Abstract
Organophosphorus pesticides pose significant hazards to human health and can even cause fatalities, which necessitates the development of effective detection method. Herein, a magnetic-field-assisted fluorescence biosensing platform was designed for rapid and sensitive detection of organophosphorus pesticides. The underlying principle of this strategy was established upon complementary base pairing between aptamer-upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) and cDNA-Fe3O4@MoS2. The stable stem-loop structures could provide the structural foundation enabling the aptamers to specifically recognize target pesticides. The formation of the UCNPs-aptamer-cDNA-Fe3O4@MoS2 complex gradually decreased with increasing concentrations of target pesticides, leading to a reduction in fluorescence. Methyl parathion was successfully detected using this platform, achieving a detection limit of 0.002 ng/mL within a linear range of 0.01–100 ng/mL. The proposed method has also been validated in the medicinal and edible homologous foods with good recoveries. The platform could be expanded to detect other targets by using appropriate aptamers and cDNA, broadening its potential applications.
期刊介绍:
Spectrochimica Acta, Part A: Molecular and Biomolecular Spectroscopy (SAA) is an interdisciplinary journal which spans from basic to applied aspects of optical spectroscopy in chemistry, medicine, biology, and materials science.
The journal publishes original scientific papers that feature high-quality spectroscopic data and analysis. From the broad range of optical spectroscopies, the emphasis is on electronic, vibrational or rotational spectra of molecules, rather than on spectroscopy based on magnetic moments.
Criteria for publication in SAA are novelty, uniqueness, and outstanding quality. Routine applications of spectroscopic techniques and computational methods are not appropriate.
Topics of particular interest of Spectrochimica Acta Part A include, but are not limited to:
Spectroscopy and dynamics of bioanalytical, biomedical, environmental, and atmospheric sciences,
Novel experimental techniques or instrumentation for molecular spectroscopy,
Novel theoretical and computational methods,
Novel applications in photochemistry and photobiology,
Novel interpretational approaches as well as advances in data analysis based on electronic or vibrational spectroscopy.
