A DNAzyme Catalytic Beacon Sensor for Paramagnetic Cu2+ Ions in Aqueous Solution with High Sensitivity and Selectivity

Liu, Juewen, Lu, Yi·2007·Journal of the American Chemical Society

Abstract

Copper is a key metal ion both in environment monitoring and in biology, and exposure to high concentration of copper can cause adverse health effects. Although significant progresses have been made in designing fluorescent sensors for diamagnetic metal ions, few effective Cu 2+ sensors are known because of the paramagnetic nature of the metal ion. We herein report a highly sensitive and selective “turn-on” fluorescent Cu 2+ sensor based on an in vitro selected DNAzyme (also known as catalytic DNA or deoxyribozyme). The substrate strand of the DNAzyme was labeled with a fluorophore on the 3‘-end and a quencher on the 5‘-end, and the enzyme strand was labeled with a second quencher on the 5‘-end. Initially, the fluorescence was quenched. Addition of Cu 2+ induced oxidative cleavage of the substrate, and the fluorescence intensity increased by 13-fold. The sensor has a detection limit of 35 nM and a dynamic range up to 20 μM. The sensor selectivity is more than 2000-fold for Cu 2+ over Fe 2+ and UO 2 2+ and more than 10 000-fold over any other metal ions. The DNAzyme catalytic beacon method demonstrated here can be applied to designing turn-on fluorescent sensors for other paramagnetic metal ions.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
