Abstract
An ultrasensitive electrochemical method for determination of DNA is developed based on counting of single magnetic nanobeads (MNBs) corresponding to single DNA sequences combined with a double amplification (DNA amplification and enzyme amplification). In this method, target DNA (t-DNA) is captured on a streptavidin-coated substrate via biotinylated capture DNA. Then, MNBs functionalized with first-probe DNAs (p1-DNA-MNBs) are conjugated to t-DNA sequences with a ratio of 1:1. Subsequently, the p1-DNA-MNBs are released from the substrate via dehybridization. The released p1-DNA-MNBs are labeled with alkaline phosphatase (AP) using biotinylated second-probe DNAs (p2-DNAs) and streptavidin-AP conjugates. The resultant AP-p2-DNA-p1-DNA-MNBs with enzyme substrate disodium phenyl phosphate (DPP) are continuously introduced through a capillary as the microsampler and microreactor at 40 degrees C. AP on the AP-p2-DNA-p1-DNA-MNBs converts a huge number of DPP into its product phenol, and phenol zones are produced around each moving AP-p2-DNA-p1-DNA-MNB. The phenol zones are continuously delivered to the capillary outlet and detected by a carbon fiber disk bundle electrode at 1.05 V. An elution curve with peaks is obtained. Each peak is corresponding to a phenol zone relative to single t-DNA sequence. The peaks on the elution curve are counted for quantification. The number of the peaks is proportional to the concentration of t-DNA in a range of 5.0 x 10(-16) to 1.0 x 10(-13) mol/L.
