Abstract: | A new and sensitive electrochemical DNA hybridization detection assay, using tris(2,2′-bipyridyl)cobalt(III) Co(bpy)33+]-doped silica nanoparticles as the oligonucleotide (ODN) labeling tag, and based on voltammetric detection of Co(bpy)33+ inside silica nanoparticles, is described. Electro-active Co(bpy)33+ is not possible for directly linking with DNA, it is doped into the silica nanoparticles in the process of nanoparticles synthesis for DNA labeling with trimethoxysilylpropydiethylenetriamine (DETA) and glutaraldehyde as linking agents. The Co(bpy)33+ labeled DNA probe is used to hybridize with target DNA immobilized on the surface of glassy carbon electrode. Only the complementary sequence DNA (cDNA) could form a double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) with the DNA probe labeled with Co(bpy)33+ and give an obvious electrochemical response. A three-base mismatch sequence and non-complementary sequence had negligible response. Due to the large number of Co(bpy)33+ molecules inside silica nanoparticles linked to oligonucleotide DNA probe, the assay showed a high sensitivity. It allows the detection at levels as low as 2.0×10−10 mol l−1 of the target oligonucleotides. |
