A high-sensitive detection of sequence-specific DNA was established based on the formation of G-quadruplex-hemin complex through continuous hybridization chain reaction (HCR). Taking HIV DNA sequence as an example, a capture probe complementary to part of HIV DNA was firstly self-assembled onto the surface of Au electrode. Then a specially designed assistant probe with both terminals complementary to the target DNA and a G-quadruplex-forming sequence in the center was introduced into the detection solution. In the presence of both the target DNA and the assistant probe, the target DNA can be captured on the electrode surface and then a continuous HCR can be conducted due to the mutual recognition of the target DNA and the assistant probe, leading to the formation of a large number of G-quadruplex on the electrode surface. With the help of hemin, a pronounced electrochemical signal can be observed in differential pulse voltammetry (DPV), due to the formation of G-quadruplex-hemin complex. The peak current is linearly related with the logarithm of the concentration of the target DNA in the range from 10 fM to 10 pM. The electrochemical sensor has high selectivity to clearly discriminate single-base mismatched and three-base mismatched sequences from the original HIV DNA sequence. Moreover, the established DNA sensor was challenged by detection of HIV DNA in human serum samples, which showed the low detection limit of 6.3 fM. Thus it has great application prospect in the field of clinical diagnosis and environmental monitoring. (c) 2018 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
