Nitrogen doped chiral carbonaceous nanotube for ultrasensitive DNA direct electrochemistry, DNA hybridization and damage study.
In the interest of developing novel electrocatalyst for high performance DNA biosensing, with distinctive chiral double helix nanostructure, nitrogen doped chiral carbonaceous nanotube (Chiral-CNT) was employed for ultrasensitive label-free DNA biosensing research. Chiral-CNT can quantitative detection of four DNA bases with high sensitivity and selectivity. Without any prehydrolysis and labeling process, direct electrochemistry of single-stranded DNA and double-stranded DNA, qualitative and quantitative detection of DNA hybridization (low detection limit: 0.0268 g L-1) were realized. Moreover, sensitive detection of DNA damage induced by fenton reagent was also realized with low detection limit of 0.0350 mg mL-1 and high sensitivity of 7.42 μA mg-1 mL. The high biosensing performance attributes to the unique chiral structure of Chiral-CNT, leads to efficient interreaction between Chiral-CNT and DNA molecule.
