CRISPR-Cas12a/Aurora Deoxyribozyme Cascade: A Label-Free Ultrasensitive Platform for Rapid <i>Salmonella</i> Detection by Cong Shi, Huimin Tan, Zhou Yu, Weilin Li, Yan Man, Qinghai Zhang

“…This study innovatively developed a label-free biosensing platform based on the synergistic integration of Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR)-Cas12a and the fluorescent deoxyribozyme Aurora for the efficient detection of foodborne Salmonella. The detection mechanism operates through a molecular cascade reaction: target-activated Cas12a protein specifically degrades Aurora deoxyribozyme via its trans-cleavage activity, thereby abolishing the enzyme’s catalytic capability to convert 4-methylumbelliferyl phosphate (4-MUP) into the highly fluorescent product 4-methylumbelliferone (4-MU). …”
