Electrochemical Investigation of Oligonucleotide-DNA Hybridization on Poly(4-Methoxyphenethylamine)

Abstract: This work describes the immobilization of purine and pyrimidine bases and immobilization/hybridization of synthetic oligonucleotides on graphite electrodes modified with poly(4-methoxyphenethylamine) produced in acid medium. The immobilization of adenine, guanine, cytosine and thymine on these modified electrodes was efficient, producing characteristic peaks. Another relevant observation is that, according to the literature, pyrimidine bases, cytosine and thymine are more difficult to detect. However, when imm… Show more

“…This is justified by helix formation of the double strand DNA, with a significant change in the flexibility and size of the DNA, increasing the distance of the double strand formed with the electrode surface, due to the lower conformational flexibility, resulting in decrease of the charge transfer. Similar effect was observed in assays with synthetic oligonucleotides, using methylene blue as indicator 18…”

“…This phenomenon occurs due to the fact that single‐stranded DNA presents higher degree of adsorption and high proximity at the electrode surface, due to its higher conformational flexibility, favoring the charge transfer between probe and the surface electrode. After hybridization, hydrogen bonds are formed between complementary sequences, leading to a duplex, which is more difficult to oxidize the bases .…”

“…Electrochemical DNA sensing bears advantages as fast response time, high sensitivity, and low cost . This technique employs immobilized DNA sequences on the sensor surface as a recognition element and the sequence‐specific hybridization can be monitored and analyzed . The hybridization signal can be either directly detected (by monitoring the DNA oxidation or reduction process) or indirectly detected (using an indicator of the hybridization) .…”
