An Hg²⁺-triggered exonuclease Ⅲ-assisted dual-cycle isothermal signal amplification was developed for label-free and ultrasensitive detection of Hg²⁺ using two designed hairpin probes. In the presence of Hg²⁺, the Hg²⁺ discrimination probe could hybridize with the free 3'-terminus of hairpin probe 1 by T-Hg²⁺-T coordination and a blunt 3'-terminus is formed. In this case, Exo Ⅲ could preferentially bind to the blunt 3'-terminus and catalyze the stepwise hydrolysis of mononucleotides in the 3'-to-5' direction. The released Hg²⁺ and Hg²⁺discrimination probe were recycled in a new round of reaction cycle (cycle 1). Undegraded sequence of hairpin probe 1 comprises G-quadruplex-forming sequence and I-region that was completely complementary to the free 3'-terminus of hairpin probe 2 (Ⅰ^* region) to form another blunt 3'-terminus. The new blunt 3'-terminus could trigger Exo Ⅲ-assisted cleavage again, and the I-region was released and recycled in a new round of reaction cycle (cycle 2). Cycles 1 and 2 were spontaneous cycle processes. After multiple cycles, a large number of single-stranded G-quadruplex-forming sequences could be generated. The released G-quadruplex-forming sequences could bind hemin to form stable G-quadruplex-hemin DNAzymes, which could efficiently catalyze ABTS-H₂O₂ system to produce the colored product. Under the optimal experimental conditions, the linear range for detection of Hg²⁺ was 0.3 pmol/L-50 pmol/L with a detection limit of 0.25 pmol/L, and the regression equation was ΔA_{420 nm}=0.117+0.004C_Hg²⁺(pmol/L). This Hg²⁺ sensing system had excellent selectivity for Hg²⁺ against otherpossible competing ions. The fabricated sensor was applied to detection of Hg²⁺ in environmental water samples, and the recoveries were 96.0%-106.0%, respectively. This method was simple with good selectivity, high sensitivity and strong anti-interference ability, and was suitable for the sensitive detection of Hg²⁺ in environmental water samples.
