Firstly, an amino-modified Zr(IV) based metal-organic framework (MOF; type UiO-66-NH2; made up from Zr6O32 units and 2-amino-terephthalate linkers) with a high specific surface was synthesized and used as the carrier of the gold nanoparticles and the aptamers. Then the signalling nanoprobe was fabricated after the horseradish peroxidase was cast on the nanomaterials. The two aptamers with synergistic effect on binding MPT64 were anchored on the gold electrode. Differential pulse voltammetry indicated that the peak current is highest if the ratio of the two aptamers is 1:1. The assay has a wide linear response range (0.02 to 1000 pg·mL-1 of MPT64) and a 10 fg·mL-1 detection limit at a working potential of around -96 mV (vs Ag/AgCl). The results show this biosensor to be a viable tool for detection of tuberculosis at an early stage. Graphical abstract Schematic presentation of the construction of the nanoprobe and biosensor. Firstly, the surface of UiO-66-NH2 was anchored to gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). A dual-aptamer and HRP were added to form the signalling nanoprobe (Aptamer/HRP/AuNPs/UiO-66-NH2). Then, the aptamers I and II were attached on the surface of gold electrode and 6-mercapto-1-hexanol was used to block the uncovered active site of the gold electrode. Finally, after incubation with MPT64, the signalling nanoprobe was dropped on the modified electrode and the DPV measurements was used for the analysis of Mycobacterium tuberculosis antigen MPT64. (PVP: poly(vinyl pyrrolidone); HRP: horseradish peroxidase; MCH: 6-Mercapto-1-hexanol; HQ: hydroquinone; BQ: benzoquinone).
