Problems solved by technology

Although agarose gel electrophoresis technology can be used to study the conformational changes of linear DNA, there are many defects in this method: 1. The sample size required by agarose gel electrophoresis technology is relatively large, and the samples cannot be reused, which is time-consuming and laborious. Suitable for kinetic studies; 2. Gold nanoparticles modified with short-chain DNA (less than 40 nucleotides) are common in practical applications, but agarose gel electrophoresis cannot obtain the resolution of a single short-chain DNA; 3. Gel method The experimental error of the calculated DNA/AuNP particle size is relatively large, which is affec

[0039] Linear DNAs with 5' end sulfhydryl modification, different lengths: polyAl5, polyA30, polyA44, polyA51, and aptamer DNAs with different lengths: TBA30, TBA44 (adapter to bovine thrombin protein, Thrombin binding aptamer) , CBA45, CBA51 (cocaine aptamer Cocaine binding aptamer) 40μM, respectively with 40mM dithiothreitol (DTT) in 2% (V / V) triethylamine (TEA) solution for 30 minutes after reduction using NAP -5 column for two purifications. The ratio of the purified DNA to the input material of nano gold is 500:1. At the same time, the amount ratio of linear DNA single-stranded polyA15, polyA30, polyA44, polyA51 without sulfhydryl modification to gold nanometer (AuNP) was 500:1. The 12 strands were coated with phosphate buffer (10mM PB, pH 7.4) at ...

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for measuring confirmations of a sulphydryl-modified linear DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) or nucleic acid aptamer on a nano-gold surface. The method comprises the following steps of measuring the hydrate particle size of a linear DNA or nucleic acid aptamer and a nano-gold composite in the assembling process in a dynamic light scattering way, and measuring the confirmations of the linear DNA or nucleic acid aptamer on the nano-gold surface under different surface coating amounts by combining adsorption kinetics respectively. According to the method, under the condition of medium surface probe capacity, one end, connected with a sulphydryl, of the confirmation of the linear DNA on the nano-gold surface winds the nano-gold surface, and the other end of the confirmation of the linear DNA outwards extends perpendicularly to the surface; along with the increase of the surface probe capacity, the length of each DNA probe winding the nano-gold surface is continuously decreased, the outwards-extending tail of each DNA probe becomes longer and longer, and however, the nano-gold surface is kept in a DNA basic group adsorbed-wrapped low-surface free energy state; the confirmations can be described as DILOT (dynamic inner-layer and outer-tail) models significant on guiding the applications of nucleic acid sensor probe designs, DNA-hybridization-based nano-assembling and the like.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for measuring the conformation of sulfhydryl-modified linear DNA or nucleic acid aptamer on the surface of nano-gold, belonging to the field of biotechnology. Background technique [0002] Gold nanocomposites (DNA / AuNP) modified by sulfhydryl linear DNA or nucleic acid aptamers have very important applications in the fields of self-assembly material preparation, biosensing technology, and drug delivery. However, recent studies have shown that DNA bases will interact non-specifically with the surface of gold nanoparticles, and some of them will be adsorbed on the surface of gold nanoparticles, which will reduce the efficiency of linear DNA hybridization and reduce the recognition ability of nucleic acid aptamers and their targets. Therefore, an in-depth understanding of the conformation of linear DNA or aptamer probes on the surface of gold nanoparticles is of great value for optimizing probe design. At this stage, the...
