Therefore, development of sensitive methods for protease detection in clinical samples is highly desired for disease diagnosis. Herein, we report an ultrasensitive and selective CRISPR-Cas12a based fluorescent assay for trypsin activity measurement. By taking advantage of the signal amplification brought by a unique magnetic bead-gold nanoparticle assembly, which carries the peptide substrate and tens to hundreds of DNA molecules per peptide molecule, trypsin can be detected with a limit of detection reaching as low as 0.13 ng/mL. Furthermore, the sensor selectivity study was performed by examining several biomolecules commonly present in biological samples, including bovine serum albumin (BSA), human serum albumin (HSA), DNase, RNase, chymotrypsin, elastase, and thrombin. Moreover, trypsin inhibition and serum sample analysis were successfully carried out. Given the ultrahigh sensitivity, the CRISPR-based trypsin activity assay developed in this work can be used as a generic platform for developing sensors for other proteases, offering the potential as a noninvasive/minimally invasive tool for clinical diagnosis.</p>","PeriodicalId":2,"journal":{"name":"ACS Applied Bio Materials","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144309235","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Synergistic enhancement was achieved by incorporating a coreactant accelerator through energy transfer between dual luminophores, g-C<sub>3</sub>N<sub>4</sub> and Hf-MOF. In addition, a sandwich-type ECL immunosensor was developed for the ultrasensitive detection of procalcitonin (PCT), in which the primary antibody was labeled with the g-C<sub>3</sub>N<sub>4</sub>@Au nanoparticles that immobilized on an electrode surface and the secondary antibody was labeled with Hf-MOF. Apart from a luminophore, Hf-MOF also acted as a coreactant accelerator, catalyzing the generation of sulfate radical anions (SO<sub>4</sub><sup>•-</sup>) by reactive oxygen and potassium persulfate. Furthermore, Hf-MOF acted as an acceptor of energy transfer of the luminophore intermediate g-C<sub>3</sub>N<sub>4</sub>, which greatly enhances the ECL signal. The ECL intensities of Hf-MOF/g-C<sub>3</sub>N<sub>4</sub>/S<sub>2</sub>O<sub>8</sub><sup>2-</sup> were 2.3 and 4.4 times higher than the ECL intensities of the Hf-MOF/S<sub>2</sub>O<sub>8</sub><sup>2-</sup> and g-C<sub>3</sub>N<sub>4</sub>/S<sub>2</sub>O<sub>8</sub><sup>2-</sup> systems, respectively. The response signal of the ECL immunosensor showed a good linear relationship with 10 fg/mL-100 ng/mL PCT, showing a detection limit of 3.3 fg/mL, which was much lower than of the reported method. The proposed method is feasible for the rapid identification and detection of systemic bacterial infections and for the prevention of abuse of antibiotics.</p>","PeriodicalId":2,"journal":{"name":"ACS Applied Bio Materials","volume":" ","pages":"4937-4945"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144100958","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
