Along with biocompatibility, chemical stability, and simplicity of structural prediction and modification, deoxyribozyme‐based molecular sensors have the potential of an improved detection limit due to their ability to catalytically amplify signal. This study contributes to the understanding of the factors responsible for the limit of detection (LOD) of RNA‐cleaving deoxyribozyme sensors. A new sensor that detects specific DNA/RNA sequences was designed from deoxyribozyme OA‐II [Chiuman, W.; Li, Y. (2006) J. Mol. Biol. 357, 748–754]. The sensor architecture allows for a unique combination of high selectivity, low LOD and the convenience of fluorescent signal monitoring in homogeneous solution. The LOD of the sensor was found to be ~1.6×10?10 M after 3 h of incubation. An equation that allows estimation of the lowest theoretical LOD using characteristics of parent deoxyribozymes and their fluorogenic substrates was derived and experimentally verified. According to the equation, “catalytically perfect” enzymes can serve as scaffolds for the design of sensors with the LOD not lower than ~2×10?15 M after 3 h of incubation. A new value termed the detection efficiency (DE) is suggested as a time‐independent characteristic of a sensor's sensitivity. The expressions for the theoretical LOD and DE can be used to evaluate nucleic acid and protein enzymes for their application as biosensing platforms. 相似文献

Allostery is a naturally occurring mechanism in which effector binding induces the modulation and fine control of a related biomolecule function. Deoxyribozyme (DNAzyme) with catalytic activity and substrate recognition ability is ideal to be regulated by allosteric strategies. However, the current regulations frequently confront various obstacles, such as severe activity decay, signal leakage, and limited effectors. In this work, a rational regulation strategy for developing versatile effectors-responsive allosteric nucleic acid enzyme (ANAzyme) by introducing an allosteric domain in response to diverse effectors is established. The enzyme-like activity of this re-engineered ANAzyme can be modulated in a more predictable and fine way compared with the previous DNAzyme regulation strategies. Based on the allosteric strategy, the construction of allosterically coregulatory nanodevices and a series of basic logic gates and logic circuits are achieved, demonstrating that the proposed ANAzyme-regulated strategy showed great potential in molecular computing. Given these facts, the rational design of ANAzyme with the allosteric domain presented here can expand the available toolbox to develop a variety of stimuli-responsive allosteric DNA materials, including molecular machines, computing systems, biosensing platforms, and gene-silencing tools. 相似文献

Supernova is a chemiluminescent deoxyribozyme recently discovered in our group. It transfers the phosphate group from the 1,2-dioxetane substrate CDP-Star to its 5′ hydroxyl group, which triggers a decomposition reaction and the production of light. Here we investigated the effects of reaction conditions on the ability of Supernova to generate a chemiluminescent signal (using a plate reader assay) and to phosphorylate itself (using a ligation assay). Our experiments indicate that multiple zinc ions are required for catalytic function, suggesting links between Supernova and protein enzymes that catalyze similar reactions. They also show how factors such as pH, potassium concentration, CDP-Star concentration, and DNA concentration affect the reaction. By combining information from different experiments, the rate enhancement of light production was increased by more than 1000-fold. These results should be useful for applications in which Supernova is used as a sensor. 相似文献
