A facile and label-free assay with label-free molecular beacons (MBs) and fluorescent dye N-methyl mesoporphyrin IX (NMM) was developed for the detection of specific single-stranded DNA sequences. It was demonstrated by a reverse transcription oligonucleotide sequence (target DNA, 20 bases) of RNA fragment of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) as model systems. In the absence of target DNA, the MBs were in the stem-closed form, the G-quadruplex structure could not form and the fluorescence signal of NMM was very low. In the presence of target DNA the MBs turned Off to On, thus promoting the formation of G-quadruplex which could greatly enhance the fluorescence of NMM. This biosensor was simple in design, fast in operation, and more convenient and promising than other methods. It took less than 30 min to finish and its detection limit was 1.4 nM. No sophisticated experimental techniques or chemical modification for DNA sequences were required. This new approach could be widely applied to sensitive and selective nucleic acids detection.

Interaction between Six Waxy Components in Summer Black Grapes (Vitis vinifera) and Mancozeb and Its Effect on the Residue of Mancozeb

Boru Guo, Aying Wen, Hang Yu, Yahui Guo, Yuliang Cheng, Yunfei Xie, He Qian, Weirong Yao

Summary: Mancozeb, a commonly used antifungal for fruit growth, can bind to the waxy components of fruits and has non-internal absorption. This study investigated the interaction between pesticide molecules and the waxy layer on grape surfaces and their impact on pesticide residues. Significant changes in the composition of the grape surface waxy layer were observed after soaking in a mancozeb solution, and molecular docking revealed hydrogen bonds and van der Waals forces between mancozeb and the waxy components. The presence or absence of wax affected the determination of mancozeb residues, with significantly lower deposition in grapes after dewaxing.

Shaofeng Yuan, Hang Yu, Yunfei Xie, Yahui Guo, Weirong Yao

Summary: The effect and mechanism of ultrasound on the biodegradation of profenofos by Lactiplantibacillus plantarum were investigated in this study. Ultrasound applied during the prelogarithmic phase of microbial growth significantly enhanced the biodegradation of profenofos. The key ultrasonic parameters were optimized using the response surface methodology, and the Holden model was used to describe the growth of L. plantarum and the biodegradation of profenofos. Under optimal ultrasonic conditions, the specific growth rate of L. plantarum and the specific degradation rate of profenofos were significantly increased compared to without sonication, attributed to the enhancement of phosphatase activity and the improvement of cell membrane permeability.
