    Abstract Microbiological safety of the human environment and health needs advanced monitoring tools both for the specific detection of bacteria in complex biological matrices, often in the presence of excessive amounts of other bacterial species, and for bacteria quantification at a single cell level. Here, we discuss the existing electrochemical approaches for bacterial analysis that are based on the biospecific recognition of whole bacterial cells. Perspectives of such assays applications as emergency-use biosensors for quick analysis of trace levels of bacteria by minimally trained personnel are argued.

    Abstract Charges of redox species can critically affect both the interfacial state of DNA and electrochemistry of DNA-conjugated redox labels and, as a result, the electroanalytical performance of those systems. Here, we show that the kinetics of electron transfer (ET) between the gold electrode and methylene blue (MB) label conjugated to a double-stranded (ds) DNA tethered to gold strongly depend on the charge of the MB molecule, and that affects the performance of genosensors exploiting MB-labeled hairpin DNA beacons. Positively charged MB binds to dsDNA via electrostatic and intercalative/groove binding, and this binding allows the DNA-mediated electrochemistry of MB intercalated into the duplex and, as a result, a complex mode of the electrochemical signal change upon hairpin hybridization to the target DNA, dominated by the "on-off" signal change mode at nanomolar levels of the analyzed DNA. When MB bears an additional carboxylic group, the negative charge provided by this group prevents intimate interactions between MB and DNA, and then the ET in duplexes is limited by the diffusion of the MB-conjugated dsDNA (the phenomenon first shown in Farjami , E.

    Abstract Pathogen-associated infections represent one of the major threats to human health and require reliable methods for immediate and robust identification of pathogenic microorganisms. Here, an inexpensive cellulase-linked immunomagnetic methodology was developed for the specific and ultrasensitive analysis of bacteria at their single-cell levels within a 3 h procedure. Detection of a model bacterium, Escherichia coli, was performed in a sandwich reaction with E. coli-specific either aptamer or antibody (Ab)-modified magnetic beads (MBs) and Ab/aptamer reporter molecules linked to cellulase. The cellulase-labeled immuno-aptamer sandwich applied onto nitrocellulose-film-modified electrodes digested the film and changed its electrical conductivity. Electrode’s chronocoulometric responses at 0.3 V, in the absence of any redox indicators, allowed a single E. coli cell detection and from 1 to 4 × 10⁴ CFU mL–¹ E. coli quantification. No interference/cross-reactivity from Salmonella enteritidis, Enterobacter agglomerans, Pseudomonas putida, Staphylococcus aureus, and Bacillus subtilis was observed when the assay was performed on Ab-modified MBs, and E. coli could be quantified in tap water and milk. This electrochemically label-free methodology is sufficiently fast, highly specific, and sensitive to be used in direct in-field applications. The assay can be adapted for specific detection of other bacterial strains of either the same or different species and offers new analytical tools for fast, specific, and reliable analysis of bacteria in the clinic, food, and environment.

    Abstract The purpose of this review is to draw attention to the use of electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) for monitoring the course of enzyme-substrate interactions, in the particular case of complex systems in which two substrates participate. The determination and characterization of intra-molecular reactions, especially those that occur in the enzyme active site, is not a trivial task in chemical kinetics, typically requiring long measurement times and relatively expensive techniques such as nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), X-ray crystallography or electron microscopy (EM). However, nowadays almost all laboratories are equipped with or else have access to the ESI-MS technique. The aim of this review is to focus on the possibilities of employing even quite simple MS equipment to tackle different applications in studies of complex enzymatic systems.

    Abstract Formation of noncovalent complexes between tyrosinase from mushrooms and a cationic polyelectrolyte, polybrene (PB, poly (1,5-dimethyl-1,5-diazaundecamethyelene) bromide), was shown to activate and stabilize tyrosinase in water-ethanol mixtures. In the reaction of catechol oxidation in aqueous solutions, catalytic activity (k(cat)) of tyrosinase-PB complex ([PB]/[tyrosinase] molar ratio 100:1, per mole of polymer) in a wide range of pH was higher than that of free tyrosinase. In aqueous solutions and in water-ethanol mixtures at moderate concentrations of ethanol (10-40% v/v), the value of k(cat) of tyrosinase-PB complex exceeded the activity of free enzyme, from 1.2-2-fold, accompanied by the essential (up to 10-fold) increase in the value of the specificity constant (k(cat)/K(m)). The results are of practical importance for the construction of biocatalysts working successfully in polar organic media.

    Abstract In this paper, we pioneer application of a unique method of protein determination by coloring peptide bonds for analysis of a variety of biomolecules with different grades of purity (e.g., oligopeptides, membrane, and glycol proteins). We demonstrated that the calibration curve for all studied molecules is universal and linear within 0.1 to 1.2mg protein content range. The assay thus can be used to analyze peptides without preliminary dilutions and calibration in up to 1g/ml solutions of peptides, which is crucial for many biotechnological processes, such as development of coatings, scaffolds, and biocompatible materials.

    Abstract Bioelectrocatalytic oxidation of theophylline was studied at gold and graphite electrodes modified with microbial theophylline oxidase (ThOx), a multi-cofactor redox enzyme capable of selective oxidation of theophylline. Gold electrodes were additionally modified with self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of (-OH)- and (-NH(2))-terminated alkanethiols of different chain lengths, to achieve compatibility between ThOx and the electrode surface. On graphite, ThOx was either physically co-adsorbed with a surfactant didodecyldimethylammonium bromide (DDAB), or entrapped within an Os-redox-polymer film. At all electrodes, ThOx was bioelectrocatalytically active; direct electrochemistry of ThOx in the absence of theophylline was followed only at the SAM-modified gold electrodes. Direct electrochemistry of ThOx correlated with redox transformations of the heme domain of ThOx, with a E(o/)of -110+/-2 mV versus Ag|AgCl, at pH 7. Bioelectrocatalytic oxidation of theophylline was optimal at mixed (-OH)/(-NH(2))-terminated SAMs; co-adsorption of ThOx with DDAB improved the bioelectrocatalytic performance of the ThOx-electrode. In both cases, the response to theophylline was within the mM range. Alternatively, a reagentless ThOx-electrode based on ThOx cross-linked within the Os-redox-polymer matrix demonstrated a linear response to theophylline within the physiologically important 0.02-0.6mM (3.6-72 mg l(-1)) concentration range with a sensitivity of 52.1+/-7.8 mA cm(-2)M(-1).

    Abstract A lipase-based assay for detection of specific DNA sequences has been developed. Lipase from Candida antarctica was conjugated to DNA and captured on magnetic beads in a sandwich assay, in which the binding was dependent on the presence of a specific target DNA. For amplification and to generate a detectable readout the captured lipase was applied to an optical assay that takes advantage of the enzymatic activity of lipase. The assay applies p-nitrophenol octanoate (NPO) as the substrate and in the presence of lipase the ester is hydrolyzed to p-nitrophenolate which has a strong absorbance at 405 nm. The method provides detection a detection limit of 200 fmol target DNA and it was able to distinguish single base mismatches from the fully complementary target.
