https://www.selleckchem.com/CDK.html DNAzymes with nucleic acid-cleaving catalytic activity are increasing in versatility through concerted efforts to discover new sequences with unique functions, and they are generating excitement in the sensing community as cheap, stable, amplifiable detection elements. This review provides a comprehensive list and detailed descriptions of the DNAzymes identified to date, classified by their associated small molecule or ion needed for catalysis; of note, this classification clarifies conserved regions of various DNAzymes that are not obvious in the literature. Furthermore, we detail the breadth of functionality of these DNA sequences as well as the range of reaction conditions under which they are useful. In addition, the utility of the DNAzymes in a variety of sensing and therapeutic applications is presented, detailing both their advantages and disadvantages. We have earlier demonstrated sensitive detection of low the volatile nerve agents Tabun, Cyclosarin and VX by using handheld Raman instrumentation in conjunction with surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) attained with gold and silver coated Si nanopillar substrates. In the present proof-of-concept study, the gold substrates chemically are functionalized to realize selectivity towards organophosphorus compounds (OPs) with high sensitivity. A potential capturer and reporter molecule, chemical nerve agent antidote, 4-pyridine amide oxime, is evaluated due to its high Raman cross section, high chemical affinity towards gold, and binding specificity to the target substances Tabun, VX and Cyclosarin via the oxime group. Upon selective and covalent binding, the SERS probe undergoes structural changes which are reflected in the spectral SERS responses, making it suitable for indirect monitoring of nerve agents in aqueous solution. With the probe attached to the hotspots of Au-coated Si nanopillars, the SERS signals distinctly discriminate between specific and non-specific analy
