Abstract
Hypochlorous acid (HClO), a significant reactive oxygen species in biological systems, plays a vital role in both physiological and pathological processes. Irregular HClO concentration changes can cause diseases like inflammation, cardiovascular disorders, and neurodegenerative conditions. Thus, creating a method for fast and sensitive ClO− detection is essential for biomedicine and bioassays. This study introduces an innovative fluorescent biosensor for ClO− detection, using a DNA aptamer mimic of green fluorescent protein (DMGFP). By integrating DMGFP with phosphorothioate-modified block DNA, the biosensor achieves a low detection limit of 90.3 nM, with high specificity and a streamlined, cost-effective design. It allows for rapid ClO− analysis in complex biological samples. The method's efficacy was confirmed in tears, urine, and the RVLM tissue of SIH rats, underscoring its clinical and physiological relevance. Additionally, the biosensor demonstrates significant potential in fluorescence imaging, offering a powerful tool for studying oxidative stress-related conditions and disease diagnosis.
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.
