  1. DNA Based Biosensors Yingli Fu Biological Resources Engineering University of Maryland, College Park December 10, 2003

  2. Outline • Introduction • Principles of DNA biosensors • Types of DNA biosensors • Improvement of DNA biosensors • DNA biosensor miniaturization • References

  3. Introduction • Biosensor: • DNA biosensor: Motivated by the application to clinical diagnosis and genome mutation detection

  4. DNA Structure • DNA structures---double helix (complementary) • 4 bases: Adenine (A), Guanine (G), Thymine (T), and Cytosine (C) • sugar (deoxyribose) • phosphate group

  5. DNA Stability • Hydrogen bonding between base pairs • Stacking interaction between bases along axis of double-helix • Size and base content and sequence

  6. Principles of DNA biosensors • Nucleic acid hybridization ---rennealing b/w the ssDNAs from different sources • Perfect match ---stable dsDNA, strong hybridization • One or more base mismatches ----weak hybridization

  7. Forms of DNA Biosensors • Electrodes • Chips • Crystals

  8. Immobilization of DNA Probe onto Transducer Surface • Thiolated DNAfor self assembly onto gold transducers • Covalent linkage to thegold surface via functional alkanethiol-based monolayers • Use of biotylated DNA for complex formation with a surface-confinedavidin or strepavidin • Covalent (carbodiimide) coupling to functionalgroups on carbon electrodes • simple adsorption onto carbonsurfaces

  9. Types of DNA Based Biosensors • Optical, Electrochemical and Piezoelectric

  10. Molecular Beacon Based Optical Fiber DNA Biosensors ‘Ligate and light’. Schematics diagram of real-time monitoring of the nucleic acid ligation process by a MB.

  11. Immobilized DNA probe Target DNA Form duplex---mass increase Decrease in crystal’s resonance frequency Piezoelectric DNA Biosensors • quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) transducers

  12. Piezoelectric DNA Biosensors (cont’s) Frequency–time response of a PNA/QCM to additions of the target (T) and mismatch (M) oligonucleotides. The hybridization event results in decreased frequency, reflecting the increased mass of the crystal.

  13. Electrochemical DNA Biosensor • DNA-immobilized electrodes, based on detection of hybridization • redox intercalators to recognize dsDNA • DNA-mediated electron transfer using mediators • Use of ferrocene-labeled oligonucleotide probes that hybrize to immobilized DNA • Enzyme labels were used to amplify the signal and improve the sensitivity • Peroxidase • Glucose dehydrogenase (GDH)

  14. Electrochemical DNA Biosensor---An Example • Amperometric DNA sensor using the pyrroquinoline quinone glucose dehydrogenase-avidin conjugate Kazunori Ikebukuro, Yumiko Kohiki, Koji Sode * Biosensors and Bioelectronics 17 (2002) 1075--1080

  15. Material and Methods • pyrroquinoline quinone-dependent glucose dehydrogenase ((PQQ)GDH) for DNA hybridization labeling • Detection via biotin-avidin binding • Target and probe DNA sequence: • Target DNA: 5’-bio-TCGGCATCAATACTCATC-3’. • Probe DNA: 5’-bio-GATGAGTATTGATGCCGA-3’ • Control DNA: 5’-bio-CTGATGAACATACTATCT-3’

  16. Material and Methods (cont’s)

  17. Results

  18. Conclusions • The (PQQ)GDH/avidin conjugate based DNA biosensor is highly sensitive and selective to the target Salmonla invA virulence gene • The sensor response increased with the addition of glucose and in the presence of 6.3 mM glucose the response increased with increasing DNA in the range 5.0x10^8-1.0x10^5 • This DNA biosensor would be applicable for single nuleotide polymorphism detection

  19. Improvement • Fluorescent Bioconjugated Nanoparticles • DNA dendrimers

  20. Fluorescent Bioconjugated Nanoparticles---signal amplification

  21. Results

  22. DNA dendrimers---increase sensitivity Schematic drawing showing the hybridization detection at the dendrimer/QCM biosensor. The 38-mer probe is attached to the core dendrimer by complementary oligonucleotide (a(-)) binding on one (a(+)) of the outer arms. The probe sequence for target hybridization is 5¢-GGG GAT CGA AGA CGA TCA GAT ACC GTC GTA GTC TTA AC-3¢.
