Amino acid chiral amplification using Monte Carlo dynamic.

This study investigates the stability of chiral-molecule solution phases, with a specific focus on amino acids. The model framework is based on a two-dimensional square lattice model, where individual sites may be occupied by oriented chiral molecules or structureless solvent particles. Utilizing the Glauber dynamics and statistical mechanical formalism, as previously introduced and examined by Lombardo et al., we explore the influence of temperature, amino acid concentration, enantiomeric excess, and homochiral interaction strength on nucleation mechanisms, equilibrium phase behavior, and crystal composition. Our findings offer thermodynamic insights into the chiral amplification process of amino acids, contributing to a deeper understanding of the underlying processes.

Extraction-free, immuno-RPA-CRISPR/Cas13a-based one-pot detection of glypican-3 directly from extracellular vesicles

BackgroundGlypican-3 (GPC3) is a heparan sulfate proteoglycan (HSPG) that binds to the cell membrane via glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI). It is not found in healthy adult liver but is overexpressed in human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The protein marker GPC3 on extracellular vesicles (GPC3+ EVs) is also useful for HCC detection. Nevertheless, the absence of practical and dependable quantitative techniques to evaluate EVs proteins prevents their clinical implementation. ResultsHere, using an immuno-recombinase polymerase amplification (immuno-RPA) process and dual amplification of clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-Cas13a, we firstly create an extraction-free one-pot immuno-RPA-CRISPR (opiCRISPR) for the direct and extremely sensitive detection of EVs proteins. The EVs protein-targeted detection probe is amplified by RPA to generate a long repetitive sequence containing multiple CRISPR RNA (crRNA) targeting barcodes, and the signal is further amplified by the CRISPR-Cas13a side-chain cleavage activity to generate a fluorescent signal. The results show that circulating extracellular vesicle GPC3 (eGPC3) levels are a reliable marker for GPC3 expression in tumor, opening up new avenues for tumor diagnosis. Significance and noveltyWe created an eGPC3 assay based on the CRISPR-Cas13a system, and successfully study the significance of extracellular vesicle GPC3 markers in hepatocellular carcinoma.

Genome-Wide Analysis of the Oat (Avena sativa) HSP90 Gene Family Reveals Its Identification, Evolution, and Response to Abiotic Stress.

Oats (Avena sativa) are an important cereal crop and cool-season forage worldwide. Heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) is a protein ubiquitously expressed in response to heat stress in almost all plants. To date, the HSP90 gene family has not been comprehensively reported in oats. Herein, we have identified twenty HSP90 genes in oats and elucidated their evolutionary pathways and responses to five abiotic stresses. The gene structure and motif analyses demonstrated consistency across the phylogenetic tree branches, and the groups exhibited relative structural conservation. Additionally, we identified ten pairs of segmentally duplicated genes in oats. Interspecies synteny analysis and orthologous gene identification indicated that oats share a significant number of orthologous genes with their ancestral species; this implies that the expansion of the oat HSP90 gene family may have occurred through oat polyploidization and large fragment duplication. The analysis of cis-acting elements revealed their influential role in the expression pattern of HSP90 genes under abiotic stresses. Analysis of oat gene expression under high-temperature, salt, cadmium (Cd), polyethylene glycol (PEG), and abscisic acid (ABA) stresses demonstrated that most AsHSP90 genes were significantly up-regulated by heat stress, particularly AsHSP90-7, AsHSP90-8, and AsHSP90-9. This study offers new insights into the amplification and evolutionary processes of the AsHSP90 protein, as well as its potential role in response to abiotic stresses. Furthermore, it lays the groundwork for understanding oat adaptation to abiotic stress, contributing to research and applications in plant breeding.

Efficient detection of Streptococcus pyogenes based on recombinase polymerase amplification and lateral flow strip.

This article aims to establish a rapid visual method for the detection of Streptococcus pyogenes (GAS) based on recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) and lateral flow strip (LFS). Utilizing speB of GAS as a template, RPA primers were designed, and basic RPA reactions were performed. To reduce the formation of primer dimers, base mismatch was introduced into primers. The probe was designed according to the forward primer, and the RPA-LFS system was established. According to the color results of the reaction system, the optimum reaction temperature and time were determined. Thirteen common clinical standard strains and 14 clinical samples of GAS were used to detect the selectivity of this method. The detection limit of this method was detected by using tenfold gradient dilution of GAS genome as template. One hundred fifty-six clinical samples were collected and compared with qPCR method and culture method. Kappa index and clinical application evaluation of the RPA-LFS were carried out. The enhanced RPA-LFS method demonstrates the ability to complete the amplification process within 6min at 33°C. This method exhibits a high analytic sensitivity, with the lowest detection limit of 0.908ng, and does not exhibit cross-reaction with other pathogenic bacteria. The utilization of RPA and LFS allows for efficient and rapid testing of GAS, thereby serving as a valuable method for point-of-care testing.

Design and implementation of a preset operational amplifier based on basic digital and analog hybrid circuit

In the vast landscape of electronic engineering, the indispensable roles of both analog and digital circuits are unequivocally recognized. Analog circuits, with their foundational principles, are extensively harnessed in areas encompassing audio, video, power systems, and particularly, amplifiers. Conversely, digital circuits, integral to modern-day technological advancements, are dominantly present in computing platforms, telecommunication systems, control mechanisms, and data storage infrastructures. Amplifiers, a cornerstone in analog circuit designs, principally focus on magnifying the amplitude of input signals, whether it be in terms of voltage or current.

The practicality and efficacy of this amplifier are rigorously validated via its hands-on assembly and experimental testing in a laboratory setting. Results consistently underscore the amplifiers adeptness in delivering precise signal amplification, conforming to its predetermined ratios. Such a design, rooted in its simplicity yet offering profound versatility, beckons further exploration. It stands as a beacon for potential future adaptions, tailored to suit a gamut of applications, and is poised to seamlessly dovetail into more sophisticated circuit systems.

Combination of nucleic acid amplification and CRISPR/Cas technology in pathogen detection.

Major health events caused by pathogenic microorganisms are increasing, seriously jeopardizing human lives. Currently PCR and ITA are widely used for rapid testing in food, medicine, industry and agriculture. However, due to the non-specificity of the amplification process, researchers have proposed the combination of nucleic acid amplification technology with the novel technology CRISPR for detection, which improves the specificity and credibility of results. This paper summarizes the research progress of nucleic acid amplification technology in conjunction with CRISPR/Cas technology for the detection of pathogens, which provides a reference and theoretical basis for the subsequent application of nucleic acid amplification technology in the field of pathogen detection.

Primer Design and in Silico PCR for Detection Microsatellite Locus on Cassava (Manihot esculenta) as an Early Study of Genetic Diversity of Gluten Free Food Crops

Food allergy is a hypersensitive reaction of the body to certain substances that should not be harmful. One of the basic ingredients of foods that are reported to contain allergens is wheat. The type of allergen in wheat is found in gluten, which produces the protein gliadin. The protein gliadin is thought to be the cause of allergic reactions, especially in children and people who have celiac disease. Local food ingredients such as cassava can be used as alternative raw materials for gluten-free food products. The genetic diversity test of cassava is needed to determine the genetic variation of the cassava population and the ability to adapt to natural surroundings. Study of genetic diversity of a plant population can be analyzed by DNA fingerprinting technique using microsatellite molecular markers in the PCR method. Primer selection is a crucial stage because the position of the primer attachment will determine the success of the amplification process. Primer design and in silico PCR assay were carried out as a preliminary study to design the right primer to attach to a specific template. The method used digitally with the help of the NCBI Pick Primer page and FastPCR software for PCR stimulation, knowing the position of the primer attachment, precisely determining the primer and the length of the resulting amplicon. The results obtained in the form of 5 pairs of primer sequences attached to the microsatellite polymorphic locus. The length of the amplicon produced in each primer was 167 bp, 195 bp, 155 bp, 161 bp and 112 bp. The basis of primer selection consists of the length of the primary base, the TM value (melting temperature), the percentage of GC amount and the possibility of the formation of dimers between primers.

OPTIMISATION OF PRIMER CONCENTRATION AND ANNEALING TEMPERATURE IN PCR TEST METHOD FOR AFRICAN SWINE FEVER VIRUS DETECTION

African Swine Fever disease causes high fatality number in domestic pigs. The most sensitive and specific laboratory diagnotic is PCR. The successful of PCR is determined by DNA quality, Annealing temperature, MGCl2 concentration, polymerase enzymes, primer concentration, and PCR cycles. The Annealing process requires in the right temperature. The difference annealing temperature causes amplification process failure. The specificity and sensitivity of PCR products are determined by the optimal annealing temperature. PCR optimization, variations of time, temperature, and primer concentration can be adjusted. This study was conducted by PCR testing to detect DNA ASF virus using primer concentration and the most optimum Annealing temperature. Identification of primer concentrations and annealing temperature begins to make PCR components volume 10 µl consist of 5µL PCR Master Mix, a pair of ASF primer 0.5 µl, 1µL DNA templates, and 3µL ddH2O. The PCR component is processed in a thermocycler with a temperature condition of 95°C pre-denaturation for 5 minutes, and denaturation at 94°C for 45 seconds. The gradient annealing temperature starts at 50°C, 52°C, 55°C, 59°Cm and 65°C for 1 minute. Temperature 72 ° C for synthesis 1 minute. repetition of the cycle is 34 times. Final synthesis for 72°C for 5 minutes, the storage temperature is 22°C. The result of optimization at the primer concentration of 10 µm obtained a cleared band according to the target compared to the primary concentration of 5 µm. The best annealing temperature in this research is 55 °C. If the Annealing temperature is given lower, causing primer attachment to the DNA template is not specific so non-specific PCR products are formed many bands. Conversely, if the annealing temperature is higher, causing primary attachment to the template DNA will be released so that the band that appears is very thin PCR product is not formed does not appear.

Climatic variability, spatial heterogeneity and the presence of multiple hosts drive the population structure of the pathogen Phytophthora ramorum and the epidemiology of Sudden Oak Death

We implement a population genetics approach to clarify the role that temporal and environmental variability, spatially distinct locations and different hosts may have in the epidemiology of a plant disease and in the microevolution of its causative pathogen. In California and southern Oregon (USA), the introduction of the invasive pathogen Phytophthora ramorum, causal agent of the widespread disease Sudden Oak Death (SOD), has resulted in extensive mortality of various oaks Quercus sp. and of tanoak Notholithocarpus densiflorus. Although the disease can infect over a hundred hosts, California bay laurel Umbellularia californica is the most competent transmissive host but is not lethally affected by the disease. Using population genetics data, we identify the relationship among P. ramorum populations in bay laurels, oaks and tanoaks to clarify the contribution of each host on the epidemiology of SOD and on the microevolution of its causal agent and to explore differences in population structure across sites and years. We conclude that bay laurel is the primary source for infections of both tanoak and oak, and that tanoak contributes minimally to oak infection but can infect bay laurel, creating a secondary pathogen amplification process. Overall, pathogen diversity is associated with rainfall and presence of bay laurels, which sustain the largest populations of the pathogen. Additionally, we clarify that while bay laurels are a common source of inoculum, oaks and tanoaks act as sinks that maintain host‐specific pathogen genotypes not observed in bay laurel populations. Finally, we conclude that different sites support a dominance of different pathogen genotypes. Some genotypes were widespread, while others were limited to a subset of the plots. Sites with higher bay laurel densities sustained a higher genotypic diversity of the pathogen. This work provides novel insight into the ecology and evolutionary trajectories of SOD epidemics in natural ecosystems.

Preparation and recognition mechanism study of an scFv targeting chloramphenicol for a hybridization chain reaction-CRISPR/Cas12a amplified fluoroimmunoassay

Recombinant antibody-based immunoassays have emerged as crucial techniques for detecting antibiotic residues in food samples. Developing a stable recombinant antibody production system and enhancing detection sensitivity are crucial for their biosensing applications. Here, we bioengineered a single-chain fragment variable (scFv) antibody to target chloramphenicol (CAP) using both Bacillus subtilis and HEK 293 systems, with the HEK 293-derived scFv demonstrating superior sensitivity. Computational chemistry analyses indicated that ASP-99 and ASN-102 residues in the scFv play key roles in antibody recognition, and the hydroxyl group near the benzene ring of the target molecule is critical for in antibody binding. Furthermore, we enhanced the scFv's biosensing sensitivity using an HCR-CRISPR/Cas12a amplification strategy in a streptavidin-based immunoassay. In the dual-step amplification process, detection limits for CAP in the HCR and HCR-CRISPR/Cas12a stages were significantly reduced to 55.23 pg/mL and 3.31 pg/mL, respectively. These findings introduce an effective method for developing CAP-specific scFv antibodies and also propose a multi-amplification strategy to increase immunoassay sensitivity. Additionally, theoretical studies also offer valuable guidance in CAP hapten design and genetic engineering for antibody modification.

A visualized hybrid PCR-LAMP assay for the detection of human Plasmodium species

Combining the advantages of PCR and LAMP, we described a new technique, namely PCR-LAMP, for malaria diagnosis. The whole process of DNA amplification can be completed in 35 min. This hybrid amplification technique markedly improved the sensitivity of detection compared to the classic single PCR or LAMP assay alone. PCR-LAMP assay had a detection limit of 1 copy/µL for P. knowlesi and P. ovale, 0.1 copy/µL for P. vivax, P. falciparum and P. malariae, respectively. To facilitate the endpoint detection, xylenol orange was added. Positive samples were indicated in orange while negative reactions were violet. The inclusion of xylenol orange into the LAMP reaction mix significantly reduces the post-amplification workload. Without relying on the use of specific instruments, the color changes of the amplicons could be visualized directly through the naked eye. In conclusion, PCR-LAMP poses the potential to be developed as a new malaria molecular diagnosis tool.

StratoLAMP: Label-free, multiplex digital loop-mediated isothermal amplification based on visual stratification of precipitate.

Multiplex, digital nucleic acid detections have important biomedical applications, but the multiplexity of existing methods is predominantly achieved using fluorescent dyes or probes, making the detection complicated and costly. Here, we present the StratoLAMP for label-free, multiplex digital loop-mediated isothermal amplification based on visual stratification of the precipitate byproduct. The StratoLAMP designates two sets of primers with different concentrations to achieve different precipitate yields when amplifying different nucleic acid targets. In the detection, deep learning image analysis is used to stratify the precipitate within each droplet and determine the encapsulated targets for nucleic acid quantification. We investigated the effect of the amplification reagents and process on the precipitate generation and optimized the assay conditions. We then implemented a deep-learning image analysis pipeline for droplet detection, achieving an overall accuracy of 94.3%. In the application, the StratoLAMP successfully achieved the simultaneous quantification of two nucleic acid targets with high accuracy. By eliminating the need for fluorescence, StratoLAMP represents a unique concept toward label-free, multiplex nucleic acid assays and an analytical tool with great cost-effectiveness.

Adsorption of toremifene on carboxylic acid functionalized N/B-doped coronene: DFT, AIM, solvation, docking and MD analyses

The adsorption of toremifene (TOR) on coronene (GG) and carboxylic acid-functionalized coronene (COOHGG) and doped with boron/nitrogen (BBGG/NNGG) has been researched using DFT and TD-DFT simulations. The chemical properties, AIM, and SERS were all considered when conducting this investigation. Intermolecular interactions emphasizing on reactive zones result from graphene acting as an electron acceptor and nucleophilic part of TOR acting as an electron-donor. All of the TOR-complexes had negative Gibbs free energy changes due to TOR adsorption. Enthalpy modifications also differ greatly across the doped complexes (-26.39 to −86.97 kJ/mol lin air and −65.39 to −86.97 kJ/mol in water) and GG complex (-2.55 kJ/mol in air and −40.58 kJ/mol in water). Our results show that the TOR with BBGG doped complex, with a binding energy of −55.73 kJ/mol in air, while in water adsorption with NNGG gives −90.92 kJ/mol, are the most stable complexes among the various systems under study. The GG complex has the lowest energy, followed by other doped complexes. After adsorption multiple modes of TOR have higher Raman intensities, and this is because of an amplification process brought on by the SERS effect. The presence of substituted COOHGG, BBGG and NNGG cages has a higher tendency to interact with the drug molecule than GG. From MD simulations, TOR had van der Waals energy of −147.293+/–22.370 kJ/mol, an electrostatic energy of −53.749 +/–33.825 kJ/mol, polar solvation energy of 112.531+/−30.651 kJ/mol, and a binding energy of −70.130+/–23.290 kJ/mol.

A 172 mJ, high-energy picosecond 355 nm ultraviolet laser system at 100 Hz

Abstract A high-energy picosecond 355 nm ultraviolet (UV) laser operating at 100 Hz was demonstrated. A 352 mJ, 69 ps, 1064 nm laser at 100 Hz was realized firstly by cascaded regenerative, laser diode end-pumped single-pass and side-pumped main amplifiers. The stimulated Raman scattering-based beam shaping technique, thermally induced birefringence compensation and 4f spatial filter-image relaying systems were used to maintain a relatively homogeneous beam intensity distribution during the amplification process. By using lithium triborate crystals for second- and third-harmonic generation (THG), a 172 mJ, approximately 56 ps, 355 nm UV laser was achieved with a THG conversion efficiency of 49%. To the best of our knowledge, it is the highest pulse energy of a picosecond 355 nm UV laser so far. The beam quality factor ${M}^2$ and pulse energy stability were ${M}_x^2$ =3.92, ${M}_y^2$ =3.71 and root mean square of 1.48%@3 hours. This laser system could play significant roles in applications including photoconductive switch excitation, laser drilling and laser micro-fabrication.

A one-pot CRISPR-RCA strategy for ultrasensitive and specific detection of circRNA.

Accurate and precise detection of circular RNA (circRNA) is imperative for its clinical use. However, the inherent challenges in circRNA detection, arising from its low abundance and potential interference from linear isomers, necessitate innovative solutions. In this study, we introduce, for the first time, the application of the CRISPR/Cas12a system to establish a one-pot, rapid (30 minutes to 2 hours), specific and ultrasensitive circRNA detection strategy, termed RETA-CRISPR (reverse transcription-rolling circle amplification (RT-RCA) with the CRISPR/Cas12a). This method comprises two steps: (1) the RT-RCA process of circRNA amplification, generating repeat units containing the back-splicing junction (BSJ) sequences; and (2) leveraging the protospacer adjacent motif (PAM)-independent Cas12a/crRNA complex to precisely recognize target sequences with BSJ, thereby initiating the collateral cleavage activity of Cas12a to generate a robust fluorescence signal. Remarkably, this approach exhibits the capability to detect circRNAs at a concentration as low as 300 aM. The sensor has been successfully employed for accurate detection of a potential hepatocellular carcinoma biomarker hsa_circ_0001445 (circRNA1445) in various cell lines. In conclusion, RETA-CRISPR seamlessly integrates the advantages of exponential amplification reaction and the robust collateral cleavage activity of Cas12a, positioning it as a compelling tool for practical CRISPR-based diagnostics.

Analytical validation of the DropXpert S6 system for diagnosis of chronic myelocytic leukemia.

Digital PCR is a powerful method for absolute nucleic acid quantification and is widely used in the absolute quantification of viral copy numbers, tumor marker detection, and prenatal diagnosis. However, for most of the existing droplet-based dPCR systems, the droplet generation, PCR reaction, and droplet detection are performed separately using different instruments. Making digital PCR both easy to use and practical by integrating the qPCR workflow into a superior all-in-one walkaway solution is one of the core ideas. A new innovative and integrated digital droplet PCR platform was developed that utilizes cutting-edge microfluidics to integrate dPCR workflows onto a single consumable chip. This makes previously complex workflows fast and simple; the whole process of droplet generation, PCR amplification, and droplet detection is completed on one chip, which meets the clinical requirement of "sample in, result out". It provides high multiplexing capabilities and strong sensitivity while all measurements were within the 95% confidence interval. This study is the first validation of the DropXpert S6 system and focuses primarily on verifying its reliability, repeatability, and consistency. In addition, the accuracy, detection limit, linearity, and precision of the system were evaluated after sample collection. Among them, the accuracy assessment by calculating the absolute bias of each target gene yielded a range from -0.1 to 0.08, all within ±0.5 logarithmic orders of magnitude; the LOB for the assay was set at 0, and the LoD value calculated using probit curves is MR4.7 (0.002%); the linearity evaluation showed that the R2 value of the BCR-ABL was 0.9996, and the R2 value of the ABL metrics calculated using the ERM standard was 0.9999; and the precision evaluation showed that all samples had a CV of less than 4% for intra-day, inter-day, and inter-instrument variation. The CV of inter-batch variation was less than 7%. The total CV was less than 5%. The results of the study demonstrate that dd-PCR can be applied to molecular detection and the clinical evaluation of CML patients and provide more precise personal treatment guidance, and its reproducibility predicts the future development of a wide range of clinical applications.

Detection of feline immunodeficiency virus by neutral red-based loop-mediated isothermal amplification assay.

Feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) is a retroviral pathogen globally responsible for immunodeficiency disease in cats. However, the current diagnosis based on antibody detection has limitations and can also produce false-positive results. This study aimed to develop a one-pot loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) process integrated with neutral red (NR-LAMP) assay for detection of FIV proviral DNA. We developed a one-pot, gag gene-based NR-LAMP for convenient, rapid, specific, and sensitive colorimetric inspection of FIV proviral DNA. The developed NR-LAMP was capable of amplifying at an optimum temperature of 65°C for 40 min. No cross-amplification was detected between FIV and other feline viruses tested, indicating the high specificity (98.44%) of the novel FIV-LAMP primer. Our NR-LAMP assay has a detection limit of 4.2 × 101 copies/μL. A total of 80 clinical samples with a background of FIV infection were collected and tested using the proposed method. The NR-LAMP assay showed a high sensitivity of 100% compared to conventional polymerase chain reaction assay. These results support the suitability of NR-LAMP as a potential future alternative clinical molecular approach for further use in the diagnosis of FIV-infected cats.

Handgrip-Ring Structure Sensing Probe Assisted Multiple Signal Amplification Strategy for Sensitive and Label-Free Single-Stranded Nucleic Acid Analysis.

Precise and efficient identification of single-stranded nucleic acids is crucial for both pathological research and early diagnosis of diseases, such as cancers. Therefore, we have devised a novel biosensor that utilizes an elegantly designed handgrip-ring structure sensing probe to enhance the detection sensitivity and reduce background signals. The handgrip-ring structure sensing probe combines ring padlock-based target recognition and hairpin structure probe-based signal amplification. The target sequences form a binding interaction with the ring padlock in the sensing probe, leading to the elongation of the single-stranded chain with the assistance of polymerase. This elongation step results in the release of the hairpin probe, triggering a signal amplification process. This design significantly minimized the potential discrepancies that may occur during the signal amplification process, hence bestowing the approach with a low level of background signals. By utilizing this innovative design, the current biosensor demonstrates a remarkable ability to detect miRNA with a limit as low as 376 aM and single-stranded DNA sequences with a limit as low as 45.3 aM. In addition, it possesses exceptional discrimination capabilities. The efficacy of this approach in diagnosing targets was also effectively proved by the rational redesign of the ring padlock.

Combining a lateral flow immunoassay with triplex loop-mediated isothermal amplification for the concurrent identification of three bovine diarrhea syndrome viruses.

Numerous viruses, such as the bovine rotavirus (BRV), the bovine parvovirus (BPV), and the bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV), can cause bovine viral diarrhea syndrome. The global livestock industry has been subjected to significant consequences due to this condition. This results in considerable losses and hinders the production of crucial resources such as meat and milk, which are indispensable for sustaining the world's population. It is crucial to develop a quick and precise way of simultaneously detecting BVDV, BRV, and BPV, as they often occur together in mixed infections. A triplex loop-mediated isothermal amplification-lateral flow dipstick (LAMP-LFD) assay that can concurrently detect all three viruses was introduced in this study. The amplification process involved 30 minutes of incubation at 65 °C. The limits of detection (LODs) for BVDV, BRV, and BPV were 2.62 × 101 copies per μL, 2.43 × 101 copies per μL, and 2.50 × 101 copies per μL, respectively. The triplex LAMP-LFD assay was further evaluated in 156 anal swab samples, and the results were in agreement with the results of fluorescence quantitative PCR (qPCR) in more than 99% of the cattle. This assay is expected for the quick identification of triplex viruses in the field because it has high sensitivity and specificity and doesn't depend on laboratory equipment or conditions.
