Recent advances in fluorescent biosensors have stimulated the development of molecular detection. We herein developed a new orthogonal logic operation of fluorescent biosensor with cell-free to accomplish the detection of atrazine (ATZ) and tetrachlorobiphenyls (PCB77). The transcriptional process to generate fluorescent RNA aptamers (Mango) was controlled by molecules-probe bindings, which regulate split T7 promoter transcription switches ON or OFF. Leveraging the rapid in vitro T7 transcription process and high signal-to-background ratio of the Mango-TO1-Biotin complex, this biosensor demonstrates remarkable sensitivity in detecting ATZ and PCB77, with detection limit of 1.56 pM and 10.2 pM. Moreover, the orthogonality of four logic gates (AND, NOR, INHIBT, NIMPLY) were utilized the ATZ and PCB77 as input to construct, which could be activated by utilizing the target probe-driven association. The output of the fluorescence signal was controlled by split/intact fluorescent RNA aptamer (Mango) to achieve flexible and sensitive orthogonal operations. Significantly, the development of two-input logic gates has enabled the modular detection of various small molecules, offering a promising approach to intelligent multi-input analysis. Predictably, with the advantages of sensitivity, flexibility and easy-to-operate, this orthogonal logic gate platform holds immense potential in small molecules detection.
荧光生物传感器的最新进展推动了分子检测的发展。我们在此开发了一种新型的无细胞荧光生物传感器正交逻辑运算,以实现对阿特拉津(ATZ)和四氯联苯(PCB77)的检测。产生荧光RNA适体(Mango)的转录过程由分子-探针结合控制,分子-探针结合调节分裂T7启动子转录开关的开启或关闭。利用快速的体外T7转录过程和Mango-TO1-生物素复合物的高信噪比,该生物传感器在检测ATZ和PCB77时表现出显著的灵敏度,检测限分别为1.56 pM和10.2 pM。此外,利用四个逻辑门(与门、或非门、抑制门、蕴含门)的正交性,以ATZ和PCB77作为输入进行构建,可通过利用目标探针驱动的缔合来激活。荧光信号的输出由分裂/完整的荧光RNA适体(Mango)控制,以实现灵活且灵敏的正交运算。值得注意的是,双输入逻辑门的开发实现了对各种小分子的模块化检测,为智能多输入分析提供了一种有前景的方法。可以预见,凭借灵敏度高、灵活性强和易于操作的优点,这种正交逻辑门平台在小分子检测中具有巨大潜力。
