DNA detection using enzymatic signal production and SERS.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A novel DNA assay is demonstrated which relies on the production of a surface enhanced resonance Raman scattering (SERS) signal following sequence specific hybridisation and enzyme hydrolysis. This method achieves high sensitivity and specificity that can be applied to the detection of unlabelled duplex DNA and is the first step towards a SERS based signal amplification approach.

Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy for facile DNA detection using gold nanoparticle aggregates formed via photoligation.
We present a new type of nanoparticle-based DNA sensor using surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) on gold nanoparticle (Au NP) aggregates formed by DNA photoligation. The DNA sensor exploits the photoligation reaction between oligodeoxynucleotides (ODNs) attached to the surfaces of Au NPs in the presence of target DNA (T-DNA). When hybridization takes place between the ODNs and T-DNA, Au NP...
متن کاملBiosensing Based on Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy by Using Metal Nanoparticles
Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is a promising tool in the analytical science because it provides good selectivity and sensitivity without the labeling process required by fluorescence detection. This technique consists of locating the target analyte on nanometer range of roughed Au-nanoparticles. The presence of the metal nanoparticles provides a tremendous enhancement to the result...
متن کاملAssessing Telomere Length Using Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering
Telomere length can provide valuable insight into telomeres and telomerase related diseases, including cancer. Here, we present a brand-new optical telomere length measurement protocol using surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). In this protocol, two single strand DNA are used as SERS probes. They are labeled with two different Raman molecules and can specifically hybridize with telomeres a...
