该工作以富含大量胸腺嘧啶(Thymine,T)核酸单链为识别分子,SYBR Green I (SG)为荧光基团,建立了一种简单、灵敏的荧光增强法检测Hg2+。由于T-Hg2+-T键的形成,富T单链自我折叠或者两两配对形成双链DNA结构,当溶液中的SG嵌入DNA双链中时,SG荧光强度显著增强。实验结果表明,SG荧光强度随着Hg2+浓度的增加而增加。在最优实验条件下,SG的荧光强度与Hg2+的浓度在4.000×10-7~2.000×10-6 mol/L范围内呈线性关系,检出限为3.900×10-8 mol/L。该方法在含5.0%湘江水实际样品中获得的回收率为98.72%~104.5%,因此该传感器可用于实际湘江水样品中Hg2+的测量。
Mercury is one of the most toxic heavy metals that present in environment. Therefore, a sensitive and se-lective sensing system for mercury detection is highly demanded. This paper described a fluorescent sensor using a label free Hg2+specific DNA probe(43mer-T18Stem) and an intercalation dye SYBR Green I(SG). As is known to all, Hg2+can specifically interact with thymine base to form strong and stable thymine-Hg2+-thymine (T-Hg2+-T) com-plexes. This specific T-Hg2+-T formation affected the hybridization of the Hg2+specific probe and the intercalation of SG. The proposed sensor showed a linear response in the range of 4.000×10-7~2.000×10-6 mol/L of Hg2+with a detec-tion limit of 3.900×10-8 mol/L. The sensor revealed good recovery rates from 98.72%to 102.8%, indicating that the sensing system can be utilized for the determination of Hg2+in real samples.
