Title | Electrochemical detection method of complementarity to nucleic acid bases |
Abstract |
(US7169614) A convenient and commonly applicable method for the specific detection of a nucleic acid with an arbitrary sequence is provide. This method comprises attaching at least a nucleic acid single strand to an electrode, bringing the thus-obtained modified electrode in contact with a solution containing the analyte single-stranded nucleic acid, and measuring the redox reaction of the redox marker. |
Scope of claims |
[claim1] 1. A method for electrochemical detection of nucleobase pair complementarity, which comprises: contacting a modified electrode obtained by bonding at least a single stranded nucleic acid to an electrode so that the single-stranded nucleic acid is oriented vertically with respect to the surface of the electrode and the electrode is a gold electrode, with a solution containing an analyte single stranded nucleic acid and a redox marker, wherein the redox marker is [Mo (CN)6]4/13- or [Fe (CN)6]4/13-; and detecting the disappearance of an electric signal generated by reaction between the modified electrode and the redox marker, when the single stranded nucleic acid on the modified electrode and the analyte single stranded nucleic acid are complementary. [claim2] 2. The method for electrochemical detection of nucleobase pair complementarity of claim 1, wherein the electrode is a gold disk electrode. [claim3] 3. The method for electrochemical detection of nucleobase pair complementarity of claim 1, wherein a molecule that is not complementary to the analyte single stranded nucleic acid is bonded to the modified electrode along with the single stranded nucleic acid for vertically orienting the single stranded nucleic acid with respect to the surface of the electrode. [claim4] 4. The method for electrochemical detection of nucleobase pair complementarity of claim 3, wherein the single stranded nucleic acid and the molecule that is not complementary to the analyte single stranded nucleic acid form a mixed monolayer on the surface of the electrode. [claim5] 5. The method for electrochemical detection of nucleobase pair complementarity of claim 3, wherein the molecule that is not complementary to the analyte single stranded nucleic acid is 6-mercapto-1-hexanol. [claim6] 6. The method for electrochemical detection of nucleobase pair complementarity of claim 1, wherein the single stranded nucleic acid is a single stranded peptide nucleic acid. [claim7] 7. The method for electrochemical detection of nucleobase pair complementarity of claim 1, wherein the concentration of the analyte single stranded nucleic acid is 10-11 to 10-2 M. [claim8] 8. The method for electrochemical detection of nucleobase pair complementarity of claim 1, wherein the analyte single stranded nucleic acid is a single stranded DNA. [claim9] 9. The method for electrochemical detection of nucleobase pair complementarity of claim 1, wherein the redox marker is [Fe(CN)6]4-/3-. [claim10] 10. The method for electrochemical detection of nucleobase pair complementarity of claim 9, wherein the concentration of [Fe(CN)6]4-/3- is 0.1 to 1 mM. [claim11] 11. The method for electrochemical detection of nucleobase pair complementarity of claim 1, wherein the redox reaction is measured by voltammetry. [claim12] 12. A modified electrode for detecting nucleobase pair complementarity by the method of claim 1, which comprises a mixed monolayer of a peptide nucleic acid and a molecule that is not complementary to the analyte nucleic acid, formed on the surface of a gold disk electrode. |
