Abstract
The unique characteristics of biological structures depend on the behavior of DNA sequences confined in a microscale cell under environmental fluctuations and dissipation. Here, we report a prominent difference in fluorescence from dye-modified single-stranded DNA in a light-induced assembly of DNA-functionalized heterogeneous probe particles in a microwell of several microliters in volume. Strong optical forces from the Mie scattering of microparticles accelerated hybridization, and the photothermal effect from the localized surface plasmons in gold nanoparticles enhanced specificity to reduce the fluorescence intensity of dye-modified DNA to a few %, even in a one-base mismatched sequence, enabling us to clearly highlight the single nucleotide polymorphisms in DNA. Fluorescence intensity was positively correlated with complementary DNA concentrations ranging in several tens fg/μL after only 5 min of laser irradiation. Remarkably, a total amount of DNA in an optically assembled structure of heterogeneous probe particles was estimated between 2.36 ymol (2.36 × 10–24 mol) and 2.36 amol (2.36 × 10–18 mol) in the observed concentration range. These findings can promote an innovative production method of nanocomposite structures via biological molecules and biological sensing with simple strategies avoiding genetic amplification in a PCR-free manner.
期刊介绍:
ACS Sensors is a peer-reviewed research journal that focuses on the dissemination of new and original knowledge in the field of sensor science, particularly those that selectively sense chemical or biological species or processes. The journal covers a broad range of topics, including but not limited to biosensors, chemical sensors, gas sensors, intracellular sensors, single molecule sensors, cell chips, and microfluidic devices. It aims to publish articles that address conceptual advances in sensing technology applicable to various types of analytes or application papers that report on the use of existing sensing concepts in new ways or for new analytes.
