Abstract
An electrochemical biosensor for determination of DNA is developed based on T7 exonuclease-assisted regulatory strand displacement dual recycling signal amplification strategy. First, the hairpin probe recognized and bound the target DNA to form a double strand nucleotide structure, and then the T7 exonuclease was introduced. After be digested by T7 exonuclease, the target DNA was released and entered the next cycle of T7 exonuclease-assisted recycle amplification, while accompanied by a large number of mimic targets (output DNAs) into another cycle. Second, the mimic target reacted with double-chain substrated DNA (CP) by a regulated toehold exchange mechanism, yielding the product complex of detection probes with the help of assisted DNA (S). Finally, after many cycles, a large number of detection probes were produced for binding numerous streptavidin-alkaline phosphatases. The electrochemical biosensor showed very high sensitivity and selectivity with a dynamic response ranged from 0.1 fM to 10 pM with a detection limit of 31.6 aM. Furthermore, this proposed biosensor was successfully applied to the detection of target DNA in 20% diluted serum. The developed strategy has been demonstrated to have the potential for application in molecular diagnostics.
