A series of 6H-thiopyran-2,3-dicarboxylate derivatives 4a-d were synthesized and evaluated for their cytotoxic effect against HCT-15 colon and MCF-7 breast cancer cell lines using Sulforhodamine B (SRB) assay. The results showed that these compounds could exhibit a good cytotoxicity to both cell lines. In addition, these compounds were found to exhibit significant DNA-binding affinity. Ultraviolet-visible light (UV-Vis) spectroscopy was conducted to determine the ability of the ligand under analysis. The effect of ligand complexation on DNA structure led to overall affinity constants of K(4a)=3.5×10(4) M(-1), K(4b)=6.4×10(4) M(-1), K(4c)=3.2×10(4) M(-1), and K(4d)=2.4×10(4) M(-1). Our findings could provide new evidence showing the relationship between the chemical structure and biological activity and may be useful for the discovery of new anti-cancer drugs. 相似文献

3-Nitrotyrosine has been reported as an important biomarker of oxidative stress that may play a role in a variety of diseases. In this work, transient UV-visible absorption spectra and kinetics observed during the reaction of the hydrated electron, e(aq)(-), with 3-nitrotyrosine and derivatives thereof were investigated. The absorption spectra show characteristics of aromatic nitro anion radicals. The absorptivity of radical anion product at 300 nm is estimated to be (1.0 ± 0.2) × 10(4) M(-1) cm(-1) at pH 7.3. The rate constants determined for the reaction of e(aq)(-) with 3-nitrotyrosine, N-acetyl-3-nitrotyrosine ethyl ester and glycylnitrotyrosylglycine at neutral pH (3.0 ± 0.3) × 10(10) M(-1) s(-1), (2.9 ± 0.2) × 10(10) M(-1) s(-1) and (1.9 ± 0.2) × 10(10) M(-1) s(-1), respectively, approach the diffusion-control limit and are almost two orders of magnitude higher than those for the reactions with tyrosine and tyrosine-containing peptides. The magnitude of the rate constants supports reaction of e(aq)(-) at the nitro group, and the product absorbance at 300 nm is consistent with formation of the nitro anion radical. The pH dependence of the second-order rate constant for e(aq)(-) decay (720 nm) in the presence of 3-nitrotyrosine shows a decrease with increasing pH, consistent with unfavorable electrostatic interactions. The pH dependence of the second-order rate constant for formation of radical anion (300 nm) product suggests that deprotonation of the amino group slows the rate, which indicates that deamination to form the 1-carboxy-2-(4-hydroxy-3-nitrophenyl)ethyl radical occurs. We conclude that the presence of the nitro group activates tyrosine and derivatives toward reaction with e(aq)(-) and can affect the redox chemistry of biomolecules exposed to oxidative stress. 相似文献

A sugar-aza-crown ether (SAC)-based fluorescent sensor 4 was prepared. It contains a pyrene as the fluorophore and its fluoroionophoric properties toward transition metal ions were investigated. Chemosensor 4 exhibits highly selective recognition toward Cu(2+) and Hg(2+) ions among a series of tested metal ions in methanol solution. The association constants for 4*Cu(2+) and 4*Hg(2+) in methanol solution were calculated to be 7.4×10(1)M(-1) and 4.4×10(3)M(-1), respectively. Chemosensor 4 formed complexes with the Cu(2+) or Hg(2+) ion at a 1:1 ligand-to-metal ratio with a detection limit of 1.3×10(-4)M Cu(2+) and 1.26×10(-5)MHg(2+), respectively. 相似文献

Nitrogen doped graphene (NG) was prepared by thermally annealing graphite oxide and melamine mixture. After characterization by atomic force microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy etc., the electrochemical sensor based on NG was constructed to simultaneously determine small biomolecules such as ascorbic acid (AA), dopamine (DA) and uric acid (UA). Due to its unique structure and properties originating from nitrogen doping, NG shows highly electrocatalytic activity towards the oxidation of AA, DA and UA. The electrochemical sensor shows a wide linear response for AA, DA and UA in the concentration range of 5.0×10(-6) to 1.3×10(-3)M, 5.0×10(-7) to 1.7×10(-4)M and 1.0×10(-7) to 2.0×10(-5)M with detection limit of 2.2×10(-6)M, 2.5×10(-7)M and 4.5×10(-8)M at S/N=3, respectively. These results demonstrate that NG is a promising candidate of advanced electrode material in electrochemical sensing and other electrocatalytic applications. 相似文献

This report describe the organogenesis of Populus davidiana × P. bolleana Loucne hybrid leaf explant from plantlet in vitro and the effects of different factors on its organogenesis. It was found that shoot induction of lower leaf segments with petiole was easier than those of the middle and top segments. When leaf explants were in- cubated on a MS midium with eytokinin (zeatin l×l0-6 M–2×10-6 M or benzyladenine 2 × 10-6 M) and auxin (IAA 4 × 10-8 M–1 × 10-6 M or NAA, NAAoxy 4 × 10-8 M–4 × 10-7 M), the frequeney of shoot differentiation would be 70%–100%. Kinetin had no activity on shoot formation and 2, 4-D showed serious inhibition. ABA, GA3, and Ethrel all prevented shoot production. Since higher frequency of shoot differentiation could be obtained, a lot of shoots were produced cneach leaf explant and shoots could be proliferated by axillary buds, so this system could be used for rapid propagation. 相似文献

In this study, we report the DNA interaction and cytotoxicity of four dibenzoxanthene compounds 1-4. The binding behaviors of these compounds to calf thymus DNA were studied by absorption titration, viscosity measurements. The DNA binding constants of compounds 1, 2, 3, and 4 are 5.05×10(4), 2.13×10(3), 5.10×10(4), and 3.03×10(3) M(-1), respectively. The lipophilicity of the compounds was determined by the shake flask method. The cytotoxicity of these compounds has been assessed by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. These compounds exhibit high activity against BEL-7402, Hela, MG-63, and SKBR-3 cells. The cell cycle arrest was analyzed by flow cytometry. These compounds inhibit S phase of BEL-7402 and SKBR-3 cells. The experiments on antioxidant activity show that these compounds exhibit good antioxidant activity against hydroxyl radical ((?)OH). 相似文献

Biogenic polyamines are essential for cell growth and differentiation, while polyamine analogues exert antitumor activity in multiple experimental model systems, including breast and lung cancer. Dendrimers are widely used for drug delivery in vitro and in vivo. We report the bindings of biogenic polyamines, spermine (spm), and spermidine (spmd), and their synthetic analogues, 3,7,11,15-tetrazaheptadecane.4HCl (BE-333) and 3,7,11,15,19-pentazahenicosane.5HCl (BE-3333) to dendrimers of different compositions, mPEG-PAMAM (G3), mPEG-PAMAM (G4) and PAMAM (G4). FTIR and UV-visible spectroscopic methods as well as molecular modeling were used to analyze polyamine binding mode, the binding constant and the effects of polyamine complexation on dendrimer stability and conformation. Structural analysis showed that polyamines bound dendrimers through both hydrophobic and hydrophilic contacts with overall binding constants of K(spm-mPEG-G3) = 7.6 × 10(4) M(-1), K(spm-mPEG-PAMAM-G4) = 4.6 × 10(4) M(-1), K(spm-PAMAM-G4) = 6.6 × 10(4) M(-1), K(spmd-mPEG-G3) = 1.0 × 10(5) M(-1), K(spmd-mPEG-PAMAM-G4) = 5.5 × 10(4) M(-1), K(spmd-PAMAM-G4) = 9.2 × 10(4) M(-1), K(BE-333-mPEG-G3) = 4.2 × 10(4) M(-1), K(Be-333-mPEG-PAMAM-G4) = 3.2 × 10(4) M(-1), K(BE-333-PAMAM-G4) = 3.6 × 10(4) M(-1), K(BE-3333-mPEG-G3) = 2.2 × 10(4) M(-1), K(Be-3333-mPEG-PAMAM-G4) = 2.4 × 10(4) M(-1), K(BE-3333-PAMAM-G4) = 2.3 × 10(4) M(-1). Biogenic polyamines showed stronger affinity toward dendrimers than those of synthetic polyamines, while weaker interaction was observed as polyamine cationic charges increased. The free binding energies calculated from docking studies were: -3.2 (spermine), -3.5 (spermidine) and -3.03 (BE-3333) kcal/mol, with the following order of binding affinity: spermidine-PAMAM-G-4>spermine-PAMMAM-G4>BE-3333-PAMAM-G4 consistent with spectroscopic data. Our results suggest that dendrimers can act as carrier vehicles for delivering antitumor polyamine analogues to target tissues. 相似文献

4-Coumarate:coenzyme A ligase (4CL) plays a key role in phenylpropanoid metabolism, providing precursors for a large variety of important plant secondary metabolites, such as lignin, flavonoids, and phytoalexins. Although 4CLs have been believed to be specific to plants, a gene encoding a 4CL-like enzyme which shows more than 40% identity in amino acid sequence to plant 4CLs was found in the genome of the gram-positive, filamentous bacterium Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2). The recombinant enzyme, produced in Escherichia coli with a histidine tag at its N-terminal end, showed distinct 4CL activity. The optimum pH and temperature of the reaction were pH 8.0 and 30 degrees C, respectively. The K(m) value for 4-coumarate and k(cat) were determined as 131 +/- 4 micro M and 0.202 +/- 0.007 s(-1), respectively. The K(m) value was comparable to those of plant 4CLs. The substrate specificity of this enzyme was, however, distinctly different from those of plant 4CLs. The enzyme efficiently converted cinnamate (K(m), 190 +/- 2 micro M; k(cat), 0.475 +/- 0.012 s(-1)), which is a very poor substrate for plant 4CLs. Furthermore, the enzyme showed only low activity toward caffeate and no activity toward ferulate, both of which are generally good substrates for plant 4CLs. The enzyme was therefore named ScCCL for S. coelicolor A3(2) cinnamate CoA ligase. To determine the amino acid residues providing the unique substrate specificity of ScCCL, eight ScCCL mutant enzymes having a mutation(s) at amino acid residues that probably line up along the substrate-binding pocket were generated. Mutant A294G used caffeate as a substrate more efficiently than ScCCL, and mutant A294G/A318G used ferulate, which ScCCL could not use as a substrate, suggesting that Ala(294) and Ala(318) are involved in substrate recognition. Furthermore, the catalytic activities of A294G and A294G/A318G toward cinnamate and 4-coumarate were greatly enhanced compared with those of the wild-type enzyme. 相似文献

In this paper, we demonstrated that bovine serum albumin (BSA) stabilized Au clusters exhibited highly intrinsic peroxidase-like activity. Unlike nature enzymes, the BSA-Au clusters have strong robustness and can be used over a wide range of pH and temperature. Because of ultra-small size, good stability and high biocompatibility in water solution compare with other kinds of nanoparticles as peroxidase mimetics, such as Fe(3)O(4), FeS or graphene oxide, it is more competent for bioanalysis. Furthermore, we make use of the novel properties of BSA-Au clusters as peroxidase mimetics to detect H(2)O(2). The as-prepared BSA-Au clusters were used to catalyze the oxidation of a peroxidase substrate 3,3,5,5-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) by H(2)O(2) to the oxidized colored product, and which provides a colorimetric detection of H(2)O(2). As low as 2.0 × 10(-8)M H(2)O(2) could be detected with a linear range from 5.0 × 10(-7) to 2.0 × 10(-5)M via this method. More importantly, a sensitive and selective method for xanthine detection was developed using xanthine oxidase (XOD) and the as-prepared BSA-Au clusters. The detection limit of this assay for xanthine was 5 × 10(-7)M and the proposed method was successfully applied for the determination of xanthine in urine and human serum sample. 相似文献

Conceptuses from several mammalian species prior to implantation secrete proteins belonging to the family of interferons. The main species of interferons known to be secreted by the pig blastocyst is interferon gamma (IFNγ), the precise role of which is unclear. We decided to explore its effects on corpus luteum (CL) function using the novel microdialysis technique in vivo. Six cycling miniature pigs were monitored for estrus by daily plasma progesterone analysis and visual symptoms. On day nine of the cycle (day zero being the day of ovulation) the animals underwent surgery, and microdialysis tubing (vitafiber, Amicon U.S.A, cut off mol. wt. 1 million) were implanted in 17 corpora lutea. The inlets and outlets of all tubings were exteriorized and the entry and exit points of tubings in the CLs sealed with tissue glue. The afferent extension tubings were connected to a fraction collector and the system was continuously flushed with Ringer at a flow rate of 2.4 ml/h. After an initial flushout phase of 8 h, fractions were collected every half hour over 3 days. On days 10, 11 and 12 post estrus 12 CLs were stimulated for 4 h with 10−7 M, 2 × 10−7 M and 4 × 10−7 M human recombinant IFNγ (Pharma Biotechnologie) respectively. Simultaneously, fractions were also collected from the remaining five unstimulated corpora lutea which served as controls. Progesterone concentrations in the dialysates were estimated by a sensitive enzymeimmunoassay (EIA). A significant increase (P < 0.01) in progesterone release was observed in all 3 days following stimulation. The progesterone increase was more marked on the first day of stimulation (1 × 10−7 M) with the hormone levels rising further even after the end of stimulation. The overall increase in progesterone concentration was 2-fold on day 10 in comparison to 15–30% on subsequent days even though IFN concentrations for stimulation were 2- and 4-fold higher. In the unstimulated CLs, a gradual decline (P < 0.01) in progesterone levels were observed over days. In conclusion, these data provide evidence that the early conceptus signals its presence by way of IFNγ to maintain the CL in pigs. 相似文献

This work describes the development of an automated flow-based biosensor that employs genetically modified acetylcholinesterase (AChE) enzymes B394, B4 and wild type B131. The biosensor was based on a screen printed carbon electrode (SPE) that was integrated into a flow cell. Enzymes were immobilised on cobalt (II) phthalocyanine (CoPC) modified electrodes by entrapment in a photocrosslinkable polymer (PVA-AWP). The automated flow-based biosensor was successfully used to quantify three organophosphate pesticides (OPs) in milk samples. The OPs used were chlorpyriphos-oxon (CPO), ethyl paraoxon (EPOx) and malaoxon (MOx). The total analysis time for the assay was less than 15 min. Initially, the biosensor performance was tested in phosphate buffer solution (PBS) using B394, B131 and B4 biosensors. The best detection limits were obtained with B394; therefore, this biosensor was used to produce calibration data in milk with three OPs in the concentration range of 5 × 10(-6)M to 5 × 10(-12)M. The limit of detection (LOD) obtained in milk for CPO, EPOx and MOx were 5 × 10(-12)M, 5 × 10(-9)M and 5 × 10(-10)M, respectively, with a correlation coefficient R(2)=0.9910. The automated flow-based biosensor successfully quantified the OPs in different fat-containing milk samples. There were no false positives or false negatives observed for the analytical figures of merit for the constructed biosensors. This method is inexpensive, sensitive, portable, non-invasive and provides real-time results. This analytical system can provide rapid detection of highly toxic OPs in food matrices such as milk. 相似文献

Two new ruthenium(II) complexes, [Ru(phen)2(DNPIP)](ClO4)2 (1) and [Ru(phen)2(DAPIP)](ClO4)2 (2), were synthesized and characterized. The DNA-binding properties of these complexes were investigated using UV/vis absorption titration, viscosity measurements, thermal denaturation, and photoactivated cleavage. The DNA binding constants for complexes 1 and 2 are 2.63?±?0.25×10(5) M(-1) (s=2.45) and 1.51±0.18×10(5) M(-1) (s=1.34). The results indicated that these complexes interacted with DNA through the intercalative mode. The cytotoxicity in vitro of complexes 1 and 2 were assessed against BEL-7402, HepG-2, and MCF-7 cell lines by the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. Apoptosis was studied with the acridine orange/ethidium bromide staining method. The antiproliferative mechanism was explored with flow cytometry. Cellular uptake studies showed that complexes 1 and 2 can enter into the cytoplasm and accumulate in the nuclei. Cell cycle arrest and antioxidant activity were also investigated. 相似文献

In this paper a study of the electrocatalytic oxidation of salicylic acid (SA) at a Pt electrode coated with a Co/Al hydrotalcite-like compound (Co/Al HTLC coated-Pt) film is presented. The voltammetric behaviour of the modified electrode in 0.1M NaOH shows two different redox couples: Co(II)/Co(III) and Co(III)/Co(IV). The electrocatalysis occurs at the same potential of the latter couple, showing that Co(IV) centers act as the oxidant. The CV investigation demonstrates that the process is controlled both by mass and charge transfer and that the Co(IV) centers involved in the oxidation are two for each SA molecule. The estimated value of the catalytic constant is 4×10(4) M(-1) s(-1). The determination of salicylic acid was performed both by DPV and chronoamperometry. The linearity ranges and the LOD values resulted 1×10(-5) to 5×10(-4), 5×10(-7) to 1×10(-4), 6×10(-6) and 2×10(-7) M, respectively. The Co/Al HTLC electrode has been used for SA determination in BAYER Aspirina? and the obtained results are consistent with an independent HPLC analysis. 相似文献

In this work, a new series of arysulfonylhydrazine-1H-1,2,3-triazole derivatives were synthesized, and their ability to inhibit the in vitro replication of HSV-1 was evaluated. Among the 1,2,3-triazole derivatives, 1-[(5″-methyl-1″-(4?-fluorophenylamino)-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4″-yl)carbonyl]-2-(4'-methylphenylsulfonyl)hydrazine and 1-[(5'-methyl-1'-(2″,5″-dichlorophenylamino)-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4'-yl)carbonyl]-2-(phenylsulfonyl)hydrazine, with IC(50) values of 1.30 and 1.26 μM, respectively, displayed potent activity against HSV-1. Because these compounds have low cytotoxicity, their selectivity indices are high. Under the assay conditions, they have better performance than does the reference compound acyclovir. The structures of all of the compounds were confirmed by one- and two-dimensional NMR techniques ((1)H, (13)C-APT, COSY-(1)H×(1)H and HETCOR (1)J(CH)) and by elemental analysis. 相似文献

Organic gold complexes have different biological activity, depending on their potential for interactions with key functional molecules.The aim of this study was to investigate potential of several newly synthesized organic gold complexes to influence spontaneous motility of the Fallopian tubes.The effects of [Au(bipy)Cl(2)](+) (dichloride(2,2'-bipyridyl)aurate(III)-ion), aurothiomalate, [Au(DMSO)(2)Cl(2)]Cl and DMSO on spontaneous motility of Fallopian tubes were tested on the isolated tube segments in vitro. Aurothiomalate (from 2.9?×?10(-9) to 4.9?×?10(-4)?M/l), [Au(bipy)Cl(2)]Cl (from 3.3?×?10(-9) to 4.2?×?10(-5)?M/l) and DMSO (from 1.9?×?10(-8) to 1.0?×?10(-5)?M/l) did not affect spontaneous contractions of the isolated Fallopian tube ampulla, while [Au(DMSO)(2)Cl(2)]Cl (from 2.9?×?10(-9) to 4.2?×?10(-5)?M/l) showed concentration-dependent increase (stimulation) of spontaneous contractions of the isolated Fallopian tube isthmus, and remained without effect on the isolated ampulla.The drugs designed as organic gold complexes with weaker bonds between the gold itself and organic part of a molecule could adversely affect motility of the Fallopian tubes, and theoretically fertility of women taking such drugs in their reproductive age. 相似文献

Leu-enkephalin is an endogenous pain modulating opioid pentapeptide. Its development as a potential pharmaceutic has been hampered by poor membrane permeability and susceptibility to enzymatic degradation. The addition of an unnatural amino acid containing a lipidic side chain at the N-terminus and the modification of the C-terminus to a carboxyamide was performed to enhance the nasal delivery of the peptide. Two lipidic derivatives with varying side chain lengths (C(8)-Enk-NH(2) (1), C(12)-Enk-NH(2) (2)) and their acetylated analogues were successfully synthesised. Caco-2 cell monolayer permeability and Caco-2 cell homogenate stability assays were performed. C(8)-Enk-NH(2) (1) and its acetylated analogue Ac-C8-Enk-NH(2) (3) exhibited apparent permeabilities (mean±SD) of 2.51±0.75×10(-6)cm/s and 1.06±0.62×10(-6), respectively. C12-Enk-NH(2) (2) exhibited an apparent permeability of 2.43±1.26×10(-6) cm/s while Ac-C12-Enk-NH(2) (4) was not permeable through the Caco-2 monolayers due to its poor solubility. All analogues exhibited improved Caco-2 homogenate stability compared to Leu-Enk-NH(2) with t(?) values of: C8-Enk-NH(2) (1): 31.7 min, C(12)-Enk-NH(2) (2): 14.7 min, Ac-C8-Enk-NH(2) (3): 83 min, Ac-C(12)-Enk-NH(2) (4): 27 min. However, plasma stability assays revealed that the diastereoisomers of C8-Enk-NH(2) (1) did not degrade at the same rate, with the l isomer (t(1/2)=8.9 min) degrading into Leu-enkephalinamide and then des-Tyr-Leu-Enk-NH(2), whereas the d isomer was stable (t(1/2)=120 min). In vivo nasal administration of C(8)-Enk-NH(2) to male rats resulted in concentrations of 5.9±1.84×10(-2) μM in the olfactory bulbs, 1.35±1.01×10(-2) μM in the brain and 6.53±1.87×10(-3) μM in the blood 10 min after administration. 相似文献

Two new 3-hydroxyisoflavanones, (S)-3,4′,5-trihydroxy-2′,7-dimethoxy-3′-prenylisoflavanone (trivial name kenusanone F 7-methyl ether) and (S)-3,5-dihydroxy-2′,7-dimethoxy-2″,2″-dimethylpyrano[5″,6″:3′,4′]isoflavanone (trivial name sophoronol-7-methyl ether) along with two known compounds (dalbergin and formononetin) were isolated from the stem bark of Dalbergia melanoxylon. The structures were elucidated using spectroscopic techniques. Kenusanone F 7-methyl ether showed activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis, whereas both of the new compounds were inactive against the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum at 10 μg/ml. Docking studies showed that the new compounds kenusanone F 7-methyl ether and sophoronol-7-methyl ether have high affinity for the M. tuberculosis drug target INHA. 相似文献

Two ruthenium (II) complexes [Ru(dmb)2(APIP)](ClO4)2 (APIP=2-(2-aminophenyl)imidazo[4,5-f?][1,10]phenanthroline, dmb=4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine; 1) and [Ru(dmb)2(HAPIP)](ClO4)2 (HAPIP=2-(2-hydroxyl-4-aminophenyl)imidazo[4,5-f?][1,10]phenanthroline; 2) were synthesized and characterized. DNA binding was investigated by electronic absorption titration, luminescence spectra, thermal denaturation, viscosity measurements, and photocleavage. The DNA binding constants for complexes 1 and 2 were 4.20 (±0.14)×10(4) and 5.45 (±0.15)×10(4) M(-1). The results suggest that these complexes partially intercalate between the base pairs. The cytotoxicity of complexes 1 and 2 was evaluated by MTT assay. Cellular uptake was observed under fluorescence microscopy; complexes 1 and 2 can enter into the cytoplasm and accumulate in the nuclei. Apoptosis and the antioxidant activity against hydroxyl radicals (?OH) were also explored. 相似文献

A simple, label-free electrochemical impedance-spectroscopy method for sequence-specific detection of DNA using a 4-aminoethylbenzenediazonium (AEBD) salt as a binder for amino-modified probe DNA is reported. This novel method simplifies the anchoring of DNA at the GC surface and opens new ways for the detection of hybridization. The hybridization of target DNA, without and with mismatches, with the probe DNA anchored at the GC surface modified with AEBD, greatly increases the interfacial electron transfer resistance at the double-stranded DNA modified electrodes for the redox couple Fe(CN)(6)(3-/4-). The resistance was measured using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The sensor response increased linearly with logarithm of concentration of target DNA in the range 2×10(-12)÷2×10(-6) M. The obtained quantification limit was circa 6.5×10(-17) mole in a 7 μL droplet and corresponded to a concentration of 9.2×10(-12) M of target DNA in the sample. This limit is equivalent to the detection of circa 4×10(7) copies of DNA in a 7 μL droplet or circa 5.7×10(12) DNA copies in one litre of sample. 相似文献

An integrated microfluidic system for rapid screening of alpha-fetoprotein-specific aptamers 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
An electrically neutral cobalt complex, Co(Eim)(4)(NCS)(2) (Eim=1-ethylimidazole, NCS=isothiocyanate) was synthesized and its interaction with double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) was comprehensively studied by electrochemical methods on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE). The experimental results revealed that the cobalt complex could interact with dsDNA via a specific groove-binding mode with an affinity constant of 3.6×10(5)M(-1). The surface-based studies showed that Co(Eim)(4)(NCS)(2) could electrochemically accumulate within the immobilized dsDNA layer rather than single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) layer. Based on this fact, the cobalt complex was utilized as an electrochemical hybridization indicator for the detection of oligonucleotides related to CaMV35S promoter gene. The results showed that the developed biosensor presented very low background interference due to the negligible affinity of the Co(Eim)(4)(NCS)(2) complex with ssDNA. The hybridization specificity experiments further indicated that the biosensor could well discriminate the complementary sequence from the base-mismatched and the non-complementary sequences. The complementary target sequence could be quantified over the range from 5.0×10(-9)M to 2.0×10(-6)M with a detection limit of 2.0×10(-10)M. 相似文献
