    Abstract:
    The present work describes an ultrasensitive electrochemical sensor for determination of mercury(II) using deoxyribonucleic acid/poly-L-methionine-gold nanoparticles/pencil graphite electrode (DNA/PMET-AuNPs/PGE). To fabricate this biosensor, L-methionine (L-MET) was electropolymerized on the PGE surface followed by simultaneous electrochemical entrapment of AuNPs. Next, DNA was immobilized on the PMET-AuNPs/PGE by applying a 0.5 V potential. The surface area of modified and unmodified electrodes was determined by chronocoulometric technique. Hg2+ was detected in the linear dynamic range of 0.1 aM to 0.1 nM, and the detection limit was determined as 0.004 aM using square wave anodic stripping voltammetry (SWASV) under optimized conditions. The DNA/PMET-AuNPs/PGE demonstrated good selectivity toward Hg2+ against other metal ions such as V4+, Pb2+, Cr3+, Cd2+, Cu2+, Zn2+, Sn2+, In3+, Ge4+, and Fe3+. Real samples studies were carried out in sea water and fish samples.
