However, both natural enzymes and current polyphenol oxidase-like nanozymes exhibit inadequate responsiveness to this specific configuration. To overcome this limitation, a dual \"enrichment-confinement\" strategy was proposed, effectively addressing the suboptimal detection performance for triphenolic compounds. The efficacy of this strategy relies on a switchable hydrophilic-to-hydrophobic transition: substrate enrichment is driven by extended hydrophilic chains at low temperatures, whereas heating induces hydrophobic collapse and nanoscale contraction, thereby activating spatial confinement. This conformational change not only shortens the interactive distance between the nanozyme and the substrate but also mitigates undesirable substrate aggregation. Theoretical calculations further reveal that the interactions between the nanozyme and the thermosensitive polymer are primarily governed by van der Waals forces and hydrogen bonding, which notably preserve the nanozyme intrinsic catalytic activity. This method enables the precise differentiation of tea polyphenols with a detection limit as low as 100 nM. Notably, this technology extends beyond the detection of tea triphenols, broadening the application scope of polyphenol oxidase-like nanozymes and providing a novel paradigm for the sensitive detection of diverse triphenolic compounds.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":259,"journal":{"name":"Biosensors and Bioelectronics","volume":"301 ","pages":"Article 118503"},"PeriodicalIF":10.5,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146147348","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Addressing these challenges, this study innovates a democratized and cost-effective fabrication kit that enables the SERS substrate production using commonly available materials and straightforward electrochemistry without compromising on sensitivity and reproducibility.

In this amplifier, the DNA octahedron strategically incorporates six different functional modules on each of its six vertices. The six functional modules can be divided into three groups, including two binding modules for tumor cell capture, two recognition modules for lncRNA identification, and two amplification modules for fuel-strand-driven signal amplification. The engineering of the DNA octahedron not only integrates all functional modules into a single molecular scaffold, but also provides abundant sites for the simultaneous detection of dual cancer-related lncRNAs. This integration can effectively accelerate the reaction kinetics due to the spatial confinement effect of the DNA octahedron. The assay can be completed within 80 min, and achieves limits of detection (LOD) of 0.66 fM for the MALAT1 assay and 0.93 fM for the HOTAIR assay.
