title: Fabrication of chronocoulometric DNA sensor based on gold nanoparticles/poly(l-lysine) modified glassy carbon electrode.
abstract: In this work, we fabricated a sensitivity chronocoulometric DNA sensor (CDS) based on gold nanoparticles (AuNPs)/poly(L-lysine) complex film modified glassy carbon electrode. Hexaammineruthenium(III) chloride ([Ru(NH3)6]3+) was used as the electroactive indicator. The assembled process was investigated by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and chronocoulometry (CC). CC is used to monitor the DNA hybridization event by measurement of electrostatic binding [Ru(NH3)6]3+. Under the optimal conditions, the signal of [Ru(NH3)6]3+ was linear with the logarithm of the concentration of the complementary oligonucleotides from 1.0 x 10(-13) to 1.0 x 10(-11) M, and the detection limit is 3.5 x 10(-14) M.
