摘要
A novel system for the detection of DNA hybridization in a homogeneous format is developed. This method is based on fluorescence quenching by gold nanoparticles used as both nanoscaffolds for the immobilization of capture sequences and nanoquenchers of fluorophores attached to detection sequences. The oligonucleotide-functionalized gold nanoparticles are synthesized by derivatizing the colloidal gold solution with 5'-thiolated 12-base oligonucleotides. Introduction of sequence-specific target DNAs (24 bases) into the mixture containing dye-tagged detection sequences and oligonucleotide-functionalized gold nanoparticles results in the quenching of carboxytetramethylrhodamine-labeled DNA fluorescence because DNA hybridization occurs and brings fluorophores into close proximity with oligonucleotide-functionalized gold nanoparticles. The quenching efficiency of fluorescence increases with the target DNA concentration and provides a quantitative measurement of sequence-specific DNA in sample. A linearity is obtained within the range from 1.4 to 92 nM. The target sequence is detected down to 2 nM. This new system not only overcomes many of the drawbacks inherent in radioisotopic measurement or enzyme-linked assay but also avoids the requirement for the stem-loop structure compared with conventional molecular beacons. Furthermore, the background signal that is defined as fluorescence quenching arising from electrostatic attraction between positively charged fluorophores and negatively charged gold nanoparticles is comparatively low due to electrostatic repulsion between negatively charged oligonucleotides. In addition, this is a homogeneous assay that can offer the potential to be monitored in real time, be amenable to automation, eliminate washing steps, and reduce the risk of contamination.
