A Reduced Graphene Oxide‐based Electrochemical DNA Biosensor for the Detection of Interaction between Cisplatin and DNA based on Guanine and Adenine Oxidation Signals

A glassy carbon electrode (GCE) was modified by electrochemically reduced graphene oxide (ERGO) for subsequent dsDNA immobilization. The interaction of cisplatin with dsDNA was studied at this modified electrode. Quantitative investigations were performed by adsorptive transfer stripping voltammetry (AdTSV) using differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). The morphology and structure of graphene oxide (GO) and ERGO modified GCEs (GO/GCE and ERGO/GCE, respectively) were characterized by UV‐vis, FT‐IR, Raman spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry. Compared with the bare GCE and the GO/GCE, the ERGO/GCE exhibited excellent electrocatalytic activity towards the oxidation of dsDNA due to guanine and adenine groups, testified by high oxidation peak currents and decreased oxidation potentials. The interaction of micromolar concentrations of cisplatin with surface confined dsDNA was readily detected as inferred from the decrease of the voltammetric oxidation peaks of guanine and adenine. This trend was significantly greater at the ERGO/GCE compared to the GO/GCE. The interaction of cisplatin with dsDNA was also studied in solution phase by AdTSV with detection at the ERGO/GCE.

Dopamine-melanin colloidal nanospheres (Dpa-melanin CNDs)–graphene composites-modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE) was prepared by a simple procedure and then successfully used to simultaneously determine guanine and adenine. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were used to characterize the morphology of the Dpa-melanin CNSs–graphene composite. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) were used to characterize the electrode modifying process. Differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) was used to study the electrocatalytic activity toward the electrochemical oxidation of guanine and adenine. The modified electrode exhibited enhanced electrocatalytic behavior and good stability for the simultaneous determination of guanine and adenine compared with bare GCE. The electrochemical biosensor exhibited wide linear range of 0.5 to 150 μM with detection limit of 0.05 and 0.03 μM for guanine and adenine detection (S/N?=?3), respectively. Furthermore, the biosensor showed high sensitivity, good selectivity, good reproducibility, and long-term stability to guanine and adenine detection. At the same time, the fabricated electrode was successfully applied for the determination of guanine and adenine in denatured DNA samples with satisfying results. These results demonstrated that Dpa-melanin CNSs–graphene composite was a promising substrate for the development of high-performance electrochemical biosensor.

An electrochemical sensor for simultaneous determination of dopamine (DA), uric acid (UA), guanine (G), and adenine (A) has been constructed by copolymerizing melamine monomer and Ag ions on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) with cyclic voltammetry.
