The invention discloses a fluorescent
aptamer sensor for detecting DON in food based on HCR and DNAzyme triggering and a detection method, and relates to the technical field of food detection. The
biosensor provided by the scheme is composed of a recognition unit, a
signal conversion and primary amplification unit, a secondary amplification unit and a report unit, cDNA released by combination of DON and Apt firstly triggers primary HCR reaction for amplification, after DNAzyme is generated, an
enzyme digestion product contains the whole cDNA sequence, secondary HCR can be re-triggered,
cascade amplification is realized, the
detection limit is remarkably reduced, and the detection efficiency is improved. The detection sensitivity is improved; besides, HCR reaction and
enzyme digestion substrates are
DNA hairpins with rigid two-dimensional structures, when no target exists, the
aptamer closes cDNA, the H3 hairpin is kept in a
closed state, FAM and BHQ-1 are close to each other to generate
fluorescence quenching, background signals are extremely low, and high
binding efficiency and anti-interference capability are achieved.
