Herein, a simple and selective electrochemical method was developed for sulfadimethoxine detection based on the triggered cleavage activity of nuclease P1 by the formation of aptamer and sulfadimethoxine conjugate. After probe DNA was immobilized on gold electrode surface, aptamer DNA labeled with biotin at its 5'-terminal was then captured on electrode surface through the hybridization reaction between probe DNA and aptamer DNA. The formed double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) can block the digestion activity of Nuclease P1 towards the single stranded probe DNA. Then, the anti-dsDNA antibody was further modified on electrode surface based on the specific interaction between dsDNA and antibody. Due to the electrostatic repulsion effect and steric-hindrance effect, a weak electrochemical signal was obtained at this electrode. However, in the presence of sulfadimethoxine, it can interact with aptamer DNA, and then the formation of dsDNA can be blocked. As a result, the probe DNA at its single-strand state can be digested by Nuclease P1, which leads to the failure of the immobilization of anti-dsDNA antibody. At this state, a strong electrochemical signal was obtained. Based on the change of the electrochemical signal, sulfadimethoxine can be detected with linear range of 0.1-500 nmol/L. The detection limit was 0.038 nmol/L. The developed method possesses high detection selectivity and sensitivity. The applicability of this method was also proved by detecting sulfadimethoxine in veterinary drug and milk with satisfactory results.
