A versatile fluorescence scaffold was constructed by connecting a G-triplex sequence with G-rich DNA and using Thioflavin T as the fluorescent molecule. The conformation of the G-quadruplex DNA was changed by the specific interaction of the aptamer and kanamycin, leading to a 'turn-on' to 'turn-off' detection principle for kanamycin detection. The detection method showed reasonable sensitivity and selectivity, successfully applied for kanamycin determination in pork, chicken, and beef samples.
A versatile fluorescence scaffold was constructed by connecting a G-triplex sequence (G31) with G-rich DNA (aptamer of kanamycin) and using thioflavin T (ThT) as the fluorescent molecule. With the assistance of an aptamer, the G-quadruplex DNA structure was fabricated using G31 as three strands and the aptamer as the fourth strand. Due to the parallel planar morphology of the final products, which was favorable for ThT binding and which restricted the rotation of the aromatic rings of ThT, the fluorescence signal intensity of ThT was significantly enhanced. Because of the specific interaction of aptamer and kanamycin, in addition to the greater ability for kanamycin to bind with G-triplex than ThT, the conformation of G-quadruplex DNA was changed; in addition, ThT was dissociated from the aptamer-G31, and therefore a 'turn-on' to 'turn-off' detection principle was applied for kanamycin detection, which yielded reasonable sensitivity and selectivity. The detection range was 50-2000 nM, with a limit of detection of 1.05 nM. Our proposed method was thus successfully applied for kanamycin determination in pork, chicken, and beef samples, and satisfactory results were obtained.
