The invention discloses a method for detecting
thrombin by using nanogold. According to the method, two
oligonucleotide sequences are designed and are respectively marked as TB-Apt1 and TB-cApt1, the TB-Apt1 is a
thrombin nucleic acid aptamer, and the TB-cApt1 is a complementary chain of the
thrombin nucleic acid aptamer. The oligonucleotides are anchored on the surface of the nanogold through a plurality of adenine fragments respectively. And the TB-Apt1 and the TB-cApt1 are hybridized with each other, so that the nanogold is agglomerated. After the thrombin is added, the TB-Apt1 is combined with the thrombin, a
hybrid chain formed by the TB-Apt1 and the TB-cApt1 is separated, and the nanogold is changed into a dispersed state from an agglomerated state. The degree of the dispersion state of the nanogold in the solution is in
positive correlation with the thrombin concentration. And the thrombin concentration can be calculated by observing the absorption
light spectrum intensity of the nanogold solution. According to the method, the surface of the nanogold is modified with
oligonucleotide by using an adenine fragment, so that the cost of
nucleic acid functionalized nanogold is reduced, low-concentration detection of thrombin is realized in the process of inducing the nanogold from agglomeration to
depolymerization by using thrombin, and the sensitivity of the detection method is improved.
