  • Title: Monitoring DNA hybridization on alkyl modified silicon surface through capacitance measurement.
    Author: Wei F, Sun B, Guo Y, Zhao XS.
    Journal: Biosens Bioelectron; 2003 Aug 15; 18(9):1157-63. PubMed ID: 12788558.
    Abstract:
    Single strand oligodeoxynucleotide is attached to the alkyl modified silicon surface through a peptide bond. The oligodeoxynucleotide-modified silicon substrate is used as a working electrode in an electrochemical cell system. After the electrode is treated by a solution containing strands of complementary oligodeoxynucleotide the Mott-Schottky measurements exhibit obvious negative shift in the flat band potential of the electrode, while in a control experiment treated with a solution of non-complementary oligodeoxynucleotide such a shift does not occur. The DNA hybridization is also manifested in a real time capacitance measurement. A DNA sensor based on the capacitance measurement could be more convenient than that based on a fluorescence detection.
