偶氮苯衍生物自组装单分子膜中的分子取响

Studies on biotin–avidin indirect conjugated technology for a piezoelectric DNA sensor

Because of their high sensitivity, piezoelectric sensor techniques are extremely useful for environmental or clinical analysis. We developed a piezoelectric crystal DNA biosensor for the detection of the hybridization reaction based on the self-assembled monolayer technology and biotin–avidin system. 3,3′-Dithiopropionic acid was applied to form a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) on the gold surface of the quartz crystal. Avidin was coated on the gold electrode conjugated with 1-ethyl-3-[3-(dimethylamino)propyl]-carbodiimide (EDC) and N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS), and then biotinylated nucleotide acids were immobilized on the gold electrode surface through the specific interaction of biotin and avidin. Our results indicated that, using this immobilization method, the piezoelectric DNA sensor shows a higher sensitivity and specificity in detecting the hybridization reaction. The sensor can be used repeatedly by electrode regeneration.     

DNA-modified electrodes; part 4: optimization of covalent immobilization of DNA on self-assembled monolayers

The covalent immobilization of DNA onto self-assembled monolayer (SAM) modified gold electrodes (SAM/Au) was studied by X-ray photoelectron spectrometry and electrochemical method so as to optimize its covalent immobilization on SAMs. Three types of SAMs with hydroxyl, amino, and carboxyl terminal groups, respectively, were examined. Results obtained by both X-ray photoelectron spectrometry and cyclic voltammetry show that the largest covalent immobilization amount of dsDNA could be gained on hydroxyl-terminated SAM/Au. The ratio of amount of dsDNA immobilized on hydroxyl-terminated SAMs to that on carboxyl-terminated SAMs and to that on amino-terminated SAMs is (3-3.5): (1-1.5): 1. The dsDNA immobilized covalently on hydroxyl-terminated SAMs accounts for 82.8-87.6% of its total surface amount (including small amount of dsDNA adsorbed). So the hydroxyl-terminated SAM is a good substrate for the covalent immobilization of dsDNA on gold surfaces.     

Self-assembled monolayers of a hydroquinone-terminated alkanethiol onto gold surface. Interfacial electrochemistry and Michael-addition reaction with glutathione

An electroactive self-assembled monolayer (SAM) was fabricated by covalent attachment of a novel hydroquinone-terminated dodecanethiol onto the gold surface and its electrochemical behavior was investigated using cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The capability of the designed SAM in immobilization of organic molecules onto the gold surface was studied utilizing the Michael-addition as a model reaction. The results obtained from cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance and grazing incidence Fourier transform infrared (GI-FTIR) spectroscopy revealed that, upon applying an anodic potential to the Au-SAM electrode system in the presence of glutathione, the electrochemically generated p-quinone participated in a Michael-addition reaction with glutathione and the corresponding Michael adduct was formed at the solid–liquid interface. The kinetic parameters were then derived for this interfacial Michael-addition reaction.     

A Sensitive Nanoporous Gold-Based Electrochemical DNA Biosensor for Escherichia coli Detection

A sensitive electrochemical DNA biosensor based on a mixed monolayer structure self-assembled at nanoporous gold (NPG) electrode surface was prepared for Escherichia coli (E. coli) detection. The NPG was fabricated on gold electrode, onto which thiolated oligonucleotides (SH-DNA) and mercaptohexanol (MCH) were covalently linked forming a mixed self-assembled monolayer (SAM). The hybridization between the SH-DNA/MCH modified biosensor and E. coli DNA was monitored with differential pulse voltammetry measurement using methylene blue (MB) as the hybridization indicator. The biosensor can detect 1 × 10^?12 M DNA target and 50 cfu/μL E. coli without any nucleic acid amplification steps. The detection limit was lowered to 50 cfu/mL after 5.0 h of incubation.     

In vitro haemocompatibility and stability of two types of heparin-immobilized silicon surfaces

Heparin was covalently immobilized onto a silicon surface by two different methods, carbodiimide-based immobilization and photo-immobilization. In the former method, a (3-aminopropyl) trimethoxysilane (APTMS) self-assembled monolayer (SAM) or multilayer was first coated onto the silicon surface as the bridging layer, and heparin was then attached to the surface in the presence of water-soluble carbodiimide. In the latter method, an octadecyltrichlorosilane (OTS) SAM was coated on the silicon surface as the bridging layer, and heparin was modified by attaching photosensitive aryl azide groups. Upon UV illumination, the modified heparin was then covalently immobilized onto the surface. The hydrophilicity of the silicon surface changed after each coating step, and heparin aggregates on APTMS SAM and OTS SAM were observed by atomic force microscopy (AFM). In vitro haemocompatibility assays demonstrated that the deposition of APTMS SAM, APTMS multilayer and OTS SAM enhanced the silicon's haemocompatibility, which was further enhanced by the heparin immobilization. There is no evident distinction regarding the haemocompatibility between the heparin-immobilized surfaces by both methods. However, heparin on silicon with APTMS SAM and multilayer as the bridging layers is very unstable when tested in vitro with a saline solution at 37 °C, due to the instability of APTMS SAM and multilayer on silicon. Meanwhile, photo-immobilized heparin on silicon with OTS SAM as the bridging layer showed superb stability.     

Formation of a protein monomolecular layer by a combined technique of LB and SA methods

This paper describes a technique developed for the formation of the self-assembled protein monomolecular layer. The main idea is a direct transfer of protein molecules consisting of a Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) film onto the surface of another chemically modified metal substrate and induction of the spontaneous formation of a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) by chemisorption without protein aggregates. In the present experiments, a cytochrome c (cyt c) SAM on a gold substrate was prepared by incubating a EDC/MUA-modified gold substrate overlaid with a cyt c LB film in a phosphate buffer solution. Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) image of a cyt c SAM shows that the size of cyt c clusters in the most part of the substrate is approximately 5 nm, indicating the cyt c monomolecular layer. The rectifying property of a cyt c monolayer was confirmed to remain by an asymmetric I-V curve in the applied bias from -1 V to 1 V.     

Electrochemical properties of niosomes modified Au electrode and DNA recognition

Non-ionic surfactant vesicles (NSVs), also referred to as niosomes, have been studied as an alternative to conventional liposomes. In this paper, electrochemical inspection of the interaction between Herring sperm DNA and niosomes has been investigated after a simple and novel method for the formation of niosomes on Au electrode. Each step of electrode modification has been confirmed with cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The assembly of octadecanethiol (ODT) layer on the electrode surface generates a packed film that introduces a barrier to the interfacial electron transfer (R(et)), and the subsequent immobilization of niosomes onto the self-assembled monolayer (SAM) layer results in a further increase of R(et), due to the formed bilayer almost blocked the redox probe to the electrode surface. When Herring sperm DNA was added, the R(et) value decreased, indicating that the barrier of the redox probe to the surface was disrupted. The addition of DNA caused the formation of some transmembrane channels for the redox probe across the niosomes. A good linear relationship between R(et) value and DNA concentration was found over the 0-0.05 mg mL(-1) concentration range.     

Surface plasmon resonance spectroscopic chiral discrimination using self-assembled leucine derivative monolayer

Pirkle-type chiral stationary phases (CSPs) showed excellent enantiomeric separation for amino acid derivatives by forming energetically different two transient diastereomeric pi-pi donor-acceptor complexes with two enantiomers. A CSP derived from N-(3,5-dinitrobenzoyl) leucine with a thiol ending group for immobilization on Au was synthesized and self-assembled on Au surface as chiral sensing layer. The monolayer characterized by spectroscopic and microscopic methods such as AFM, FTIR reflection absorption spectroscopy (FTIR-RAS) and cyclic voltammetry (CV). The enantiospecific detection onto CSP of the leucine derivative was studied by surface plasmon resonance (SPR). (S)-CSP SAM showed high chiral differential detection for (S)-analyte in a range of 1.0x10(-9) to 1.0x10(-4) M. In combination with the SPR method, the leucine derivative monolayer provided a reliable and simple experimental platform for enantiospecific detection.     

Immobilization of liposomes onto quartz crystal microbalance to detect interaction between liposomes and proteins

To study the interaction between liposomes and proteins, intact liposomes were immobilized on a metal planar support by chemical binding and/or bioaffinity using a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM). A large decrease in the resonance frequency of quartz crystal was observed when the QCM, modified by a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) of carboxythiol, was added to liposome solutions. The stable chemical immobilization of intact liposomes onto SAM was judged according to the degree with which adsorbed mass depended on the prepared size of liposomes, as well as on the activation time of SAMs when amino-coupling was introduced, where the liposome coverage of electrodes was 69+/-8% in optimal conditions. When avidin-biotin binding was used on amino-coupling liposome layers, liposome immobilization finally reached 168% coverage of the electrode surface. Denatured protein was also successfully detected according to the change in the frequency of the liposome-immobilized QCM. The adsorbed mass of denatured carbonic anhydrase from bovine onto immobilized liposomes showed a characteristic peak at a concentration of guanidine hydrochloride that corresponded to a molten globule-like state of the protein, although the mass adsorbed onto deactivated SAM increased monotonously.     

Gold nanoparticles chemisorbed by a terphenyldithiol self-assembled monolayer for fabrication of a protein biosensor

In this study, improved detection of bovine serum albumin (BSA) was achieved by use of a fabricated surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensor. Terphenyldithiol (TPDT) was self-assembled on a gold substrate, then gold nanoparticles (Au-NPs) were chemisorbed on to the TPDT monolayer by strong bonding with the terminal thiol groups of the TPDT. The new sensor obtained was tested for immobilization of protein. The SPR results revealed much better detection of BSA by Au-NPs chemisorbed on the TPDT self-assembled monolayer (SAM) than by the bare SAM on the gold substrate.
