Detection of processed genetically modified food using CIM monolithic columns for DNA isolation

The availability of sufficient quantities of DNA of adequate quality is crucial in polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based methods for genetically modified food detection. In this work, the suitability of anion-exchange CIM (Convective Interaction Media; BIA Separations, Ljubljana, Slovenia) monolithic columns for isolation of DNA from food was studied. Maize and its derivates corn meal and thermally pretreated corn meal were chosen as model food. Two commercially available CIM disk columns were tested: DEAE (diethylaminoethyl) and QA (quaternary amine). Preliminary separations were performed with standard solution of salmon DNA at different pH values and different NaCl concentrations in mobile phase. DEAE groups and pH 8 were chosen for further isolations of DNA from a complex matrix-food extract. The quality and quantity of isolated DNA were tested on agarose gel electrophoresis, with UV-scanning spectrophotometry, and by amplification with real-time PCR. DNA isolated in this way was of suitable quality for further PCR analyses. The described method is also applicable for DNA isolation from processed foods with decreased DNA content. Furthermore, it is more effective and less time-consuming in comparison with the existing proposed methods for isolation of DNA from plant-derived foods.     

Voltammetric Detection of the DNA Interaction with Toluidine Blue

Binding reactions of toluidine blue (TB) with herring fish DNA in pH 6.0 Britton–Robinson (B–R) buffer solution have been investigated by cyclic voltammetry and linear‐sweep voltammetry at a glassy carbon electrode. TB has a couple of well‐defined redox peaks. The addition of DNA into the TB solution resulted in the decrease of the redox‐peak currents and the shift negatively of the anodic peak potential. The values of the electrochemical parameters such as the electron number of the electrochemical reaction, the electron transfer coefficient and the electrochemical reaction standard rate constant in the absence and presence of DNA, as well as the values of binding constant and binding ratio of DNA with TB were obtained. Almost unchanged values of the electrochemical parameters in the absence and presence of DNA show that nonelectroactive complexes were formed when TB interacted with DNA. DNA concentration can be determined by the decrease of the peak current of TB. The binding mode of TB with DNA was discussed.     

The preparation of nano‐scope chitosan‐oligomer copper complexes and their interaction with DNA

Water‐soluble low molecular weight chitosan of nanometer level and its copper complexes were prepared, and characterized by IR spectra, elemental analysis and gel permeation chromatography (GPC). The modes and mechanism of these copper complexes interaction with DNA were studied by a fluorescent probe method and electrophoresis analysis. It is suggested that there are electrostatic and intercalation modes of copper complexes interacting with DNA. At first, the cationic complex electrostaticly binds to the negatively charged phosphate backbone of DNA, and then a portion of the complex intercalates between the base pairs on the DNA duplex strand.

循环伏安法研究天青A与dsDNA的相互作用

用循环伏安法研究了染料天青A(AA)与鲱鱼精DNA(dsDNA)在0.20 mol/L pH4.5的HAc-NaAc缓冲溶液中的相互作用。AA在玻碳电极上分别于-0.134 V和-0.082 V(vs.SCE)有一个还原峰和相应的氧化峰。加入dsDNA后,AA的还原峰和氧化峰电流均明显减小,但电子转移系数和电极反应标准速率常数基本不变。AA与dsDNA相互作用生成了一种非电活性的超分子复合物。求得AA与dsDNA复合物的结合比为n(AA)∶n(DNA)=3∶1,结合常数β=2.51×1015。紫外-可见吸收光谱法结果与循环伏安法结果一致。

Evanescent fluorobiosensor for the detection of polyaromatic hydrocarbon based on DNA intercalation

A flow-injection analysis (FIA) system coupled with an evanescent wave (EW) Biosensor employing total internal reflection of fluorescence radiation (TIRF) for the detection of polyaromatic hydrocarbon that intercalates into DNA is reported. A highly fluorescent intercalator, “ethidium bromide,” has been used as the reference compound for detection. The EW Biosensor was developed according to the procedure described earlier (1,2). Data on the analysis of Naphthalene, 3-methy cholanthrene, 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene, 1,2-benzanthracene, and some standard reference materials supplied by the National Institute of Standards and Technology are reported. The relative ability of the polyaromatic hydrocarbon to displace ethidium bromide, based on the relative binding ratio, is found to be on the order of 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene > 3-methylcholanthrene > 1,2-benzanthracene > napthalene.
