    Abstract:
    In this article, a simple, highly sensitive and selective electrochemical DNAzyme sensor for Pb(2+) was developed on the basis of a 8-17 DNAzyme cleavage-induced template-independent polymerization and alkaline phosphatase amplification strategy. The hairpin-like substrate strand (HP DNA) of 8-17 DNAzyme was firstly immobilized onto the electrode. In the presence of Pb(2+) and the catalytic strand of 8-17 DNAzyme, the HP DNA could be cleaved to expose the free 3'-OH terminal, which could be then utilized for the cascade operation by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdTase) for the base extension to incorporate biotinylated dUTP (dUTP-biotin). The further conjugated streptavidin-labeled alkaline phosphatase (SA-ALP) then catalyzed conversion of electrochemically inactive 1-naphthyl phosphate (1-NP) for the generation of electrochemical response signal. The currently fabricated Pb(2+) sensor effectively combines triply cascade amplification effects including cyclic Pb(2+)-dependent DNAzyme cleavage, TdTase-mediated base extension and enzymatic catalysis of ALP. An impressive detection limit of 0.043nM toward Pb(2+) with an excellent selectivity could be ultimately obtained, which was superior than most of the electrochemical methods. Thus, the developed amplification strategy opens a promising avenue for the detection of metal ions and may extend for the detection of other nucleic acid-related analytes.
