ABSTRACT
The detection of nucleic acids and their mutation derivatives is vital for biomedical science and applications. Although many nucleic acid biosensors have been developed, they often require pretreatment processes, such as target amplification and tagging probes to nucleic acids. Moreover, current biosensors typically cannot detect sequence-specific mutations in the targeted nucleic acids. To address the above problems, herein, we developed an electrochemical nanobiosensing system using a phenomenon comprising metal ion intercalation into the targeted mismatched double-stranded nucleic acids and a homogeneous Au nanoporous electrode array (Au NPEA) to obtain (i) sensitive detection of viral RNA without conventional tagging and amplifying processes, (ii) determination of viral mutation occurrence in a simple detection manner, and (iii) multiplexed detection of several RNA targets simultaneously. As a proof-of-concept demonstration, a SARS-CoV-2 viral RNA and its mutation derivative were used in this study. Our developed nanobiosensor exhibited highly sensitive detection of SARS-CoV-2 RNA (â¼1 fM detection limit) without tagging and amplifying steps. In addition, a single point mutation of SARS-CoV-2 RNA was detected in a one-step analysis. Furthermore, multiplexed detection of several SARS-CoV-2 RNAs was successfully demonstrated using a single chip with four combinatorial NPEAs generated by a 3D printing technique. Collectively, our developed nanobiosensor provides a promising platform technology capable of detecting various nucleic acids and their mutation derivatives in highly sensitive, simple, and time-effective manners for point-of-care biosensing.
