The invention discloses a method for detecting micro
RNA (Ribonucleic Acid) by using chemically modified multi-component
deoxyribozyme and application of the method, and belongs to the field of molecular diagnosis and biosensing. Heterogeneous
nucleic acid modification is introduced into a catalytic core region of a
deoxyribozyme molecule, and
locked nucleic acid modification is introduced into a
target binding arm region; heterogeneous
nucleic acid modification is used for enhancing the conformational stability and
catalytic rate of the catalytic core, and
locked nucleic acid modification is used for improving the recognition affinity and specificity of the
target binding arm and the target miRNA. The method has the advantages that the detection reaction is realized under the
enzyme-free, isothermal and one-pot conditions, and the detection efficiency and sensitivity are remarkably improved. The
catalytic rate is increased by 6.5 times after XNA modification is introduced, the overall
catalytic efficiency is increased to 760 times after LNA modification is introduced, and the detection sensitivity is increased to 2 pM. The method is flexible in structural design, simple and convenient to operate, high in specificity and suitable for application scenes such as
field detection and
liquid biopsy, and has a good industrialization prospect.
