Exogenous Co-Reactant-Free Electrochemiluminescent Biosensor for Ratiometric Measurement of -Glucosidase Based on a ZIF-67-Regulated Hydrogen-Bonded Organic Framework
ACS sensors(2024)
Abstract
The development of highly sensitive and selective analytical approaches for monitoring enzymatic activity is critical for disease diagnosis and biomedical research. Herein, we develop an exogenous co-reactant-free electrochemiluminescence (ECL) biosensor for the ratiometric measurement of alpha-glucosidase (alpha-Glu) based on a zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-67)-regulated pyrene-based hydrogen-bonded organic framework (HOF-101). Target alpha-Glu can hydrolyze maltose to alpha-d-glucose, which can subsequently react with GO x to produce gluconic acid. The resultant gluconic acid can dissolve ZIF-67, leading to the recovery of the HOF-101 cathodic ECL signal and the decrease of the luminol anodic ECL signal. The long-range ordered structure of HOF-101 can speed up charge transfer, resulting in a stable and strong cathodic ECL signal. Moreover, ZIF-67 can not only efficiently quench the ECL signal of HOF-101 due to ECL resonance energy transfer between HOF-101 and ZIF-67 as well as the steric hindrance effect of ZIF-67 but also enhance the anodic ECL emission of luminol in dissolved O-2 system because of its ordered and porous crystalline structure and the atomically dispersed Co2+. Notably, HOF-101 possesses a higher ECL efficiency (32.22%) compared with the Ru(bpy)(3) (2+) standard. Importantly, this ratiometric ECL biosensor shows high sensitivity (a detection limit of 0.19 U L-1) and a broad linear range (0.2-50 U L-1). This biosensor can efficiently eliminate systematic errors and enhance detection reliability without the involvement of exogenous co-reactants, and it displays good assay performance in human serum samples, holding great promise in biomedical research studies.
