DNA-mediated electrochemistry.

چکیده
The base pair stack of DNA has been demonstrated as a medium for long-range charge transport chemistry both in solution and at DNA-modified surfaces. This chemistry is exquisitely sensitive to structural perturbations in the base pair stack as occur with lesions, single base mismatches, and protein binding. We have exploited this sensitivity for the development of reliable electrochemical assays based on DNA charge transport at self-assembled DNA monolayers. Here, we discuss the characteristic features, applications, and advantages of DNA-mediated electrochemistry.

Coupling into the base pair stack is necessary for DNA-mediated electrochemistry.
The electrochemistry of DNA films modified with different redox probes linked to DNA through saturated and conjugated tethers was investigated. Experiments feature two redox probes bound to DNA on two surfaces: anthraquinone (AQ)-modified uridines incorporated into thiolated DNA on gold (Au) and 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine 1-oxyl (TEMPO)-modified uridines in pyrene-labeled DNA on highly orien...
متن کاملDNA-mediated electrochemistry of disulfides on graphite.
The electrochemistry of disulfides incorporated into the sugar-phosphate backbone of pyrene-modified DNA has been examined on highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG). Two signals, one irreversible, one reversible, are observed at -160 and -290 mV versus normal hydrogen electrode, respectively. The inclusion of a single base mismatch in the DNA duplex below the location of the disulfide leads ...
متن کاملIntraduplex DNA-mediated electrochemistry of covalently tethered redox-active reporters.
Intraduplex DNA-mediated reduction is established as a general mechanism for the reduction of distally bound stacked redox-active species covalently tethered to DNA through flexible alkane linkages. Methylene Blue (MB), Nile Blue (NB), and Anthraquinone (AQ) were covalently tethered to DNA with three different covalent linkages. Using these reporters DNA electrochemistry was shown to be both DN...
متن کاملDNA electrochemistry with tethered methylene blue.
Methylene blue (MB'), covalently attached to DNA through a flexible C(12) alkyl linker, provides a sensitive redox reporter in DNA electrochemistry measurements. Tethered, intercalated MB' is reduced through DNA-mediated charge transport; the incorporation of a single base mismatch at position 3, 10, or 14 of a 17-mer causes an attenuation of the signal to 62 ± 3% of the well-matched DNA, irres...
متن کاملElectrochemistry using self-assembled DNA monolayers on highly oriented pyrolytic graphite.
Duplex DNA functionalized with pyrene has been utilized to fabricate DNA-modified electrodes on highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG). Films have been characterized using AFM and radioactive labeling as well as electrochemically. The data obtained are consistent with a close-packed structure in the film with helices oriented in a nearly upright orientation, as seen earlier with the fabricat...
