Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Base stacking is employed in an entirely new type of sensing platform for the simple and robust detection of protein. Only in the presence of protein, the aptamer DNA can hybridize stably with the capture DNA to form a stem-loop structure due to the enhancement of base stacking. This leads to a strong chemiluminescence emission for simple protein detection. Using platelet-derived growth factor as a model, a fM detection limit was obtained with a dynamic range that spanned four orders of magnitude. Upon modification, the approach presented herein was also sucessfully extended to detect other types of targets including Hg<sup>2+</sup> ion and adenosine and also other types of labels such as fluorescence nanogold. We believe such advancements will represent a significant step toward improved diagnostics and more personalized medical treatment and environmental monitoring.
