description | [Image: see text] Rapid detection of nerve agents from complex matrices with minimal sample preparation is essential due to their high toxicity and bioavailability. In this work, quantum dots (QDs) were functionalized with oligonucleotide aptamers that specifically targeted a nerve agent metabolite, methylphosphonic acid (MePA). These QD-DNA bioconjugates were covalently linked to quencher molecules to form Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) donor–acceptor pairs that quantitatively measure the presence of MePA. Using the FRET biosensor, the MePA limit of detection was 743 nM in artificial urine. A decrease in the QD lifetime was measured upon DNA binding and was recovered with MePA. The biosensor’s flexible design makes it a strong candidate for the rapid detection of chemical and biological agents for deployable, in-field detectors. |
