Thrombin binding stabilizes the alternative G-quadruplex conformation of the aptamer, liberating the methylene blue (MB)-tagged oligonucleotide to produce a flexible, single-stranded DNA element. This allows the MB tag to collide with the gold electrode surface, producing a readily detectable Faradaic current at thrombin concentrations as low as approximately 3 nM.
凝血酶结合使适配体的交替G-四链体构象稳定,释放出甲基蓝(MB)标记的寡核苷酸,产生一个灵活的单链DNA元件。这使得MB标签能够与金电极表面碰撞,在低至约3 nM的凝血酶浓度下产生易于检测的法拉第电流。
