PMID- 38029390 OWN - NLM STAT- MEDLINE DCOM- 20231216 LR - 20231216 IS - 1520-5118 (Electronic) IS - 0021-8561 (Linking) VI - 71 IP - 49 DP - 2023 Dec 13 TI - Fluorescence Polarization Assay Based on a New Recognition Motif QepA for the One-Step Detection of Fluoroquinolones in Eggs. PG - 19749-19759 LID - 10.1021/acs.jafc.3c03526 [doi] AB - A recognition motif is vital in determining the specificity and sensitivity of the fluorescence polarization assay (FPA) for detecting chemical contaminants in food. Four candidates (Gyrase, GyrBA, TopIV, and QepA) were prepared for this study. The applicability of QepA was confirmed through DNA cleavage assay, inhibition effects, and mechanism investigations using molecular docking, compared to other counterparts. Finally, a novel FPA based on QepA and a CIP-FITC tracer for the detection of fluoroquinolones (FQs) in eggs was developed. The limits of detection (LODs) for eight fluoroquinolones ranged from 2.2 to 5.1 ng g(-1), with enrofloxacin, danofloxacin, and difloxacin meeting the maximum residue limits (MRLs). The spiked recoveries ranged from 65.8 to 103.6% with coefficients of variation (CVs) of 5.4-12.8%. Therefore, a new recognition motif for FQs that did not belong to conventional antibodies was identified, and QepA-based FPA could be a potential tool for rapid, homogeneous, and sensitive monitoring of the residue of FQs in eggs.
