This invention discloses a G4-
DNA tetrahedral probe
electrode, its preparation method, applications, and application methods. This invention utilizes four
DNA strands to self-assemble into
a DNA tetrahedral
structure based on Watson-Crick hybridization. The
DNA tetrahedron and G4 strand can be connected to the
electrode based on the interaction between
thiol groups and the gold
electrode, and complementary base
pairing. The addition of the DNA
tetrahedron, through the construction of a reasonable probe density, further improves the detection sensitivity. This invention utilizes
square wave voltammetry for
electrochemical detection of
malachite green. The content of
malachite green can be determined based on the strength of the current
signal of its characteristic peak.
Rapid detection of
malachite green can be achieved in a short time, with a minimum detection concentration of 3.65 μg / kg, showing potential for on-site detection. Six repeated tests using this electrode yielded almost identical detection signals, indicating that the electrode has good
reusability and stability.
