetry biosensor based on a toehold-containing three-way junction (TWJ) induced multiple isothermal exponential amplification and the CRISPR/Cas14a (C-TEC) biosensor. The TWJ template was designed as a Y-X-Y structure. In the presence of the target, the formation of toehold-containing TWJ complex induced primer extension, leading to the generation of amplified single-stranded DNA; this amplified DNA could then bind to either the free TWJ template for EXPAR reaction or the toehold of the TWJ complex for toehold-mediated strand displacement, thereby enabling the recycling of the target. The amplification products could trigger CRISPR/Cas14a for efficient trans-cleavage and release the magnetically bound gold nanoparticle probes for colorimetry detection. Using Mycobacterium tuberculosis 16S rDNA as the target, the proposed C-TEC could detect 16S rDNA down to 50 fM by the naked eye and 20.71 fM by UV-vis detector at 520 nm within 90 min under optimal conditions. We successfully applied this biosensor to clinical isolates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. In addition, the C-TEC biosensor also showed feasibility for the detection of RNA viruses. In conclusion, the proposed C-TEC is a convenient, fast, and versatile platform for visual detection of pathogen DNA/RNA and has potential clinical applications.

Abstract
In this work, PtPd nanoparticles functionalized porphyrin metal-organic framework nanoenzymes (PtPd@PCN-224 nanoenzymes) are exploited as signal amplification tags to fabricate a rapid and ultrasensitive sensitive CRISPR/Cas14a-based electrochemical biosensor for Burkholderia pseudomallei (B. pseudomallei) specific DNA sequences detection. The prepared PtPd@PCN-224 nanoenzymes not only catalyze the reduction peak current of H2O2 to obtain a strong electrochemical signal output, but also provide massive active sites for the assembly of nucleic acids by Zr-O-P bonds. Besides, the designed target-activated CRISPR/Cas14a is able to recognize the target DNA sequences and further trigger the trans-cleavage of ssDNA for signal amplification. Benefiting from the target-activated CRISPR/Cas14a and PtPd@PCN-224 nanoenzymes, the developed electrochemical biosensor for B. pseudomallei DNA detection exhibits high sensitivity with detection of limit down to 12.8 aM and excellent specificity for distinguishing non-targeted bacteria. Moreover, the CRISPR/Cas14a-based electrochemical detection platform can also apply for other pathogenic bacteria diagnostic by well-designing sgRNA for target sequence recognition, possessing high flexibility and versatility in clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
Selective and sensitive detection of microcystin-LR (MC-LR) is of vital importance because of its high toxicity and broad distribution. Herein, a novel and versatile fluorescence sensor (Cas14-pMOFs fluorescence sensor) was developed by combining the CRISPR/Cas14a system with a 2D porphyrin metal-organic framework nanosheets (2D-pMOFs) for MC-LR determination. The designed CRISPR/Cas14a system was activated by the unbound complementary DNA (cDNA), which was positively correlated with MC-LR concentration. Furthermore, the activated Cas14a protein was utilized to indiscriminately cleave the FAM-labeled single-stranded DNA (ssDNA-FAM), which was pre-absorbed on Cu-TCPP(Fe) nanosheets. Because of the desorption of the cleaved ssDNA-FAM, the pre-quenched fluorescence signal was recovered. Owing to the excellent performance in quantifying cDNA using this Cas14-pMOFs fluorescence sensor with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.12 nM, this Cas14-pMOFs fluorescence sensor was able to detect MC-LR in a range from 50 pg/mL to 1 μg/mL with the LOD of 19 pg/mL. This work not only provided a new insight for the exploration of fluorescence sensors based on 2D-pMOFs coupled with CRISPR/Cas14a, but also, demonstrated its universality in both nucleic acid and non-nucleic acid targets determination.
