Abstract:
Here, we report a novel, highly sensitive, selective and economical molecular beacon using graphene oxide as the'nanoquencher'. This novel molecular beacon system contains a hairpin-structured fluorophorelabeled oligonucleotide and a graphene oxide sheet. The strong interaction between hairpin-structured oligonucleotide and graphene oxide keep them in close proximity, facilitating the flu´ores-cence quenching of the fluorophore by graphene oxide. In the presence of a complementary target DNA, the binding between hairpin-structured oligonucleotide and target DNA will disturb the interaction between hairpin-struc-tured oligonucleotide and graphene oxide, and release the oligonucleotide from graphene oxide, resulting in restoration of fluorophore fluorescence. In the present study, we show that this novel graphene oxide quenched molecular beacon can be used to detect target DNA with higher sensitivity and single-base mismatch selectivity compared to the conventional molecular beacon. © 2010 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
