[email protected] ABSTRACT: Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) as a primary energy source plays an unique role in the regulation of all cellular events. The necessity to detect ATP requires sensitive and accurate quantitative analytical strategies. Herein, we present our study of developing a MoS2 nanosheet-enhanced aptasensor for fluorescence polarization-based ATP detection. A bifunctional DNA strand was designed to consist of chimeric aptamers that recognize and capture ATP and berberine, a fluorescence enhancer. In the absence of ATP, the DNA strand bound to berberine will be hydrolyzed when Exonuclease I (Exo I) is introduced, releasing berberine as a result. On the contrary, when ATP is present, ATP aptamer folds into a G-quadruplex structure, thus the complex can resist degradation by Exo I to maintain berberine for fluorescent detection purpose. In addition, to magnify the fluorescence polarization (FP) signal, MoS2 nanosheets were also adopted in the system. This nanosheets-enhanced FP strategy is simple and facile which does not require traditional dye-labeled DNA strands and complex operation steps. The developed fluorescence polarization aptasensor showed high sensitivity for the quantification of ATP with a detection limit of 34.4 nM, performing well both in buffer solution and in biological samples.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Design and Optimization of Chimeric Aptamers. Berberine oligomer-specific DNA aptamer was identified by the Pei et al. with an improved affinity chromatography-based SELEX, which has great potential in a variety of fluorescent biosensor applications.41 Wei et al. developed a label-free fluorescent aptasensor for detecting ATP using berberine as the fluorescence probe.26 Inspired by these reports, a bifunctional DNA strand that combines BBA and ABA was designed to detect ATP. Taking berberine as the fluorescence reporter, the experiment results showed that the conjugated chimeric DNA, BBA-ABA, has the maximum intensity of emission compared with ABA and BBA (Figure S1), indicating feasibility of our fluorescent strategy. Exo I preferentially hydrolyze ssDNA from its 3′ in a specific manner. The designed BBA-ABA ssDNA has a random coil structure and it maintains in this structure when berberine is introduced and captured, with intensified fluorescence emission of berberine at 523 nm. In the absence of ATP, the BBAABA was digested by Exo I, making the fluorescence intensity weakened. While when ATP is present, the ABA aptamer on 3′ prime of BBA-ABA bound specifically to its target, switching its secondary structure from random coil to G-quadruplex, which can resist attack from Exo I. This makes the fluorescence probe berberine remain bound to BBA, keeping its en-

Further study showed that the difference of enhancement ef-

from GO than MoS2.

Next, the amount of the MoS2 nanosheets was optimized to maximize the assay sensitivity with FP method. Too low concentration was insufficient to adsorb the berberine-DNA complex on the MoS2 surface, while excess amount of MoS2 nanosheets would result in the attachment of berberine-Gquadruplex complex on redundant nanomaterials. The ΔFP value of this sensor platform enhanced with gradually increasing the concentration of MoS2 nanosheets from 0 to 5.33 μg

Hence, 5.33 μg mL-1 MoS2 was chosen as the optimal amount for next experiments. Optimization of the Assay Conditions. To further achieve the highest sensitivity of ATP detection, a series of other experimental conditions was optimized for fluorescence assay and FP assay. It was found that Mg2+ concentration and NaCl concentration could affect signals of this aptasensor. The maximum ΔFI and ΔFP were both obtained following the addition

Although comparison of ΔFPs showed promising results, it is worth noting that absolute value of FP decreases with addition of ATP, with or without MoS2 nanosheets presence. When absence of ATP, the rotation of berberine probe was depended upon its entirety through the van der Waals force and π-π stacking interactions. On the contrary, lower FP was obtained
