摘要
Overlapping voltammetric signals, accrued from redox processes of nucleobases, do not permit discrimination between short oligonucleotides and chromosomal DNA molecules when conventional electrochemical techniques are used. This article describes a new genoelectronic route for discriminating between short oligonucleotides and chromosomal DNA, based on the polypyrrole (PPy) doping process. Such a route relies on the profound effect of short nucleic acid dopants upon the redox activity of PPy, and hence on the square-wave voltammetric signal of the polymer-modified electrode in a blank electrolyte solution. The electropolymeric growth of PPy thus serves for preferential accumulation (by doping) of short oligonucleotides. High selectivity is demonstrated for voltammetric measurements of oligo(dG)(20) and oligo(dT)(20) in the presence of otherwise interfering ss- and ds-DNA. The signals for the oligonucleotides are also not affected by a large excess of chloride or phosphate ions. The response of the new preconcentration (doping)-medium-exchange-voltammetric protocol is proportional to the concentration of the oligonucleotide dopant. Such a new recognition process, based on the doping of conducting-polymer networks, enhances the scope of electroanalysis of nucleic acids. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
