| An innovative label-free DNA genosensing assay based on a direct hybridization followed by DPASV in the presence of
[Fe(CN)6]4−/3− was developed for recognizing the H. influenza genome in human plasma samples. To attain this objective,
Zn-based MOF was synthesized and combined with carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), which were immobilized on the surface of Au electrode and AuNPs were immobilized on the Zn-based MOF/CMC/Au-modified electrode surface. The genosensing bioassay provides high specificity, sensitivity, and good performance for the determination of L-fuculokinase gene from the
Haemophilus influenza genome. Various characterization techniques were applied including Fe-SEM, EDS, FT-IR, and XRD
for investigation of morphological features and particle size. Under optimal conditions LOD and LOQ were 1.48 fM and 3.23 fM,
respectively. Moreover, a wide linear range was obtained ranging from 0.1 pM–10 nM for t-DNA. The recoveries and RSDs were 98.4–103% and 2.2–3.2, respectively. The fabricated biosensing assay presented high selective ability of one, two, and three-base mismatched sequences. In addition, negative control of the genosensing assay for investigation of the selectivity was performed by the t-DNAs of Salmonella typhimurium and Shigella flexneri bacteria. Likewise, reproducibility and repeatability of the related bio-assay were investigated. It is to be noted that the organized genosensing bio-assay can be straightforwardly reused and regenerated to assess the hybridization process |
