PG - 30580-30597 LID - 10.1021/acsomega.1c04319 [doi] AB - Reliable, label-free, and ultraselective detection of Pb(2+) and Ag(+) ions is of paramount importance for toxicology assessment, human health, and environmental protection. Herein, we present a novel recyclable fluorometric aptasensor based on the Pb(2+) and Ag(+)-induced structural change of the GC-rich ssDNA (guanine cytosine-rich single-strand DNA) and the differences in the fluorescence emission of acridine orange (AO) from random coil to highly stable G-quadruplex for the detection of Pb(2+) and Ag(+) ions. More interestingly, the construction and principle of the aptasensor explore that the GC-rich ssDNA and AO can be strongly adsorbed on the CaSnO(3)@PDANS surface through the pi-pi stacking, hydrogen-bonding, and metal coordination interactions, which exhibit high fluorescence quenching and robust holding of the GC-rich ssDNA. However, in the presence of Pb(2+), the specific G-rich ssDNA segment could form a stable G-quadruplex via G4-Pb(2+) coordination and capture of AO from the CaSnO(3)@PDANS surface resulting in fluorescence recovery (70% enhancement). The subsequent addition of Ag(+) ion induces coupled cytosine base pairs in another segment of ssDNA to get folded into a duplex structure together with the G-quadruplex, which highly stabilizes the G-quadruplex resulting in the maximum recovery of AO emission (99% enhancement). When the Cys@Fe(3)O(4)Nps are added to the above solution, the sensing probe was restored by complexation between the Cys in the Cys@Fe(3)O(4)Nps and target metal ions, resulting in the fabrication of a highly sensitive recyclable Pb(2+) and Ag(+) assay with detection limits of 0.4 and 0.1 nM, respectively. Remarkably, the Cys@Fe(3)O(4)Nps can also be reused after washing with EDTA. The utility of the proposed approach has great potential for detecting the Pb(2+) and Ag(+) ions in environmental samples with interfering contaminants. CI - (c) 2021 The Authors.
