  • Title: Nucleic acid biosensor for detection of hepatitis B virus using 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline copper complex as electrochemical indicator.

    Journal: Anal Chim Acta; 2007 Jan 16; 582(1):158-63. PubMed ID: 17386488.
    Abstract:
    In this study, an electrochemical DNA biosensor was developed based on the recognition of target DNA by hybridization detection. The study was carried out using glassy carbon electrode (GCE) modified with lable-free 21-mer single-stranded oligonucleotides related to hepatitis B virus sequence via covalent immobilization and [Cu(dmp)(H(2)O)Cl(2)] (dmp=2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline) as an electrochemical indicator, whose sizes are comparable to those of the small groove of native double-duplex DNA. The method, which is simple and low cost, allows the accumulation of copper complex within the DNA layer. Electochemical detection was performed by cyclic voltammetry and differential pulse voltammetry over the potential range where the [Cu(dmp)(H(2)O)Cl(2)] was active. Numerous factors affecting the probe immobilization, target hybridization, and indicator binding reactions were optimized to maximize the sensitivity and speed the assay time. With this approach, a sequence of the hepatitis B virus could be quantified over the ranges from 8.82 x 10(-8) to 8.82 x 10(-7) M with a linear correlation of r=0.9937 and a detection limit of 7.0 x 10(-8) M. The [Cu(dmp)(H(2)O)Cl(2)] signal observed from probe sequence before and after hybridization with four bases mismatch containing sequence is lower than that observed after hybridization with complementary sequence.
