Nucleic acid-based constitutional dynamic networks (CDNs) can mimic biological events while revealing complex biological processes and their functionalities. In this study, we present a novel dual-signal biosensor that leverages a dissipative DNAzyme-driven network for the analysis of mutant targets. A dissipative cycle response to target in single-base resolution was designed based on a DNAzyme-driven network to generate transient fluorescence signals, enabling real-time monitoring of mutant interactions. Meanwhile, a secondary signal mechanism using bipolar electrodes for electrochemiluminescence (ECL) detection was introduced, which provided a cumulative recording of the response events. The dual mechanisms ensured the efficient and specific activation of the dissipative cycle, mimicking SNV-related biological processes and enhancing the sensitivity and selectivity. This biosensing platform demonstrates the potential in advanced analytical applications, including real-time mutant detection and bioprocess simulation, paving the way for innovative diagnostic and research tools in analytical chemistry.

Labeling DNA Probes
Radioisotopes, fluorophores, or small molecule binding partners like biotin or digoxigenin, are the most widely used reporter tags for labeling DNA probes. These labels can be attached to the probe DNA molecule via...
Protein Dynamics in Living Cells
Fluorescent recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) is a fluorescent-protein-based detection technique used to quantify protein movement rates within the cell. This method exposes a small portion of the cell to an intense laser beam. The laser beam causes permanent photobleaching of the fluorophore-tagged proteins in the exposed region. As the bleached...
