    Abstract:
    We describe the fabrication of a sensitive electrochemical DNA biosensor for determination of Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC). The highly sensitive and selective electrochemical biosensor for DNA detection was constructed based on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) modified with gold nanoparticles (Au-NPs) and graphene (Gr). Then Au-NPs/Gr/GCE was characterized by scanning electro microscope (SEM), cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The hybridization detection was measured by diffierential pulse voltammetry (DPV) using methylene blue (MB) as the hybridization indicator. The dynamic range of detection of the sensor for the target DNA sequences was from 1 × 10(-12) to 1 × 10(-7)mol/L, with a detection limit of 2 × 10(-13)mol/L. The DNA biosensor had excellent specificity for distinguishing complementary DNA sequence in the presence of non-complementary and mismatched DNA sequence. The results demonstrated that the Au-NPs/Gr nanocomposite was a promising substrate for the development of high-performance electrocatalysts for determination of KPC.
