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.
