Highly sensitive detection of GG mismatched DNA by surfaces immobilized naphthyridine dimer through poly(ethylene oxide) linkers.
Naphthyridine dimer is a unique molecule that strongly, and selectively, binds to the guanine-guanine mismatch in duplex DNA. We have synthesized naphthyridine dimers possessing a different length of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) linker, and immobilized them to CM5 sensor chip to carry out a surface plasmon resonance (SPR) assay of DNA duplexes containing a single base mismatch. The sensitivity of the sensor remarkably increased with increasing numbers of PEO units incorporated into the linker. With the sensor surface immobilized naphthyridine dimer for 1.5 x 10(3) response unit (RU) through three PEO units, the distinct SPR signal was observed at a concentration of 1 nM of the 27-mer G-G mismatch.
