The invention discloses an i-motif
DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) modified gold nano
flare, a preparation method of the i-motif
DNA modified gold nano
flare and application of the i-motif
DNA modified gold nano
flare to detection of miRNA, and belongs to the technical field of nano
biological materials and molecular diagnosis. The
fluorescence probe is formed by assembling gold nanoparticles and an i-motif
molecular fluorescence probe, the i-motif molecular fluorescent probe contains four sections of sequences rich in C basic groups and a target miRNA recognition chain, sulfydryl is marked at the 5'end, and fluorescent molecules are marked at the 3 'end. The probe is prepared by adopting a
freeze thawing method, the labeling density of the probe is high, in a constructed detection
system, the miR-21
detection limit is as low as 1.01 fM, and single-base mutants can be accurately distinguished; the technology does not need complex sample pretreatment and can be directly used for detecting
cell total RNA or miRNA in a
plasma sample, and the detection result is highly consistent with RT-qPCR; the problems of low marking efficiency and insufficient sensitivity in the prior art are effectively solved, and an innovative tool with high sensitivity, high specificity and clinical suitability is provided for tumor-associated miRNA molecular diagnosis.
