Regenerable DNA-Functionalized Hydrogels for Ultrasensitive, Instrument-Free Mercury(II) Detection and Removal in Water
Abstract
Mercury is a highly toxic environmental pollutant with bioaccumulative properties. Therefore, new materials are required to not only detect but also effectively remove mercury from environmental sources such as water. We herein describe a polyacrylamide hydrogel-based sensor functionalized with a thymine-rich DNA that can simultaneously detect and remove mercury from water. Detection is achieved by selective binding of Hg(2+) between two thymine bases, inducing a hairpin structure where, upon addition of SYBR Green I dye, green fluorescence is observed. In the absence of Hg(2+), however, addition of the dye results in yellow fluorescence. Using the naked eye, the detection limit in a 50 mL water sample is 10 nM Hg(2+). This sensor can be regenerated using a simple acid treatment and can remove Hg(2+) from water at a rate of approximately 1 h(-1). This sensor was also used to detect and remove Hg(2+) from samples of Lake Ontario water spiked with mercury. In addition, these hydrogel-based sensors are resistant to nuclease and can be rehydrated from dried gels for storage and DNA protection. Similar methods can be used to functionalize hydrogels with other nucleic acids, proteins, and small molecules for environmental and biomedical applications.

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.
