本文采用银染增强金纳米粒子(AuNPs)为信号因子,构建了一种新型的灵敏检测羟基自由基(·OH)的DNA电化学传感器.首先,巯基化的DNA1通过Au-S键自组装于金基底电极表面.然后.由Fenton反应产生的·OH可引起电极表面DNA1自组装层的氧化损伤裂解.未损伤的DNA1可与功能化AuNPs上的DNA2杂交.利用AuNPs对银离子的催化还原反应,将银原子沉积在AuNPs的周围,形成一层银外壳,再用差分脉冲伏安法(DPV)技术对沉积的银进行电化学检测,从而实现·OH的定量分析.研究结果表明,在最优实验条件下,该传感器检测·OH的线性范围为0.2~200μmol·L^-1,检测下限为50nmol·L^-1.该传感器有较好的重复性、选择性,并在抗氧化剂抗氧化能力评估方面具有潜在应用价值.
A novel DNA-based electrochemical sensor has been successfully constructed for sensitive detection of hydroxyl radical (. OH) based on the silver-enhanced gold nanoparticle label. Thiolated DNA1 was firstly immobilized on the gold electrode through Au--S bonds. The .OH generated from Fenton reaction could induce serious oxidative damage of the DNA1 layer on the electrode surface. Then DNA2-functionalized gold nanoparticles (DNA2-AuNPs) were linked on the electrode through the hybridization between DNA2 and undamaged DNA1. Based on the catalytic reduction of silver ion by AuNPs, a silver layer was formed on the surface of AuNPs. The quantitative assay of-OH was carried out by differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) detection of the deposited silver. Under the optimization conditions, the developed DNA-based biosensor could detect · OH quantitatively with wide linear range (0.2 · 200 μmol. Lt) and low detection limit (50 μmol·L^-1), and exhibited satisfactory selectivity and reproducibility. This electrochemical biosensor could have potential application in the evaluation of antioxidant capacity.
