Target-Induced Stimuli-Responsive Liquid Crystal for Colorimetric Detection of Aflatoxin B1 via MnO 2 Nanosheet- Mediated Catalysis
This study introduces a novel colorimetric biosensor for the rapid and label-free detection of Aflatoxin B1 in food, utilizing a target-induced mechanism where aptamer binding releases glutathione to decompose MnO2 nanosheets and inhibit TMB oxidation, resulting in a visible "color-off" signal with high sensitivity and specificity.
