Abstract
The work focuses on a development of the biosensor and its use for the detection of prostate specific antigen (PSA). Cobalt tris-(tert-butylphenoxy) mono carboxyphenoxy phthalocyanine (CoPc) was π-π stacked or sequentially added to graphene oxide (GO) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and used for the detection of PSA, in the presence of an aptamer and a complementary DNA on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE). Differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) was used for the detection of PSA. The electrode: GCE-GO-CoPc(π-π)-Aptamer performed the best and gave the lowest limit of detection of 0.35 × 10−3 ng/mL and this value decreased in the presence of a complementary DNA (cDNA) to 0.31 × 10−3 ng/mL. The electrodes (using GCE-GO-CoPc(π-π)-Aptamer-cDNA) were found to be selective to PSA in the presence of interfering molecules: BSA (bovine serum albumin), glucose, l-cysteine and was also found to be stable when 50 scans were done.
期刊介绍:
Polyhedron publishes original, fundamental, experimental and theoretical work of the highest quality in all the major areas of inorganic chemistry. This includes synthetic chemistry, coordination chemistry, organometallic chemistry, bioinorganic chemistry, and solid-state and materials chemistry.
Papers should be significant pieces of work, and all new compounds must be appropriately characterized. The inclusion of single-crystal X-ray structural data is strongly encouraged, but papers reporting only the X-ray structure determination of a single compound will usually not be considered. Papers on solid-state or materials chemistry will be expected to have a significant molecular chemistry component (such as the synthesis and characterization of the molecular precursors and/or a systematic study of the use of different precursors or reaction conditions) or demonstrate a cutting-edge application (for example inorganic materials for energy applications). Papers dealing only with stability constants are not considered.
