The invention discloses an innovative
histone acetylation transferase ultraviolet colorimetric sensor which is based on a
silver ion (Ag < + >) and 3, 3 ', 5, 5'-
tetramethyl benzidine (TMB)
system. Under the action of Ag < + >, TMB is oxidized into a blue oxidized form (oxTMB), and shows a strong
ultraviolet absorption peak at the
wavelength of 652nm, so that the visual quantitative detection of Ag < + > is realized. When
coenzyme A (CoA) is added to form a CoA-Ag < + >
coordination polymer, or through the catalytic action of
histone acetylated
transferase (HAT p300), the concentration of free Ag < + > is reduced, the oxidation effect on TMB is correspondingly inhibited, the color of a solution is changed from blue to colorless, and then reduction of
absorbance is observed at 652 nm. The process further analyzes and detects HAT p300 in
breast cancer cells, compared with normal cells and high expression of HAT p300 in
cancer cells, a simple, convenient, rapid, high-sensitivity and high-selectivity unmarked visual analysis strategy is provided, and the method is used for researching the
histone acetylation process and has important scientific research and application value.
