Hybridbio/-synthetic sensory conjugated polymer nanoparticles (CPNs) are developed for selective label-free detection of target ssDNA in serum. Carboxylic acid-functionalized anionic polyfluorene nanoparticles are rationally designed as signal amplifying unit to bioconjugate with amine functionalized single stranded oligonucleotides as a receptor. The covalent DNA coating can significantly improve the photostability of the DNA-bioconjugated CPNs over a wide range of buffer conditions. Better ssDNA discrimination for the DNA-bioconjugated CPNs sensor is achieved owing to increased interchain interactions and more efficient exciton transport in nanoparticles. The distinguishable fluorescent color for DNA-bioconjugated CPNs in the presence of target ssDNA allows naked-eye detection of ssDNA under UV irradiation.
杂化生物/合成的传感共轭聚合物纳米颗粒(CPNs)被开发用于血清中目标单链DNA(ssDNA)的选择性无标记检测。羧酸功能化的阴离子聚芴纳米颗粒被合理设计为信号放大单元,以与胺功能化的单链寡核苷酸作为受体进行生物共轭。在广泛的缓冲条件下,共价DNA涂层可以显著提高DNA共轭CPNs的光稳定性。由于纳米颗粒中链间相互作用增加和激子传输更有效,DNA共轭CPNs传感器对ssDNA有更好的区分能力。在目标ssDNA存在下,DNA共轭CPNs可区分的荧光颜色使得在紫外线照射下能够肉眼检测ssDNA。
