Abstract
A tetrahedral DNA probe can effectively overcome the steric effects of a single-stranded probe to obtain well-controlled density and minimize nonspecific adsorption. Herein, a highly sensitive electrochemical biosensor is fabricated for determination of protein using a tetrahedral DNA probe and rolling circle amplification (RCA). N- and P-co-doped graphene (NP-rGO) is prepared, and AuNPs are then electrodeposited on it for DNA probe immobilization. Benefitting from the synergistic effects of the excellent electrical conductivity of NP-rGO, the stability of the tetrahedral DNA probe and the signal amplification of RCA, the biosensor achieves a low limit of 3.53 × 10-14M for thrombin and a wide linear range from 1 × 10-13 to 1 × 10-7M. This study provides a sensitive and effective method for the detection of protein in peripheral biofluids, and paves the way for future clinical diagnostics and treatment of disease.
