Excessive levels of E2 can cause an adverse effect on the human endocrine systems. Therefore, an efficient and sensitive method for the analysis of E2 is required. Herein, based on the specific capture of aptamer, the digestion of Exonuclease III, and efficient amplification of isothermal exponential amplification reaction (EXPAR), a highly sensitive and selective strategy is established for E2 analysis. E2 binds to the aptamer due to their high affinity, preventing the complementary DNA (cDNA) of the aptamer from hybridizing with it. Thus, the cDNA remains unbound and freely available in the solution. Then, Exonuclease III digests the cDNA-aptamer complex, leaving the free cDNA intact. cDNA serves as primers to trigger EXPAR with the help of Bst 2.0 WarmStart DNA polymerase and Nt.BstNBI nicking enzyme, achieving sensitive detection of E2. Without E2, cDNA hybridizes with the aptamer to form double-stranded DNA, which is degraded by Exonuclease III. As a result, the amplification reaction fails to initiate. The approach shows a linear range of 100 aM-10 pM, spanning 5 orders of magnitude, with the limit of detection as low as 36 aM. In addition, the selectivity and reproducibility are great, and the recoveries in tap water and milk ranges from 99.4 % to 117.3 %, suggesting good practicability.

Detection of certain small molecules based on DNA/RNA mimics of green fluorescent protein (GFP mimics) has been preferentially constructed due to its high specificity, excellent optical properties, and high stability. However, there is a dearth of functional GFP mimics that can be directly activated by these targets. Herein, an H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>-activated DNA mimic of GFP (HDG) has been proposed through primarily remolding the GFP chromophore derivative named 3,5-difluoro-4-hydroxybenzylidene imidazolidinone (DFHBI) with phenyl boronate group (PB-DFHBI) and then forming the HDG by adding the truncated Lettuce DNA aptamer (tLet-10) to reveal the specifically fluorescent response toward H₂O₂. In this sensing method, the fluorescence of PB-DFHBI is markedly declined with PB group lock by restricting its intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) process, while the presence of H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> will activate a cascade reaction to remove the PB group in HDG, resulting in a high-contrast and turn-on fluorescence. The unique emitting mechanism triggered by H₂O₂ endows HDG with stable, rapid response, high sensitivity, and specific detection performances, exhibiting a low detection limit of 0.59 μM and a comprehensive linear range of 1–1000 μM. Moreover, HDG was allowed to realize the reliable and accurate analysis of spiked H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> in beverage and water samples.
