Rapid DNA electrochemical biosensing platform for label-free potentiometric detection of DNA hybridization.

Talanta 2010 May 16
This paper described a novel electrochemical DNA biosensor for rapid specific detection of nucleic acids based on the sulfonated polyaniline (SPAN) nanofibre and cysteamine-capped gold nanoparticle (CA-G(NP)) layer-by-layer films. A precursor film of 3-mercaptopropionic acid (MPA) was firstly self-assembled on the Au electrode surface. CA-G(NP) was covalently deposited on the Au/MPA electrode to obtain a stable substrate. SPAN nanofibre and CA-G(NP) were alternately layer-by-layer assembled on the stable substrate by electrostatic force. Cyclic voltammetry was used to monitor the consecutive growth of the multilayer films by utilizing [Fe(CN)(6)](3-/4-) as the redox indicator. The (CA-G(NP)/SPAN)(n) films showed satisfactory ability of electron transfer and excellent redox activity in neutral media. Negatively charged probe ssDNA was immobilized on the outer layer of the multilayer film (CA-G(NP)) through electrostatic affinity. Chronopotentiometry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy were employed to obtain the direct electrochemical readout for probe ssDNA immobilization and hybridization using [Fe(CN)(6)](3-/4-) in solution as the mediator. While electrochemical impedance spectroscopy led to the characterization of the electron-transfer resistance at the electrode, chronopotentiometry provided the total resistance at the interfaces of the modified electrodes. A good correlation between the total electrode resistances and the electron-transfer resistances at the conducting supports was found. Chronopotentiometry was suggested as a rapid transduction means (a few seconds). Based on the (CA-G(NP)/SPAN)(n) films, the target DNA with 20-base could be detected up to 2.13x10(-13)mol/L, and the feasibility for the detection of base-mismatched DNA was also demonstrated.
