Abstract
This paper reports a simple electrochemical approach for the detection of the ubiquitous protein lysozyme using aptamer-modified electrodes. Anti-lysozyme DNA aptamers were immobilized on gold surfaces by means of self-assembly, for which the surface density of aptamers was determined by cyclic voltammetric (CV) studies of redox cations (e.g., [Ru(NH3)6]3+) bound to the surface via electrostatic interaction with the DNA phosphate backbone. Upon incubation of the electrode with a solution containing lysozyme, the CV response of surface-bound [Ru(NH3)6]3+ changed substantially, and the relative decrease in the integrated charge of the reduction peak can be tabulated as a quantitative measure of the protein concentration. It is significant that the on-chip protein/aptamer binding constant and the optimized surface density to achieve the best detection limit can be evaluated. This biosensor is label-free and offers an alternative, sensitive, and versatile method for protein detection, which is beneficial to the ever-growing interests of fabricating portable bioanalytical devices with simple electrical readout protocols.
