In this paper, we present an impedance-based DNA biosensor using thionine intercalation to amplify DNA hybridization signal. Beacon single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) probe and mercaptoacetic acid were self-assembled onto a An electrode by forming Au-S bonds. These beacon ssDNAs were hybridized with the complementary sequences around the loop structure. Then thionine was intercalated into the double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) immobilized oil the Au electrode surface. Due to the neutralization of the negative charges of dsDNA by the intercalated thionine, the electronic transfer resistance (R,,) of the DNA modified Au electrode was significantly diminished. Herein, the decreased value of R., resulted from the thionine intercalating into dsDNA was employed as the hybridization signal. SDS was used to reduce the unspecific adsorption between ssDNA and thionine. Several experimental conditions, including the surface coverage of ssDNA probe on Au electrode, the hybridization temperature and time were all optimized. Moreover, the hybridization reactions of the unstructured linear ssDNA probe and the structured beacon ssDNA probe with their complementary sequences were compared in this work. The sensitivity of the presented DNA biosensor highlighted that the intercalation of thionine into dsDNA was an efficient approach to amplify the hybridization signal using impedance detection technique. Additionally, in this DNA biosensing protocol, beacon ssDNA has a good ability to distinguish target DNA sequences. This results in a higher specificity than using traditional unstructured DNA probe.
