ABSTRACT
The CRISPR-Cas system was developed into a molecular diagnostic tool with high sensitivity, low cost, and high specificity in recent years. Colorimetric assays based on nanozymes offer an attractive point-of-care testing method for their low cost of use and user-friendly operation. Here, a MnO2 nanozyme-mediated CRISPR-Cas12a system was instituted to detect SARS-CoV-2. MnO2 nanorods linked to magnetic beads via a single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) linker used as an oxidase-like nanozyme inducing the color change of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine, which can be distinguished by the naked eye. The detection buffer color will change when the Cas12a is activated by SARS-CoV-2 and indiscriminately cleave the linker ssDNA. The detection limit was 10 copies per microliter and showed no cross-reaction with other coronaviruses. The nanozyme-mediated CRISPR-Cas12a system shows high selectivity and facile operation, with great potential for molecular diagnosis in point-of-care testing applications.
