Abstract

A label-free high-performance electrochemical sensing of single nucleotide polymorphism in native genomic DNA samples from cancer tissues, in oncogene-specific complementary DNA and in amplicons has been carried out on bundles of few-walled carboxylated carbon nanotubes, surface of which was coated with electron-dense layer of probe DNA. High selectivity and sensitivity of the novel DNA-nanosensor are ensured by the following features. Firstly, a complementary-hybridization signal is enhanced by resonance between plasmons in carbon nanotubes and dipole oscillations of hydrated nucleic acids located in near-electrode Helmholtz double layer of the impedance sensor. Secondly, a decoration of carbon nanotubes by adhered metal atoms in a high-spin state leads to Fermi level stabilization for the carbon nanotube bundles.
