A Cascade Signal Amplification Strategy for the Ultrasensitive Fluorescence Detection of Cu2+ via λ-Exonuclease-Assisted Target Recycling with Mismatched Catalytic Hairpin Assembly.


ABSTRACT: Herein, an ultrasensitive DNAzyme-based fluorescence biosensor for detecting Cu2+ was designed using the cascade signal amplification strategy, coupling λ-exonuclease-assisted target recycling and mismatched catalytic hairpin assembly (MCHA). In the designed detection system, the target, Cu2+, can activate the Cu2+-dependent DNAzyme to cause a cleavage reaction, releasing ssDNA (tDNA). Then, tDNA binds to hairpin DNA (H0) with an overhanging 5'-phosphorylated terminus to form dsDNA with a blunt 5'-phosphorylated terminus, which activates the dsDNA to be digested by λ-Exo and releases tDNA along with another ssDNA (iDNA). Subsequently, the iDNA initiates MCHA, which can restore the fluorescence of carboxyfluorescein (FAM) p
