RESUMO
Silicon dioxide nanoparticles were synthesized and disposable screen-printed electrodes were modified with these nanoparticles to electrochemically detect the interaction between DNA and patulin, a mycotoxin. Firstly, the synthesized silicon dioxide nanoparticles were chemically characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR). Microscopic characterization of the nanoparticles was performed by Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). The surface of the silicon dioxide nanoparticle-modified screen-printed electrode was characterized by Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). SiNP modification resulted in a 2-fold increase in surface area and a 2.3-fold enhancement in the signal. The detection limit (LOD) for the electrochemical patulin determination was calculated as 1.15 µg/mL, and the linear concentration range was found to be 3.2-20 µg/mL. The mode of interaction between patulin and dsDNA was determined through a molecular docking study. After the interaction between patulin and dsDNA, approximately 86 % and 23 % decreases were observed in patulin and guanine oxidation signals, respectively. The S % value for patulin was calculated by utilizing the decrease in the guanine signal after the interaction.
RESUMO
Studies based on drug-DNA interactions, especially anticancer drug-DNA interactions, are of great importance for the method development. It is thought that single-use electrodes, which give fast, cheap and reproducible results, will make a great contribution to the chip technology for the development of individual patient analysis in the future. It is known that antioxidants reduce carcinogenesis caused by oxidative stress with their radical scavenging effects. Literature shows that quercetin (QRCT) exhibits anticancer activity by preventing oxidative cell damage as an effective radical scavenger. In this study, Bendamustine (BND), an anticancer drug, which is used in different blood cancer types, was electrochemically determined and the toxicity degree was calculated by examining the interaction of the drug with DNA in the absence and presence of QRCT, which is the first examination in the literature. Limit of detection and quantification for BND was calculated as 6.0 and 20.0 µg/mL respectively by using the equation I = 0.029 × CBND+ 1.197, (R2 = 0.997). We found that QRCT prevents the interaction between BND and DNA because of its strong interaction with DNA.

The aim of this work is to find out the effect of antioxidant onto the interaction of DNA-anticancer drug, daunorubicin. Daunorubicin (DNR) is an anti-cancer drug which is used for the treatment of certain cancers including the treatment of leukemia. The treatments of patients, who suffer from cancer, become generally complicated if they take some antioxidant-containing supplement during chemotherapy. In this study, the interaction performance between DNR and DNA was investigated both in the presence and absence of antioxidant, caffeic acid, as the first time in the literature. Interaction performances were evaluated by observing both guanine (1.0V) and DNR (0.5V) oxidation signal in the same potential window.

Chitosan-(CHIT) and ionic liquid- (1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate (IL)) modified single-use graphite electrodes (PGEs) were developed for the first time in the present study for the enhanced monitoring of DNA, and also for sequence-selective DNA hybridization by measuring the guanine oxidation signal. The electrochemical behaviour of the CHIT-IL modified electrodes was first investigated (with unmodified electrodes as controls) using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). Sequence-selective DNA hybridization related to Hepatitis B virus (HBV) was also evaluated in the case of hybridization between amino-linked HBV probe and its complementary (target), a noncomplementary (NC) sequence, single base mismatch (MM), and also in the medium of target/mismatch (MM) mixtures (1:1). CHIT-IL modified PGEs presented a very effective discrimination of DNA hybridization owing to their superior selectivity and sensitivity.

An impedimetric detection of lysozyme (LYS) was performed for the first time in this study at the surface of chitosan-graphene oxide (CHIT-GO) modified sensor based on the specific interaction process between DNA aptamer and its cognate protein, LYS. The amino linked DNA aptamer (APT) was covalently immobilized without using any chemical agents onto the surface of pencil graphite electrode (PGE). These PGEs are inexpensive and simple to use, and thus, they can be furtherly developed for a single-use application in a portable protein chip device. The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) technique was used herein to analyze (i) the surface characterization of unmodified PGE and CHIT-GO modified PGE, and also (ii) the interaction between APT and LYS. The limit of detection (DL) was found as 0.38 µg/mL (equals to 28.53 nM). This impedimetric LYS aptasensor exhibited a higher selectivity toward thrombin and bovine serum albumin, even in the mixture samples.

In this study, electrochemical polymerized 5-amino-2-mercapto-1,3,4-thiadiazole (poly-AMT)-modified single-use graphite electrodes were fabricated for electrochemical monitoring of bisflavonoid, quercetin. The surfaces of p-AMT modified pencil graphite electrodes (PGEs) were firstly characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) analysis. The conditions for electrochemical polymerization by using cyclic voltammetry (CV), such as scan rate and different potential cycles were optimized. Electrochemical behaviors of these electrodes were also investigated using differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) and EIS. A six-fold increase at quercetin signal was obtained by using p-AMT modified PGEs compared to unmodified electrodes.

We present a graphene oxide (GO) integrated disposable electrochemical sensor for the enhanced detection of nucleic acids and the sensitive monitoring of the surface-confined interactions between the anticancer drug mitomycin C (MC) and DNA. Interfacial interactions between immobilized calf thymus double-stranded (dsDNA) and anticancer drug MC were investigated using differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) techniques. Based on three repetitive voltammetric measurements of 120 µg mL(-1) DNA immobilized on GO-modified electrodes, the RSD % (n = 3) was calculated as 10.47% and the detection limit (DL) for dsDNA was found to be 9.06 µg mL(-1). EIS studies revealed that the binding of the drug MC to dsDNA leads to a gradual decrease of its negative charge. As a consequence of this interaction, the negative redox species were allowed to approach the electrode, and thus increase the charge transfer kinetics. On the other hand, DPV studies exploited the decrease of the guanine signal due to drug binding as the basis for specifically probing the biointeraction process between MC and dsDNA.

Single walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT)-chitosan (CHIT) modified pencil graphite electrodes (PGEs) were developed for monitoring of DNA hybridization. SWCNT-chitosan modified PGE (CNT-CHIT-PGE), Chitosan modified PGE (CHIT-PGE) and unmodified PGE (bare-PGE) were firstly characterized by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and their electrochemical behaviors were investigated using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The concentrations of CHIT, carbon nanotube (CNT) and also amino linked DNA probe etc. were respectively optimized in order to obtain the better working conditions of CNT-CHIT modified PGE in DNA analysis. The sequence selective DNA hybridization related to Hepatitis B virus (HBV) was then explored in the case of hybridization between amino linked HBV probe and its complementary (target), or noncomplementary (NC), or mismatch (MM) sequences, and also hybridization in mixture sample.

In this study, single-use graphite electrodes modified with 5-amino-2-mercapto-1,3,4-thidiazole (AMT) were fabricated for electrochemical monitoring of DNA. The surfaces of AMT modified pencil graphite electrodes (PGEs) were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Electrochemical behaviors of these electrodes were investigated using differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The effects of pretreatment of PGE and immobilization time and concentration of AMT were studied to facilitate an effective immobilization on PGE surface. The efficiency of immobilization is verified by measuring the oxidation signals of either AMT itself or adenine base of DNA, immobilized onto AMT modified electrodes.

Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT)-poly(vinylferrocenium) (PVF(+)) modified pencil graphite electrodes (PGEs) were developed in our study for the electrochemical monitoring of a sequence-selective DNA hybridization event. Firstly, SWCNT-PVF(+) modified PGE, PVF(+) modified PGE and unmodified PGE were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The electrochemical behavior of these electrodes was then investigated using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). The SWCNT-PVF(+) modified PGEs were optimized for improved DNA sensing ability by measuring the guanine oxidation signal. In order to obtain the full coverage immobilization of the DNA probe following the optimum working conditions, the effect of amino-linked, thiol-linked and, bare oligonucleotides (ODNs), and the concentration of the DNA probe on the response of the modified electrode were examined. After optimization studies, the sequence-selective DNA hybridization was evaluated in the case of hybridization between an amino-linked probe and its complementary (target), a noncomplementary (NC) sequence, calf thymus double stranded DNA (dsDNA), and target/mismatch (MM) mixtures in the ratio of 1:1. SWCNT-PVF(+) modified PGEs presented very effective discrimination of DNA hybridization owing to their superior selectivity and sensitivity.

The effect of the SnO(2) nanoparticles (SNPs) on the behaviour of voltammetric carbon paste electrodes were studied for possible use of this material in biosensor development. The electrochemical behaviour of SNP modified carbon paste electrodes (CPE) was first investigated by using cyclic voltammetry (CV), differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) techniques. The performance of the SNP modified electrodes were compared to those of unmodified ones and the parameters affecting the response of the modified electrode were optimized. The SNP modified electrodes were then tested for the electrochemical sensing of DNA purine base adenine to explore their further development in biosensor applications.
