A novel and sensitive electrochemical approach for sequence-specific DNA detection based on polyamidoamine (PAMAM) and signal amplification with nanoparticles (NPs) is reported. A gold electrode was first modified with 3-mercaptopropionic acid, and then reacted with an amino-terminated polyamidoamine (PAMAM, G 4.0-NH(2)) to obtain a thin film. Single-stranded 3'-biotin end-labeled oligonucleotide was immobilized onto the film to obtain a stable recognition layer through biotin-avidin combination to detect complementary target, using signal amplification with Au NPs and [Ru(NH(3))(6)](3+) as redox electroactive indicators. The properties of the avidin/PAMAM/3-mercaptopropionic acid (RSH)/Au, the characteristics of the immobilization and hybridization of DNA were studied by cyclic voltammetry (CV), difference pulse voltammetry (DPV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The dynamic detection range of the sequence-specific DNA was from 1.4 x 10(-11) to 2.7 x 10(-14) mol L(-1) and the detection limit was 1.4 x 10(-14) mol L(-1). The DNA sensor not only showed low detection limit, but also exhibited excellent selectivity against two-base mismatched DNA.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009693 Nucleic Acid Hybridization Widely used technique which exploits the ability of complementary sequences in single-stranded DNAs or RNAs to pair with each other to form a double helix. Hybridization can take place between two complimentary DNA sequences, between a single-stranded DNA and a complementary RNA, or between two RNA sequences. The technique is used to detect and isolate specific sequences, measure homology, or define other characteristics of one or both strands.

D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).

D006046 Gold A yellow metallic element with the atomic symbol Au, atomic number 79, and atomic weight 197. It is used in jewelry, goldplating of other metals, as currency, and in dental restoration. Many of its clinical applications, such as ANTIRHEUMATIC AGENTS, are in the form of its salts.
D012680 Sensitivity and Specificity Binary classification measures to assess test results. Sensitivity or recall rate is the proportion of true positives. Specificity is the probability of correctly determining the absence of a condition. (From Last, Dictionary of Epidemiology, 2d ed) Specificity,Sensitivity,Specificity and Sensitivity
D015342 DNA Probes Species- or subspecies-specific DNA (including COMPLEMENTARY DNA; conserved genes, whole chromosomes, or whole genomes) used in hybridization studies in order to identify microorganisms, to measure DNA-DNA homologies, to group subspecies, etc. The DNA probe hybridizes with a specific mRNA, if present. Conventional techniques used for testing for the hybridization product include dot blot assays, Southern blot assays, and DNA:RNA hybrid-specific antibody tests. Conventional labels for the DNA probe include the radioisotope labels 32P and 125I and the chemical label biotin. The use of DNA probes provides a specific, sensitive, rapid, and inexpensive replacement for cell culture techniques for diagnosing infections.
