Functional DNA sensors integrated with nucleic acid signal amplification strategies for non-nucleic acid targets detection

Yuanyuan Zhu et al.

Summary: Functional DNA (fDNA) refers to DNA molecules that have specific binding ability or catalytic function, with advantages of simple synthesis, low cost, low toxicity, high chemical stability, recognition specificity, and biocompatibility. However, the limited sensitivity of fDNA sensors to trace targets is a major challenge, especially when there is low affinity between fDNA and the targets. Various nucleic acid signal amplification strategies (NASAS) have been explored to improve the limit of detection of fDNA. This review summarizes four NASAS (hybridization chain reaction, entropy-driven catalysis, rolling circle amplification, CRISPR/Cas system) and their corresponding design principles, as well as the principle and application of fDNA sensors integrated with signal amplification strategies for the detection of non-nucleic acid targets. The main challenges and application prospects of NASAS-integrated fDNA biosensing system are also discussed.
