چکیده
We report a reagentless and reusable electrochemical DNA sensor that exploits competitive binding and target hybridization-induced change in the signalling probe conformation for robust detection of a target DNA sequence.

Electrochemical interrogation of conformational changes as a reagentless method for the sequence-specific detection of DNA.
We report a strategy for the reagentless transduction of DNA hybridization into a readily detectable electrochemical signal by means of a conformational change analogous to the optical molecular beacon approach. The strategy involves an electroactive, ferrocene-tagged DNA stem-loop structure that self-assembles onto a gold electrode by means of facile gold-thiol chemistry. Hybridization induces...
متن کاملAn electrochemical sensor for single nucleotide polymorphism detection in serum based on a triple-stem DNA probe.
We report here an electrochemical approach that offers, for the first time, single-step, room-temperature single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) detection directly in complex samples (such as blood serum) without the need for target modification, postwashing, or the addition of exogenous reagents. This sensor, which is sensitive, stable, and reusable, is comprised of a single, self-complementary,...
متن کاملEffect of molecular crowding on the response of an electrochemical DNA sensor.
E-DNA sensors, the electrochemical equivalent of molecular beacons, appear to be a promising means of detecting oligonucleotides. E-DNA sensors are comprised of a redox-modified (here, methylene blue or ferrocene) DNA stem-loop covalently attached to an interrogating electrode. Because E-DNA signaling arises due to binding-induced changes in the conformation of the stem-loop probe, it is likely...
متن کاملDirect electrochemical sensor for fast reagent-free DNA detection.
A novel reagentless direct electrochemical DNA sensor has been developed using ultrathin films of the conducting polymer polypyrrole doped with an oligonucleotide probe. Our goal was to develop a prototype electrochemical DNA sensor for detection of a biowarfare pathogen, variola major virus. The sensor has been optimized for higher specificity and sensitivity. It was possible to detect 1.6 fmo...
متن کاملEffect of diluent chain length on the performance of the electrochemical DNA sensor at elevated temperature.
Here we report the effect of passivating diluent chain length and sensor interrogation temperature on the electrochemical DNA (E-DNA) sensor's mismatch discrimination capability. Both stem-loop and linear probe-based E-DNA sensors were constructed with various diluents, including 6-mercapto-1-hexanol and longer chain hydroxyl-terminated alkanethiols. Contrary to previously reported results, we ...
