ATP detection using a label-free DNA aptamer and a cationic tetrahedralfluorene

A simple and sensitive method for ATP detection using a label-free DNA aptamer as the recognition element and ethidium bromide (EB) as the signal reporter is reported. The ATP-binding aptamer undergoes a conformational switch from the aptamer duplex to the aptamer/target complex upon target binding, which induces the fluorescence change of intercalated EB emission. Good selectivity between ATP and CTP, GTP or UTP has been demonstrated, which is due to the specific recognition between the ATP aptamer and ATP. Using EB alone as a signal reporter, the ATP detection limit was estimated to be approximately 0.2 mM. When a light harvesting cationic tetrahedralfluorene was used as an energy donor to sensitize the intercalated EB emission, a 10-fold increase in detection limit and a 2-fold increase in detection selectivity was demonstrated. The sensitivity and selectivity of the tetrahedralfluorene sensitized assay is comparable to or better than most fluorescent ATP assays with multiple labels.     

A novel aptasensor strategy for protein detection based on G-quadruplex and exonuclease III-aided recycling amplification

The detection of biomarkers is of great significance in the diagnosis of numerous diseases,especially cancer.Herein,we developed a sensitive and universal fluorescent aptasensor strategy based on magnetic beads,DNA G-quadruplex,and exonuclease Ⅲ(Exo Ⅲ).In the presence of a target protein,a label-free single strand DNA(ssDNA)hybridized with the aptamer was released as a trigger DNA due to specific recognition between the aptamer and target.Subsequently,ssDNA initiates the ExoⅢ-aided recycling to amplify the fluorescence signal,which was caused by N-methylmesoporphyrin IX(NMM)insertion into the G-quadruplex structure.This proposed strategy combines the excellent specificity between the aptamer and target,high sensitivity of the fluorescence signal by G-quadruplex and ExoⅢ-aided recycling amplification.We selected(50-1200 nmol/L)MUC1,a common tumor biomarker,as the proof-of-concept target to test the specificity of our aptasenso r.Results reveal that the sensor sensitively and selectively detected the target protein with limits of detection(LODs)of 3.68 and 12.83 nmol/L in buffer solution and 10%serum system,respectively.The strategy can be easily applied to other targets by simply substituting corresponding aptamers and has great potential in the diagnosis and monitoring of several diseases.     

Adenosine Triphosphate Sensing by Electrocatalysis with DNAzyme

Electrocatalysis of redox enzymes shows wide application for biosensing. DNAzymes exhibiting specific catalytic activities have aroused great interest recently. However, there are few studies on the electrocatalysis between DNAzyme and electron mediator. In this paper, based on the electrocatalysis of methylene blue (MB) and horseradish peroxidase mimicking DNAzyme (HRP‐DNAzyme), an amplified electrochemical biosensor for the detection of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) was designed. In the present system, by means of the ATP‐aptamer interaction, two guanine‐rich DNA sequences, one of which was labeled with MB at the 5′ end, were assembled on the gold electrode. In the presence of K⁺ and hemin, the guanine‐rich DNA sequences transferred to HRP‐DNAzyme. The conformational change of the structure resulted in the approaching of MB and HRP‐DNAzyme which made the electrocatalytic process between MB and HRP‐DNAzyme possible. We used cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy to study the electrocatalytic process. The system was therefore utilized for amplified detection of ATP without imposing any new constraints to the platform which showed satisfactory result.     

Mass-amplifying quantum dots in a fluorescence polarization-based aptasensor for ATP

We report on a fluorescence polarization assay for the detection of the target analyte ATP by making use of an aptasensor and of mass-amplifying CdTe-CdS quantum dots. The ATP aptamer was modified with digoxin antigen and hybridized with its complementary DNA that was modified with the CdTe-CdS quantum dots. Following the addition of digoxin antibody, the mass-amplifying aptasensor probe is formed as a result of the immuno reaction. In the presence of ATP, the polarization of fluorescence decreases because the digoxin antibody becomes dissociated due to the recognition of the ATP by the ATP aptamer. Under optimized conditions, the method has a linear response to ATP in the 10 to 350 μM concentration range, and the limit of detection is 3.7 μM. The method combines the specific recognition capability of aptamers with the sensitivity of an immunoreaction. It has good selectivity and sensitivity, and can be used to detect ATP in serum samples.
