Ratiometric Fluorescent Metal–Organic Framework Biosensor for Ultrasensitive Detection of Acrylamide
2022
Acrylamide is a neurotoxin and carcinogen that forms during the thermal processing of food, inflicting irreversible harm to human health. Herein, a ratiometric fluorescence biosensor based on a 6-carboxyfluorescein-labeled aptamer (FAM-ssDNA) and porphyrin metal–organic framework (PCN-224) was developed. PCN-224 exhibits strong adsorption capacity for FAM-ssDNA and also quenches the fluorescence of FAM-ssDNA via fluorescence resonance energy transfer and photoinduced electron transfer. FAM-ssDNA hybridizes with complementary DNA to form double-stranded DNA (FAM-dsDNA), which is liberated from the PCN-224 surface, resulting in fluorescence recovery. However, the intrinsic fluorescence of the ligand remains unchanged. Acrylamide can create an adduct with FAM-ssDNA and inhibit the hybridization of FAM-dsDNA, thus realizing ratiometric sensing of acrylamide. The proposed biosensor displays excellent detection performance from 10 nM∼0.5 mM with a limit of detection of 1.9 nM. In conclusion, a fabricated biosensor was successfully applied to detect acrylamide in thermally processed food, and the results were consistent with those of high-performance liquid chromatography.
