The global supply of fluoropolymers and fluorinated solvents is decreasing due to environmental concerns regarding polyfluoroalkyl substances. CYTOP has been used for decades primarily as a component of a femtoliter chamber array for digital bioanalysis; however, its supply has recently become scarce, increasing the urgency of fabricating a femtoliter chamber array using alternative materials. In this study, we investigated the feasibility of fabricating a femtoliter chamber array using four types of fluoropolymers in stable supply as candidate substitutes and verified their applicability for digital bioanalysis. Among these candidates, Fluorine Sealant emerged as a viable option for fabricating femtoliter chamber arrays using a conventional photolithography process. To validate its efficacy, we performed various digital bioanalysis using FP-A-based chamber arrays with model enzymes such as CRISPR-Cas, horseradish peroxidase, and β-galactosidase. The results demonstrated the similar performance to that of CYTOP, highlighting the broader utility of FP-A in digital bioanalysis. Our findings underscore the potential of FP-A to enhance the versatility of digital bioanalysis and foster the ongoing advancement of innovative diagnostic technologies., (© 2024. The Author(s).)

Horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-mediated hydrogelation, caused by the cross-linking of phenolic groups in polymers in the presence of hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ), is an effective route for bioink solidification in 3D bioprinting. Sugar beet pectin (SBP) naturally has cross-linkable phenols through the enzymatic reaction. Therefore, chemical modifications are not required, unlike the various polymers that have been used in the enzymatic cross-linking system. In this study, we report the application of SBP in extrusion-based bioprinting including HRP-mediated bioink solidification. In this system, H 2 O 2 necessary for the solidification of inks is supplied in the gas phase. Cell-laden liver lobule-like constructs could be fabricated using bioinks consisting of 10 U/mL HRP, 4.0 and 6.0 w/v% SBP, and 6.0 × 10 6 cells/mL human hepatoblastoma (HepG2) cells exposed to air containing 16 ppm of H 2 O 2 concurrently during printing and 10 min postprinting. The HepG2 cells enclosed in the printed constructs maintained their viability, metabolic activity, and hepatic functions from day 1 to day 7 of the culture, which indicates the cytocompatibility of this system. Taken together, this result demonstrates the potential of SBP and HRP cross-linking systems for 3D bioprinting, which can be applied in tissue engineering applications.

Horseradish peroxidase (HRP) is an enzyme that oxidizes pollutants from wastewater. A previous report indicated that peroxidases can have an enhancement in initial enzymatic activity in an aqueous solution of 0.26 M 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium ethyl sulfate ([EMIm][EtSO 4 ]) at neutral pH. However, the atomistic details remain elusive. In the enzymatic landscape of HRP, compound II (Cpd II) plays a key role and involves a histidine (H42) residue. Cpd II exists as oxoferryl (2a) or hydroxoferryl (2b(Fe IV )) forms, where 2a is the predominantly observed form in experimental studies. Intriguingly, the ferric 2b(Fe III ) form seen in synthetic complexes has not been observed in HRP. Here, we have investigated the structure and dynamics of HRP in pure water and aqueous [EMIm][EtSO 4 ] (0.26 M), as well as the reaction mechanism of 2a to 2b conversion using polarizable molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) calculations. When HRP is solvated in aq [EMIm][EtSO 4 ], the catalytic water displaces, and H42 directly orients over the ferryl moiety, allowing a direct proton transfer (PT) with a significant energy barrier reduction. Conversely, in neat water, the reaction of 2a to 2b follows the previously reported mechanism. We further investigated the deprotonated form of H42. Analysis of the electric fields at the active site indicates that the aq [EMIm][EtSO 4 ] medium facilitates the reaction by providing a more favorable environment compared with the system solvated in neat water. Overall, the atomic level supports the previous experimental observations and underscores the importance of favorable electric fields in the active site to promote catalysis.

Polymersomes, nanosized polymeric vesicles, have attracted significant interest in the areas of artificial cells and nanomedicine. Given their size, their visualization via confocal microscopy techniques is often achieved through the physical incorporation of fluorescent dyes, which however present challenges due to potential leaching. A promising alternative is the incorporation of molecules with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) behavior that are capable of fluorescing exclusively in their assembled state. Here, we report on the use of AIE polymersomes as artificial organelles, which are capable of undertaking enzymatic reactions in vitro. The ability of our polymersome-based artificial organelles to provide additional functionality to living cells was evaluated by encapsulating catalytic enzymes such as a combination of glucose oxidase/horseradish peroxidase (GO x /HRP) or β-galactosidase (β-gal). Via the additional incorporation of a pyridinium functionality, not only the cellular uptake is improved at low concentrations but also our platform's potential to specifically target mitochondria expands.

Single-cell spatial proteomic analysis holds great promise to advance our understanding of the composition, organization, interaction, and function of the various cell types in complex biological systems. However, the current multiplexed protein imaging technologies suffer from low detection sensitivity, limited multiplexing capacity, or are technically demanding. To tackle these issues, here, we report the development of a highly sensitive and multiplexed in situ protein profiling method using off-the-shelf antibodies. In this approach, the protein targets are stained with horseradish peroxidase (HRP) conjugated antibodies and cleavable fluorophores via click chemistry. Through repeated cycles of target staining, fluorescence imaging, and fluorophore cleavage, many proteins can be profiled in single cells in situ. Applying this approach, we successfully quantified 28 different proteins in human formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tonsil tissue, which represents the highest multiplexing capacity among the tyramide signal amplification (TSA) methods. Based on their unique protein expression patterns and their microenvironment, ∼820,000 cells in the tissue are classified into distinct cell clusters. We also explored the cell-cell interactions between these varied cell clusters and observed that different subregions of the tissue are composed of cells from specific clusters.

Daily monitoring of serum uric acid levels is very important to provide appropriate treatment according to the constitution and lifestyle of individual hyperuricemic patients. We have developed a suspension-based assay to measure uric acid by adding a sample solution to the suspension containing micro-sized particles immobilized on uricase and horseradish peroxidase (HRP). In the proposed method, the mediator reaction of uricase, HRP, and uric acid produces resorufin from Amplex red. This resorufin is adsorbed onto enzyme-immobilized micro-sized particles simultaneously with its production, resulting in the red color of the micro-sized particles. The concentration of resorufin on the small surface area of the microscopic particles achieves a colorimetric analysis of uric acid with superior visibility. In addition, ethanol-induced desorption of resorufin allowed quantitative measurement of uric acid using a 96-well fluorescent microplate reader. The limit of detection (3σ) and RSD (n = 3) were estimated to be 2.2 × 10 -2  μg/mL and ≤ 12.1%, respectively. This approach could also be applied to a portable fluorometer., (© 2024.

Encapsulation of enzymes within porous materials has shown great promise for protecting enzymes from denaturation, increasing their tolerance to harsh environments and promoting their industrialization. However, controlling the conformational freedom of the encapsulated enzymes to enhance their catalytic performance remains a great challenge. To address this issue, herein, following immobilization of GOx and HRP on a thermo-responsive porous poly(styrene-maleic-anhydride- N -isopropylacrylamide) (PSMN) membrane, a GOx-HRP@PSMN@HZIF-8 composite was fabricated by encapsulating GOx-HRP@PSMN in hollow ZIF-8 (HZIF-8) with liposome (L) as the sacrificial template. The improved conformational freedom for enzymes arising from the hollow cavity formed in ZIF-8 through the removal of L enhanced the mass transfer and dramatically promoted the catalytic activity of the composite. Interestingly, at high temperature, the coiled PN moiety in PSMN provided the confinement effect for GOx-HRP, which also significantly boosted the catalytic performance of the composites. Compared to the maximum catalytic reaction rates ( V max ) of GOx-HRP@PSMN@LZIF-8, the free enzyme and GOx-HRP@ZIF-8, the V max of the GOx-HRP@PSMN@HZIF-8 composite exhibited an impressive 17.8-fold, 10.8-fold and 6.0-fold enhancement at 37 °C, respectively. The proposed composites successfully demonstrated their potential as catalytic platforms for the colorimetric detection of glucose in a cascade reaction. This study paves a new way for overcoming the current limitations of immobilizing enzymes in porous materials and the use of smart polymers for the potential fabrication of enzyme@polymer@MOF composites with tunable conformational freedom and confinement effect.

The arsM gene is a critical biomarker for the potential risk of arsenic exposure in paddy soil. However, on-site screening of arsM is limited by the lack of high-throughput point-of-use (POU) methods. Here, a multiplex CRISPR/Cas12a microfluidic paper-based analytical device (μPAD) was constructed for the high-throughput POU analysis of arsM , with cascade amplification driven by coupling crRNA-enhanced Cas12a and horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-modified probes. First, seven crRNAs were designed to recognize arsM , and their LODs and background signal intensities were evaluated. Next, a step-by-step iterative approach was utilized to develop and optimize coupling systems, which improved the sensitivity 32 times and eliminated background signal interference. Then, ssDNA reporters modified with HRP were introduced to further lower the LOD to 16 fM, and the assay results were visible to the naked eye. A multiplex channel microfluidic paper-based chip was developed for the reaction integration and simultaneous detection of 32 samples and generated a recovery rate between 87.70 and 114.05%, simplifying the pretreatment procedures and achieving high-throughput POU analysis. Finally, arsM in Wanshan paddy soil was screened on site, and the arsM abundance ranged from 1.05 × 10 6 to 6.49 × 10 7 copies/g; this result was not affected by the environmental indicators detected in the study. Thus, a coupling crRNA-based cascade amplification method for analyzing arsM was constructed, and a microfluidic device was developed that contains many more channels than previous paper chips, greatly improving the analytical performance in paddy soil samples and providing a promising tool for the on-site screening of arsM at large scales.

Multienzyme assemblies mediated by multivalent interaction play a crucial role in cellular processes. However, the three-dimensional (3D) programming of an enzyme complex with defined enzyme activity in vitro remains unexplored, primarily owing to limitations in precisely controlling the spatial topological configuration. Herein, we introduce a nanoscale 3D enzyme assembly using a tetrahedral DNA framework (TDF), enabling the replication of spatial topological configuration and maintenance of an identical edge-to-edge distance akin to natural enzymes. Our results demonstrate that 3D nanoscale enzyme assemblies in both two-enzyme systems (glucose oxidase (GOx)/horseradish peroxidase (HRP)) and three-enzyme systems (amylglucosidase (AGO)/GOx/HRP) lead to enhanced cascade catalytic activity compared to the low-dimensional structure, resulting in ∼5.9- and ∼7.7-fold enhancements over homogeneous diffusional mixtures of free enzymes, respectively. Furthermore, we demonstrate the enzyme assemblies for the detection of the metabolism biomarkers creatinine and creatine, achieving a low limit of detection, high sensitivity, and broad detection range.

Nanozymes have been widely used as enzyme substitutes. Based on a comprehensive literature survey of 261 publications, we report the significant differences in the Michaelis-Menten constants ( K m ) between peroxidase-mimicking nanozymes and horseradish peroxidase (HRP). Further, these differences were not considered in more than 60% of the publications for analytical developments. As a result, nanozymes' catalytic activity is limited, resulting in a potentially higher limit of detection (LOD). We used a peroxidase-mimicking Au@Pt nanozyme, which has K m for TMB comparable with HRP and three orders of magnitude higher K m for H 2 O 2 . Using the Au@Pt nanozyme as a label for immunoassays, non-optimized nanozyme substrate concentrations led to 30 times higher LOD compared to optimized conditions. The results confirm the necessity of measuring nanozymes' kinetic parameters and the corresponding adjustment of substrate concentrations for highly sensitive detection.

We report a nanohybrid material obtained by non-covalent functionalization of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) with the new ligand (((1E,1'E)-(naphthalene-2,3-diylbis(azaneylylidene))bis(methaneylylidenedene)) bis(4-hydroxy-3,1-phenylene))diboronic acid (SB-dBA), rationally designed to mimic some recognition properties of biomolecules like concanavalin A, for the development of electrochemical biosensors based on the use of glycobiomolecules as biorecognition element. We present, as a proof-of-concept, a hydrogen peroxide biosensor obtained by anchoring horseradish peroxidase (HRP) at a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) modified with the nanohybrid prepared by sonication of 2.0 mg mL -1 MWCNTs and 0.50 mg mL -1 SB-dBA in N,N-dimethyl formamide (DMF) for 30 min. The hydrogen peroxide biosensing was performed at -0.050 V in the presence of 5.0 × 10 -4  M hydroquinone. The analytical characteristics of the resulting biosensor are the following: linear range between 0.175 μM and 6.12 μM, detection limit of 58 nM, and reproducibility of 2.0 % using the same nanohybrid (6 biosensors), and 9.0 % using three different nanohybrids. The sensor was successfully used to quantify hydrogen peroxide in enriched milk and human blood serum samples and in a commercial disinfector., Competing Interests: Declaration of competing interest The authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this paper., (Copyright © 2023 Elsevier B.V.

This study presents the development of a sensitive and simple enhanced ratiometric fluorescence sensing platform in the consist of CdTe quantum dots (QDs), carbon dots (CDs), and hepatitis B core antibody labeled with horseradish peroxidase (HBcAb-HRP) for the visual analysis of H 2 O 2 and glucose. The sulfur atoms in HBcAb-HRP have a strong affinity for Cd(II), which effectively enhances the fluorescence intensity of the CdTe QDs due to the generation of more radiative centers at the CdTe/Cd-SR complex. In the presence of H 2 O 2 , the Cd-S bonds are oxidized to form disulfide products and results in linear fluorescence quenching, while CDs maintain stable. Becasue glucose can be converted into H 2 O 2 with the aid of glucose oxidase, this sensing platform can also be used for analyzing glucose. The detection limits for H 2 O 2 and glucose are 2.9 μmol L -1 with RSD of 2.6% and 1.6 μmol L -1 with RSD of 2.4% respectively. In addition, under UV lamp irradiation, the orange-yellow CdTe QDs gradually quench with increasing H 2 O 2 and glucose, while the blue CDs remain unchanged. A color change from orange-yellow to blue enables a visual semi-quantitative determination of H 2 O 2 in commercial contact lens solution and glucose in human serum without any pretreatment. Thus, this CdTe QDs/CDs ratiometric sensing platform has significant potential for the rapid analysis of H 2 O 2 and glucose in actual application., Competing Interests: Declaration of Competing Interest The authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this paper., (Copyright © 2024 Elsevier B.V.

Recently, organic photoelectrochemical transistor (OPECT) bioanalysis has become a prominent technique for the high-performance detection of biomolecules. However, as a sensitive index of the OPECT, the dynamic regulation transconductance ( g m ) is still severely deficient. Herein, this work reports a new photosensitive metal-organic framework (MOF-on-MOF) heterostructure for the effective modulation of maximum g m and natural bienzyme interfacing toward choline detection. Specifically, the bidentate ligand MOF (b-MOF) was assembled onto the UiO-66 MOF (u-MOF) by a modular assembly method, which could facilitate the charge separation and generate enhanced photocurrents and offer a biophilic environment for the immobilization of choline oxidase (ChOx) and horseradish peroxidase (HRP) through hydrogen-bonded bridges. The transconductance of the OPECT could be flexibly altered by increased light intensity to maximal value at zero gate bias, and sensitive choline detection was achieved with a detection limit of 0.2 μM. This work reveals the potential of MOF-on-MOF heterostructures for futuristic optobioelectronics.

A new detection method based on the photoluminescence properties of dye-sensitized lanthanide nanoparticles (Ln NPs) was developed for enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs). In this method, the horseradish peroxidase (HRP) enzyme catalyzes the oxidation of phenol derivatives in the presence of hydrogen peroxide, providing dimers that are able to interact with the Ln NP surface and to efficiently photosensitize the Ln ions. Due to the very long emission lifetime of Ln, the time-gated detection of Ln NP luminescence allows the elimination of background noise due to the biological environment. After a comparison of the enzyme-catalyzed oxidation of various phenol derivatives, methyl 4-hydroxyphenyl acetate (MHPA) was selected as the most promising substrate, as the highest Ln emission intensity was observed following its HRP-catalyzed oxidation. After a meticulous optimization of the conditions of both the enzymatic reaction and the Ln sensitization (buffer, pH, concentration of the reactants, NP type, etc.), this new detection method was successfully implemented in a commercial insulin ELISA kit as a proof-of-concept, with an increased sensitivity compared to the commercial detection method.

In the presented study, a variety of hybrid and single nanomaterials of various origins were tested as novel platforms for horseradish peroxidase immobilization. A thorough characterization was performed to establish the suitability of the support materials for immobilization, as well as the activity and stability retention of the biocatalysts, which were analyzed and discussed. The physicochemical characterization of the obtained systems proved successful enzyme deposition on all the presented materials. The immobilization of horseradish peroxidase on all the tested supports occurred with an efficiency above 70%. However, for multi-walled carbon nanotubes and hybrids made of chitosan, magnetic nanoparticles, and selenium ions, it reached up to 90%. For these materials, the immobilization yield exceeded 80%, resulting in high amounts of immobilized enzymes. The produced system showed the same optimal pH and temperature conditions as free enzymes; however, over a wider range of conditions, the immobilized enzymes showed activity of over 50%. Finally, a reusability study and storage stability tests showed that horseradish peroxidase immobilized on a hybrid made of chitosan, magnetic nanoparticles, and selenium ions retained around 80% of its initial activity after 10 repeated catalytic cycles and after 20 days of storage. Of all the tested materials, the most favorable for immobilization was the above-mentioned chitosan-based hybrid material. The selenium additive present in the discussed material gives it supplementary properties that increase the immobilization yield of the enzyme and improve enzyme stability. The obtained results confirm the applicability of these nanomaterials as useful platforms for enzyme immobilization in the contemplation of the structural stability of an enzyme and the high catalytic activity of fabricated biocatalysts.

In this study, benzohydroxamic acid molecules were synthesized from methyl 4-amino-2-methoxy, methyl 4-amino-3-nitro, methyl 4-amino-3-methyl, and methyl 4-amino-3-chloro benzoate molecules, and the horseradish peroxidase (HRP) enzyme was purified in one step using the affinity chromatography technique for the first time. The IC 50 and K i values for the 4-amino 3-methyl benzohydroxamic acid molecule were 0.136 and 0.132 ± 0.054 μM, respectively, while the IC 50 and K i values for the 4-amino-3-nitro benzohydroxamic acid molecule were 56.00 and 51.90 ± 9.90 μM, respectively. It was found that the IC 50 and K i values for the 4-amino-3-chloro benzohydroxamic acid molecule were 218.33 and 175.67 ± 43.78 μM, respectively, whereas the IC 50 and K i values for the 4-amino-2-methoxy benzohydroxamic acid molecule were 306.00 and 218.00 ± 68.80 μM, respectively. The HRP enzyme was synthesized from 4-amino-2-methoxy hydroxamic acid column with a 35.97% yield 601.13 times, 4-amino-3-nitro hydroxamic acid column, with a 14.00% yield 404.11 times, 4-amino-3-methyl hydroxamic acid column with an 8.70% yield 394.88 times, and 4-amino-3-chloro hydroxamic acid column with a 4.48% yield 284.85 times. Thus, the HRP enzyme was purified in a single step with hydroxamic acids, and its molecular weight was found to be 44 kDa. The optimum pH was 8.0, the optimum temperature was 15°C, and the optimum ionic strength was 0.4 M for the purified HRP enzyme., (© 2023 International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Inc.)

Horseradish peroxidase (HRP) is an enzyme that is widely used in various fields. In this study, the effects of molecular hydrogen (H 2 ) on the activity and structural characteristics of HRP were investigated by employing multiple spectroscopic techniques, atomic force microscopy (AFM) and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The results demonstrated that H 2 could enhance HRP activity, especially in 1.5 mg/L hydrogen-rich water (HRW). The structural analysis results showed that H 2 might alter HRP activity by affecting the active sites, secondary structure, hydrogen bonding network, CS groups, and morphological characteristics. The MD results also confirmed that H 2 could increase the FeN bond distance in the active site, affect the secondary structure, and increase the number of hydrogen bonds. The MD results further suggested that H 2 could increase the number of salt bridges, and lengthen the SS bonds in HRP. This study primarily revealed the mechanism by which H 2 enhances the HRP activity, providing insight into the interactions between gas and macromolecular proteins. However, some of the results obtained via MD simulations still need to be verified experimentally. In addition, our study also provided a new convenient strategy to enhance enzyme activity., Competing Interests: Declaration of competing interest There are no conflicts of interest to declare., (Copyright © 2023.

Highly sensitive and facile detection of low levels of protein markers is of great significance for the early diagnosis and efficacy monitoring of diseases. Herein, aided by an efficient tyramine-signal amplification (TSA) mechanism, we wish to report a simple but ultrasensitive immunoassay with signal readout on a portable personal glucose meter (PGM). In this study, the bioconjugates of tyramine and invertase (Tyr-inv), which act as the critical bridge to convert and amplify the protein concentration information into glucose, are prepared following a click chemistry reaction. Then, in the presence of a target protein, the sandwich immunoreaction between the immobilized capture antibody, the target protein, and the horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated detection antibody is specifically performed in a 96-well microplate. Subsequently, the specifically loaded HRP-conjugated detection antibodies will catalyze the amplified deposition of a large number of Tyr-inv molecules onto adjacent proteins through highly efficient TSA. Then, the deposited invertase, whose dosage can faithfully reflect the original concentration of the target protein, can efficiently convert sucrose to glucose. The amount of finally produced glucose is simply quantified by the PGM, realizing the highly sensitive detection of trace protein markers such as the carcinoembryonic antigen and alpha fetoprotein antigen at the fg/mL level. This method is simple, cost-effective, and ultrasensitive without the requirement of sophisticated instruments or specialized laboratory equipment, which may provide a universal and promising technology for highly sensitive immunoassay for in vitro diagnosis of diseases.

Development of spatially organized structures and understanding their role in controlling kinetics of multistep chemical reactions are essential for the successful design of efficient systems and devices. While studies that showcase different types of methodologies for the spatial organization of various colloidal systems are known, design and development of well-defined hierarchical assemblies of liquid-crystal (LC) droplets and subsequent demonstration of biological reactions using such assemblies still remain elusive. Here, we show reversible and reconfigurable one-dimensional (1D) assemblies of protein-bioconjugate-sequestered monodisperse LC droplets by combining microfluidics with noninvasive acoustic wave trapping technology. Tunable spatial geometries and lattice dimensions can be achieved in an aqueous medium comprising ≈19 or 62 μm LC droplets. Different assemblies of a mixed population of larger and smaller droplets sequestered with glucose oxidase (GOx) and horseradish peroxidase (HRP), respectively, exhibit spatially localized enzyme kinetics with higher initial rates of reaction compared with GOx/HRP cascades implemented in the absence of an acoustic field. This can be attributed to the direct substrate transfer/channeling between the two complementary enzymes in close proximity. Therefore, our study provides an initial step toward the fabrication of LC-based devices for biosensing applications.

Herein, we report a novel enzymatic dimerization-induced self-assembly (e-DISA) procedure that converts alanine-tyramine conjugates into highly uniform enzyme-loaded nanoparticles (NPs) or nanocontainers by the action of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) in an aqueous medium under ambient conditions. The NP formation was possible with both enantiomers of alanine, and the average diameter could be varied from 150 nm to 250 nm (with a 5-12 % standard deviation of as-prepared samples) depending on the precursor concentration. About 60 % of the added HRP enzyme was entrapped within the NPs and was subsequently utilized for post-synthetic modification of the NPs with phenolic compounds such as tyramine or tannic acid. One-pot multi-enzyme entrapment of glucose oxidase (GOx) and peroxidase (HRP) within the NPs was also achieved. These GOx-HRP loaded NPs allowed multimodal detection of glucose, including that present in human saliva, with a limit of detection (LoD) of 740 nM through fluorimetry. The NPs exhibited good cytocompatibility and were stable to changes in pH (acidic to basic), temperature, ultrasonication, and even the presence of organic solvent (EtOH) to a certain extent, since they are stabilized by intermolecular hydrogen bonding, π-π, and CH-π interactions. The proposed e-DISA procedure can be widely expanded through the design of diverse enzyme-responsive precursors., (© 2023 Wiley-VCH GmbH.)
