Femtomolar and locus-specific detection of N6-methyladenine in DNA by integrating double-hindered replication and nucleic acid-functionalized MB@Zr-MOF.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: In this study, a novel electrochemical biosensor was constructed for ultrasensitive and locus-specific detection of N6-Methyladenine (m6A) in DNA using double-hindered replication and nucleic acid-coated methylene blue (MB)@Zr-MOF. Based on the combination of m6A-impeded replication and AgI-mediated mismatch replication, this mode could effectively stop the extension of the strand once DNA polymerase encountered m6A site, which specifically distinguish the m6A site from natural A site in DNA. Also, Zr-MOF with high porosity and negative surface potential features was carefully chose to load cationic MB, resulting a stable and robust MB@Zr-MOF electrochemical tag. As a result, the developed biosensor exhibited a wide linear r
