This work suggested that Cu ion coordinated by the peptide with a histidine (His or H) residue in the first position from the free N-terminal reveals oxidase-mimicking activity. A biotinylated polymer was prepared by modifying His residues on the side chain amino groups of lysine residues (denoted as K) to chelate multiple Cu ions. The resulting biotin-poly-(K-Cu) polymer with multiple catalytic sites was employed as the signal label for immunoassay. Prostate specific antigen (PSA) was determined as the model target. The captured biotin-poly-(K-Cu) polymer could catalyze the oxidation of -phenylenediamine (OPD) to produce fluorescent 2,3-diaminophenazine (OPDox). The signal was proportional to PSA concentration from 0.01 to 2 ng/mL, and the detection limit was found to be eight pg/mL. The high sensitivity of the method enabled the assays of PSA in real serum samples. The work should be valuable for the design of novel biosensors for clinical diagnosis.
这项工作表明,在自由 N 端第一个位置由组氨酸(His 或 H)残基配位的 Cu 离子显示出氧化酶模拟活性。通过修饰赖氨酸(K)侧链氨基上的组氨酸残基来螯合多个 Cu 离子,制备了一种生物素化聚合物(表示为 K-Cu)。具有多个催化位点的生物素-聚(K-Cu)聚合物被用作免疫测定的信号标记物。前列腺特异性抗原(PSA)被确定为模型靶标。捕获的生物素-聚(K-Cu)聚合物可以催化 -苯二胺(OPD)的氧化生成荧光 2,3-二氨基吩嗪(OPDox)。信号与 0.01 至 2ng/mL 范围内的 PSA 浓度成正比,检测限发现为 8pg/mL。该方法的高灵敏度使得能够在实际血清样品中测定 PSA。这项工作对于设计用于临床诊断的新型生物传感器应该是有价值的。
