Abstract
A composite film of DNA/poly(3-methylthiophene) (P3MT) modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE) has been fabricated by electro-deposition method. P3MT film was first electropolymerized at the GCE and the DNA layer was then immobilized on the P3MT layer by electrochemical method. The voltammetric behavior of 8-hydroxy-2′-deoxyguanosine (8-OH-dG) at the composite film modified electrode was studied. The effects of scan rates, pH and the interference of uric acid (UA) on the voltammetric behavior and detection of 8-OH-dG were also discussed. The experimental results suggest that the electrochemical behavior of 8-OH-dG at the composite film modified electrode was greatly improved due to the combination of the advantages of P3MT and DNA. In 0.1 M pH 7.0 phosphate buffer solution (PBS), the anodic peak currents of 8-OH-dG were linear with the 8-OH-dG concentration in two intervals, viz. 0.28–4.2 µM and 4.2–19.6 µM. The detection limit of 56 nM 8-OH-dG could be estimated (S/N = 3). This proposed composite film modified electrode shows excellent reproducibility and stability. It may have the potential application for the detection of 8-OH-dG in human urine.
