Abstract

In this work, a novel sensor based on gold nanoparticle-modified zirconium-metal-organic frameworks (MOF-801) and carboxyl-functionalized carbon nanotube (MWCNT-COOH) composite material was built successfully for electrochemical detection of guanine and adenine in DNA sample, which exhibits diverse advantages such as fast, convenience and high efficiency. Guanine and adenine were detected by the cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). Under the optimal conditions, MOF-801/MWCNT-COOH/ AuNPs/GCE delivered linear DPV responses to guanine in the range of 0.8 ~ 60, 60 ~ 180 μM and the adenine in the range of 0.8 ~ 60, 60 ~ 180 μM with the low detection limit of 0.09 μM for guanine and 0.08 μM for adenine, respectively. The advantages of this method include simplicity, rapidity, high sensitivity, good selectivity as well as low cost. The modified GCE was successfully applied to the analysis of guanine and adenine in DNA samples. • A new electrochemical sensor MOF-801/MWCNT-COOHs/AuNPs/GCE is prepared to simultaneously detecting guanine and adenine. • MWCNT-COOHs and AuNPs greatly improve the conductivity of the sensor and the resulted sensitivity. • This electrochemical sensor has good selectivity and sensitivity.
