Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application relates to an aggregation-induced electrochemiluminescence microcystin-LR sensing platform based on a supramolecular organic framework, and provides a preparation and detection method of the platform. Specifically, the application relates to the preparation of the aggregation-induced electrochemiluminescence microcystin-LR sensing platform based on the supramolecular organic framework and the detection method of the aggregation-induced electrochemiluminescence microcystin-LR sensing platform based on the supramolecular organic framework. The application belongs to the field of analytical chemistry. BACKGROUND

[0002] Cyanobacteria, as oxygenic photosynthetic autotrophic prokaryotes, are widely distributed in global aquatic ecosystems, and the cyanobacterial toxins produced by the cyanobacteria pose a serious threat to drinking water safety. Among them, microcystin-LR (MC-LR) produced by microcystis is particularly harmful. Microcystin-LR (MC-LR) belongs to the cyclic heptapeptide hepatotoxin, and can selectively accumulate in human liver cells through organic anion transporting polypeptides (OATPs). Therefore, it is crucial to develop a novel, simple, sensitive and efficient analysis method for detecting the content of microcystin-LR in the environment. In recent years, electrochemiluminescence (ECL) is a luminescence process triggered by an electrochemical reaction, which can induce the generation of an excited state substance. ECL can realize high-sensitivity detection and rapid analysis of the detected substance, and has broad application prospects in cell monitoring, nucleic acid detection and other fields. Aggregation-induced electrochemiluminescence (AIECL) is an extension of the aggregation-induced luminescence mechanism in the field of electrochemiluminescence. The AIECL system has the potential to exhibit enhanced luminescence characteristics through solution monomer polymerization, and its representative systems include pi-conjugated coumarin derivatives, siloxane-based framework structures and tetraphenyl ethylene structures. Based on this, the application designs an aggregation-induced electrochemiluminescence microcystin-LR sensing platform based on a supramolecular organic framework for the detection of microcystin-LR (MC-LR). In the application, the AIECL strategy of host-guest recognition and supramolecular constraint enhancement is adopted, and CB[8] is selected as the host molecule. Through the host-guest combination effect, the molecular motion of TPE-CEPy is limited, and a TPE-CEPy@CB[8] composite system is successfully constructed. The material is constructed based on the guest-host recognition mechanism, and the luminescence efficiency and stability of the AIECL are significantly improved. In the biosensing design, Zn 2+The activated DNase (S)-specific cleavage function competes with MC-LR for aptamer (Apt)-triggered intensity "on-off-on" mechanism, establishing a highly specific recognition strategy. When MC-LR is present in sufficient quantities, its strong binding to the aptamer inhibits DNase production, thereby suppressing the ECL intensity pathway. Conversely, under conditions of insufficient MC-LR concentration, the DNase cleavage reaction is reactivated, triggering intensity amplification, thus achieving dynamic regulation of ECL intensity and significantly improving the sensitivity and reliability of MC-LR detection. Summary of the Invention

Then, the solution was magnetically stirred at 20°C for 24 hours to ensure complete dispersion and self-assembly. The orange color of the solution can be used as a visual indicator of dissolution and complex formation. (2) Preparation of an aggregation-induced electrochemiluminescence microcystin-LR sensing platform based on a supramolecular organic framework 1) Polish the glassy carbon electrode with a diameter of 4 mm using alumina polishing powder of 1.0 mm, 0.3 mm and 0.05 mm respectively, and rinse it clean with ultrapure water; 2) Drop 10-20 µL of TPE-CEPy@CB[8] onto the electrode surface and let it air dry at room temperature; 3) Add 8-15 μL of H0-MB solution to the electrode surface and incubate at 4 °C for 12 hours; 4) Containing LST, F and Zn 2+ 20-40 μL of the reaction mixture of (1 M) (pretreated at 37℃ for 2 hours) was added to the modified electrode surface and incubated at 4℃ for 2 hours to complete the biosensor assembly.

When MC-LR is present in sufficient quantities, its strong binding to the aptamer inhibits DNase production, thereby suppressing the ECL intensity pathway. Conversely, under conditions of insufficient MC-LR concentration, the DNase cleavage reaction is reactivated, triggering intensity amplification, thus achieving dynamic regulation of ECL intensity and significantly improving the sensitivity and reliability of MC-LR detection.
