- Abstract
- The authors describe an isothermal and ultrasensitive colorimetric DNA assay that consists of two amplification stages using enzymes and acatalytic hairpin assembly (CHA). The first stepconsists in the selective amplification of DNA using Klenow fragment and nicking enzyme. The second stepconsists in the amplification of the optical signal by using a catalytic hairpin assembly. After two amplification steps, the DNA reaction induces the aggregation of the red gold nanoparticles to give a blue color shift. The degree of aggregation can be quantified by measurement of the ratio of the UV-vis absorbances of the solutions at 620 and 524nm which are the wavelengths of the aggregated gold nanoparticles and bare gold nanoparticles. The detection limit is as low as 3.1 fM. Due to the use of a specific enzyme, only the desired DNAs will be detected. The method can be applied to the determination of DNA of various lengths. Despite the presence of large amounts of wildtype DNA, it can readily detect a target DNA. Conceivably, the technique has a large potential because of its high sensitivity and selectivity.
