Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy for study of aptamer-thrombin interfacial interactions

A simple and highly sensitive electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) biosensor based on a thrombin-binding aptamer as molecular recognition element was developed for the determination of thrombin. The signal enhancement was achieved by using gold nanoparticles (GNPs), which was electrodeposited onto a glassy carbon electrode (GCE), as a platform for the immobilization of the thiolated aptamer. In the measurement of thrombin, the change in interfacial electron transfer resistance of the biosensor using a redox couple of [Fe(CN)₆]^3−/4− as the probe was monitored. The increase of the electron transfer resistance of the biosensor is linear with the concentration of thrombin in the range from 0.12 nM to 30 nM. The association and dissociation rate constants of the immobilized aptamer–thrombin complex were 6.7 × 10³ M⁻¹ s⁻¹ and 1.0 × 10⁻⁴ s⁻¹, respectively. The association and dissociation constants of three different immobilized aptamers binding with thrombin were measured and the difference of the dissociation constants obtained was discussed. This work demonstrates that GNPs electrodeposited on GCE used as a platform for the immobilization of the thiolated aptamer can improve the sensitivity of an EIS biosensor for the determination of protein. This work also demonstrates that EIS method is an efficient method for the determination of association and dissociation constants on GNPs modified GCE.     

Electrochemical aptasensor for tetracycline detection

An electrochemical aptasensor was developed for the detection of tetracycline using ssDNA aptamer that selectively binds to tetracycline as recognition element. The aptamer was highly selective for tetracycline which distinguishes minor structural changes on other tetracycline derivatives. The biotinylated ssDNA aptamer was immobilized on a streptavidin-modified screen-printed gold electrode, and the binding of tetracycline to aptamer was analyzed by cyclic voltammetry and square wave voltammetry. Our results showed that the minimum detection limit of this sensor was 10 nM to micromolar range. The aptasensor showed high selectivity for tetracycline over the other structurally related tetracycline derivatives (oxytetracycline and doxycycline) in a mixture. The aptasensor developed in this study can potentially be used for detection of tetracycline in pharmaceutical preparations, contaminated food products, and drinking water.     

Electrochemical detection of the MT-ND6 gene and its enzymatic digestion: Application in human genomic sample

A simple electrochemical biosensor was developed for the detection of the mitochondrial NADH dehydrogenase 6 gene (MT-ND6) and its enzymatic digestion by BamHI enzyme. This biosensor was fabricated by modification of a glassy carbon electrode with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs/GCE) and a probe oligonucleotide (ssDNA/AuNPs/GCE). The probe, which is a thiolated segment of the MT-ND6 gene, was deposited by self-assembling immobilization on AuNPs/GCE. Two indicators including methylene blue (MB) and neutral red (NR) were used as the electroactive indicators and the electrochemical response of the modified electrode was measured by differential pulse voltammetry. The proposed biosensor can detect the complementary sequences of the MT-ND6 gene. Also the modified electrode was used for the detection of an enzymatic digestion process by BamHI enzyme. The electrochemical biosensor can detect the MT-ND6 gene and its enzymatic digestion in polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-amplified DNA extracted from human blood. Also the biosensor was used directly for detection of the MT-ND6 gene in all of the human genome.

Selected ssDNA aptamers–graphene oxide-based fluorescent biosensor to detect sulfameter in milk

The abuse of sulfameter (SME) in animal husbandry can cause drug resistance and toxic or allergic reactions in humans. Therefore, it is very important to establish a simple, inexpensive, and efficient method for detecting SME in food. In this work, we propose a single fluorescent aptamer/graphene oxide (GO)-based biosensor to detect SME residues in milk. Aptamers that specifically bind to SME were screened using capture-SELEX and a ssDNA library immobilized on magnetic beads. The 68 active candidate aptamers were chemically synthesized for specificity and affinity characterization. Among the aptamers, the aptamer sulf-1 revealed the highest affinity (K_d = 77 ± 15 nM) to SME and was selected to construct a GO-based fluorescent biosensor for real milk sample detection. Under optimal conditions, the single fluorescent aptasensor had a wide linear range (R² was 0.997) from 7 to 336 ng/ml and a low detection limit of 3.35 ng/ml that was calculated with a 3SD/slope. The single fluorescent method was also validated using SME-fortified milk samples, showing average recoveries ranging from 99.01% to 104.60% with a relative standard deviation of less than 3.88%. These results demonstrate that this novel aptamer sensor provides an opportunity for sensitive, convenient, and accurate detection of SME residues in milk.     

Selective determination of dopamine with an amperometric biosensor using electrochemically pretreated and activated carbon/tyrosinase/Nafion®-modified glassy carbon electrode

Dopamine, the most important neurotransmitter in the human brain, controls various functions. Dopamine deficiency causes fatal neurological disorders such as Parkinson’s disease. Even though various types of electrochemical sensors have been studied to measure dopamine levels, they often have poor selectivity for dopamine due to co-existence of interfering substances (e.g. ascorbic acid). Herein, we aimed to develop a highly sensitive dopamine detection method in the co-existence of ascorbic acid, a major interfering substance in real sample by designing an electrochemically pretreated and activated carbon/tyrosinase/Nafion®-modified GCE as an amperometric dopamine biosensor. To maximize the biosensor performance, pH, volume of Nafion®, and scan rate were optimized. This electrochemically pretreated and activated carbon/tyrosinase/ Nafion®-modified GCE could detect as low as 50 μM of dopamine with a wide linear range (50 ~ 1,000 μM) within a few seconds. In addition, it had a sensitivity of 103mAM/cm², which was higher than all previously reported tyrosinasebased dopamine biosensors. In addition, interference effect caused by 4 mM of ascorbic acid was negligible in the co-existence of 1 mM of dopamine. Consequently, this electrochemically pretreated and activated carbon/tyrosinase/ Nafion®-modified GCE might be applicable as amperometric biosensor for selective detection of dopamine in real samples with interfering substances.     

Electrogenerated chemiluminescence detection of adenosine based on triplex DNA biosensor

A novel electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) biosensor based on the construction of triplex DNA for the detection of adenosine was designed. The ECL biosensor employs an aptamer as a molecular recognition element, and quenches ECL of tris(2,2'-bipyridine) ruthenium (Ru(bpy)(3)(2+)) by ferrocenemonocarboxylic acid (FcA). Through self-assembly technology, the ECL probe of thiolated hairpin adenosine aptamer tagged was self-assembled onto the surface of a gold electrode with an ECL signal producer Ru(bpy)(3)(2+) derivative (Ru-DNA-1). The adenosine aptamer, including a section of triplex characteristic chain, formatted triplex DNA with two other DNAs (DNA-2, Fc-DNA-3) in the presence of triplex DNA binder coralyne chloride (CORA). Fc-DNA-3 was tagged with an ECL quencher ferrocenemonocarboxylic acid (FcA), a quenching probe. In the presence of adenosine, the aptamer sequence (Ru-DNA-1) prefers to form the aptamer-adenosine complex with hairpin configuration and the switch of the DNA-1 occurs in conjunction with the generation of a strong ECL signal owing to the dissociation of a quenching probe. Meanwhile, a control experiment was performed; the ECL-duplex biosensor was designed to detect adenosine. The detection limits were 2.7×10(-10) mol L(-1) and 2.3×10(-9) mol L(-1) for the ECL-triplex DNA biosensor and ECL-duplex DNA biosensor, respectively, which demonstrated that the ECL-triplex DNA biosensor improved the sensitivity and specificity greatly.     

A signal-on electrochemiluminescence aptamer biosensor for the detection of ultratrace thrombin based on junction-probe

A novel signal-on junction-probe electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) aptamer biosensor has been developed for the detection of ultratrace thrombin based on a structure-switching ECL-quenching mechanism. The ECL aptamer biosensor comprises two main parts: an ECL substrate and an ECL intensity switch. The ECL substrate was made by modifying the complex of Au nanoparticle and ruthenium (II) tris-bipyridine (Ru(bpy)(3)(2+)-AuNPs) on the surface of gold electrode (GE), and the ECL intensity switch contains three probes designed according to the "junction-probe" strategy. The first probe is capture probe (Cp) which was functionalized with a thiol group at one end and covalently attached to Ru(bpy)(3)(2+)-AuNPs modified GE through S-Au bonding. The second probe is aptamer probe (Ap), which containing 15-base anti-thrombin DNA aptamer. The third one is ferrocene-labeled probe (Fp), which was functionalized with ferrocene tag at one end. We demonstrated that, in the absence of thrombin, Cp, Ap and Fp will hybridize to form a ternary "Y" junction structure and resulted in a quenching of ECL of Ru(bpy)(3)(2+). Whereas, in the presence of thrombin, the Ap prefers to form the G-quadruplex aptamer-thrombin complex and lead to an obvious recovery of ECL of Ru(bpy)(3)(2+), which provided a sensing platform for the detection of thrombin. Using this reusable sensing platform, a simple, rapid and selective signal-on ECL aptamer biosensor for the detection of thrombin with a detection limit of 8.0×10(-15) M has been developed. The success in the present biosensor served as a significant step towards the development of monitoring ultratrace thrombin in clinical detection.     

An acetylcholinesterase biosensor based on graphene–gold nanocomposite and calcined layered double hydroxide

In this study, a novel acetylcholinesterase-based biosensor was fabricated. Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) was immobilized onto a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) with the aid of Cu–Mg–Al calcined layered double hydroxide (CLDH). CLDH can provide a bigger effective surface area for AChE loading, which could improve the precision and stability of AChE biosensor. However, the poor electroconductibility of CLDHs could lead to the low sensitivity of AChE biosensor. In order to effectively compensate the disadvantages of CLDHs, graphene–gold nanocomposites were used for improving the electron transfer rate. Thus, the graphene–gold nanocomposite (GN-AuNPs) was firstly modified onto the GCE, and then the prepared CLDH-AChE composite was immobilized onto the modified GCE to construct a sensitive AChE biosensor for pesticides detection. Relevant parameters were studied in detail and optimized, including the pH of the acetylthiocholine chloride (ATCl) solution, the amount of AChE immobilized on the biosensor and the inhibition time governing the analytical performance of the biosensor. The biosensor detected chlorpyrifos at concentrations ranging from 0.05 to 150 μg/L. The detection limit for chlorpyrifos was 0.05 μg/L.
