A simple fluorometric assay for DNA exonuclease activity based on graphene oxide.

چکیده
A new assay platform for DNA exonuclease activity is developed based on the preferential binding of single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) over double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) to graphene oxide. This approach allows a simple and quantitative activity measurement in a short time at low cost.

A simple PCR-based fluorometric system for detection of mutant fusion DNAs using a quencher-free fluorescent DNA probe and graphene oxide.
We propose a facile fluorometric system for detection of gene mutations using graphene oxide (GO). A fluorescent probe DNA anneals to a specific mutant gene and is degraded by the 5'→ 3' exonuclease activity of Taq polymerase during PCR, and the released fluorophore retains fluorescence after addition of GO without quenching.
متن کاملA graphene oxide-based platform for the assay of RNA synthesis by RNA polymerase using a fluorescent peptide nucleic acid probe.
We report a simple, direct fluorometric assay based on graphene oxide (GO) for RNA polymerase-mediated RNA synthesis. In principle, fluorescent peptide nucleic acid (PNA) probes were designed, and annealed with RNA products and the resultant RNA-PNA hybrids induced the recovery of fluorescence intensity of the PNA probes adsorbed onto the GO surface.
متن کاملFluorescence-based detection of single-nucleotide changes in RNA using graphene oxide and DNAzyme.
We report a simple fluorometric method for detection of single-nucleotide changes in RNA using graphene oxide (GO) and RNA-cleaving DNAzyme. The fluorescent DNA probe (F-DNA) was annealed to RNA fragments generated by RNA cleavage with DNAzyme specific to mutant RNA. The F-DNA-RNA duplex attenuated the quenching of F-DNA fluorescence by GO.
متن کاملAn amplified fluorescence detection of T4 polynucleotide kinase activity based on coupled exonuclease III reaction and a graphene oxide platform.
A novel amplified fluorescence graphene oxide (GO) sensing platform for sensitive detection of T4 polynucleotide kinase (PNK) activity and inhibition was developed based on the exonuclease III (ExoIII) reaction. The efficient digestion capacity of ExoIII and the super quenching ability of GO both contribute to the detection sensitivity.
متن کاملPerformance comparison of graphene and graphene oxide-supported palladium nanoparticles as a highly efficient catalyst in oxygen reduction
In this work, the performance of graphene nanosheets (GNs) and graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets, as a support for palladium nanoparticles (PdNPs) toward oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), was studied. The graphene nanosheets were functionalized by a new and simple method. The PdNPs were synthesized on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) modified with GNs or GO via a potentiostatic method; without using...
