Herein we report a general and novel strategy for high-throughput photoelectrochemical (PEC) enzymatic bioanalysis on the basis of enzyme-initiated quinone-chitosan conjugation chemistry (QCCC). Specifically, the strategy was illustrated by using a model quinones-generating oxidase of tyrosinase (Tyr) to catalytically produce 1,2-bezoquinone or its derivative, which can easily and selectively be conjugated onto the surface of the chitosan deposited PbS/NiO/FTO photocathode via the QCCC. Upon illumination, the covalently attached quinones could act as electron acceptors of PbS quantum dots (QDs), improving the photocurrent generation and thus allowing the elegant probing of Tyr activity. Enzyme cascades, such as alkaline phosphatase (ALP)/Tyr and β-galactosidase (Gal)/Tyr, were further introduced into the system for the successful probing of the corresponding targets. This work features not only the first use of QCCC in PEC bioanalysis but also the separation of enzymatic reaction from the photoelectrode as well as the direct signal recording in a split-type protocol, which enables quite convenient and high-throughput detection as compared to previous formats. More importantly, by using numerous other oxidoreductases that involve quinones as reactants/products, this protocol could serve as a common basis for the development of a new class of QCCC-based PEC enzymatic bioanalysis and further extended for general enzyme-labeled PEC bioanalysis of versatile targets.
在此,我们基于酶引发的醌-壳聚糖偶联化学(QCCC)报告了一种用于高通量光电化学(PEC)酶分析的通用且新颖的策略。具体而言,该策略通过使用酪氨酸酶(Tyr)的模型醌生成氧化酶来催化生成 1,2-苯醌或其衍生物,然后通过 QCCC 将其容易且选择性地偶联到沉积在 PbS/NiO/FTO 光阴极上的壳聚糖表面上。在光照下,共价连接的醌可以作为 PbS 量子点(QDs)的电子受体,从而提高光电流的产生,从而可以优雅地探测 Tyr 活性。进一步将酶级联反应(例如碱性磷酸酶(ALP)/Tyr 和β-半乳糖苷酶(Gal)/Tyr)引入到该系统中,以成功探测相应的靶标。这项工作不仅首次将 QCCC 用于 PEC 生物分析,而且还将酶反应与光电极分离,并在分体式方案中直接记录信号,与以前的格式相比,这使得检测更加方便和高通量。更重要的是,通过使用涉及醌作为反应物/产物的许多其他氧化还原酶,该方案可以作为基于 QCCC 的新型 PEC 酶生物分析的开发的通用基础,并进一步扩展到各种目标的通用酶标记 PEC 生物分析。
