An Enzyme-Based E-DNA Sensor for Sequence-Specific Detection of Femtomolar DNA Targets

Abstract

In this work, we report an enzyme-based E-DNA sensor for the sequence-specific detection of nucleic acids. This DNA sensor employs a "stem-loop" DNA probe dually labeled with biotin and digoxigenin (DIG). The probe is immobilized at an avidin-modified electrode surface via the biotin-avidin bridge, and the DIG serves as an affinity tag for the enzyme binding. In the initial state of the sensor, the probe adopts the stem-loop structure, which shields DIG from being approached by a bulky horseradish peroxidase-linked-anti-DIG antibody (anti-DIG-HRP) due to the steric effect. After hybridization, the probe undergoes a significant conformational change, forcing DIG away from the electrode. As a result, the DIG label becomes accessible by the anti-DIG-HRP, and the target hybridization event can be sensitively transduced via the enzymatically amplified electrochemical current signal. By using this new strategy, we demonstrate that the prototype E-DNA sensor has been able to detect as low as femtomolar DNA targets with excellent differentiation ability for even single mismatches.

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.
