Glyphosate detection by specific inhibition of the nanozyme activity of MOF-808-NH2 : A dual-mode sensor with enhanced reliability for analysis


Chuhan Bian

 
ABSTRACT:     This study successfully constructed an efficient colorimetric/fluorometric dual-mode nanozyme sensor based on a metal-organic framework (MOF-808-NH2 ) for the highly selective and sensitive detection of glyphosate (GP). The sensor leverages the dual functionalities of MOF-808-NH2 , namely its intrinsic peroxidase-like activity and blue fluorescence emission. In the presence of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2 ), MOF-808-NH2 catalyzes the oxidation of colorless 3,3? ,5,5? -tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) to generate blue oxTMB, producing a distinct colorimetric signal. Simultaneously, the generated oxTMB quenches the inherent blue fluorescence of MOF-808-NH2 via the inner filter effect (IFE). GP specifically inhibits the peroxidase-like activity of MOF-808-NH2 , leading to a reduction in oxTMB generation. This inhibition results in a dual-mode response: a weakening of the blue color (decreased colorimetric signal) and a recovery of the blue fluorescence (enhanced fluorescence signal). This dual-signal response strategy effectively integrates the intuitiveness of colorimetric analysis with the high sensitivity of fluorescence detection, eliminating the need for unstable biological enzymes, demonstrating good reliability, accuracy, and broad application prospects in the analysis of real samples. It provides a core driving force for achieving comprehensive connectivity between precision agriculture and environmental health.
