Hierarchical Porous Metal‐Organic Framework as Biocatalytic Microreactor for Enzymatic Biofuel Cell‐Based Self‐Powered Biosensing of MicroRNA Integrated with Cascade Signal Amplification

) cofactor in zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-L) and are further used as the biocatalytic microreactors to modify bioanode. In this work, the TA-controlled etching can not only expand the pore size of microreactors, but also achieve the reorientation of enzymes in their lower surface energy form, therefore enhancing the biocatalysis of cofactor-dependent enzyme. Meanwhile, the topological DNA tetrahedron is assembled on the microreactors, which acts as the microRNA-responsive "lock" to perform the cascade signal amplification of exonuclease III-assisted target recycling on bioanode and hybridization chain reaction (HCR) on biocathode. The proposed self-powered biosensor has achieved a detection limit as low as 2 aM (6 copies miRNA-21 in a 5 µL of sample), which is further successfully applied to identify cancer cells and clinical serums of breast cancer patients based on the different levels of miRNA-21, holding great potential in accurate disease identification and clinical diagnosis.
