Abstract

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have captured substantial attention of an increasing number of scientists working in sensing analysis fields, due to their large surface area, high porosity, and tunable structure. Recently, MOFs as attractive fluorescence quenchers have been extensively investigated. Given their high quenching efficiency toward the fluorescence intensity of dyes-labeled specific biological recognition molecules, such as nucleic acids, MOFs have been widely developed to switch fluorescence biosensors with low background fluorescence signal. These strategies not only lead to specificity, simplicity, and low cost of biosensors, but also possess advantages such as ultrasensitive, rapid, and multiple detection of switch fluorescence methods. At present, researches of the analysis of switch fluorescence biosensors based on MOFs and nucleic acids mainly focus on sensing of different types of in vitro and intracellular analytes, indicating their increasing potential. In this review, we briefly introduce the principle of switch fluorescence biosensor and the mechanism of fluorescence quenching of MOFs, and mainly discuss and summarize the state-of-the-art advances of MOFs and nucleic acids-based switch fluorescence biosensors over the years 2013 to 2020. Most of them have been proposed to the in vitro detection of different types of analytes, showing their wide scope and applicability, such as deoxyribonucleic acid (DNAs), ribonucleic acid (RNAs), proteins, enzymes, antibiotics, and heavy metal ions. Besides, some of them have also been applied to the bioimaging of intracellular analytes, emerging their potential for biomedical applications, for example, cellular adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and subcellular glutathione (GSH). Finally, the remaining challenges in this sensing field and prospects for future research trends are addressed.
