Here, a novel label-free electrochemical biosensor with synergistic signal amplification of photocell energy transfer-reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer (PET-RAFT) and ring-opening polymerization (ROP) was developed for the first time for sensitive detection of KRAS G12C mutations. Specifically, hairpin DNA (hDNA), which act as biomolecular probe, was self-assembled on Au electrode surface by Au-S bond. 4-cyano-4-[(dodecylsulfanylthiocarbonyl) sulfanyl] pentanoic acid (CDTPA), the chain transfer agent of PET-RAFT reaction, was then attached to hDNA via amide bond. After that, the target DNA (tDNA) was captured on the electrode surface by complementary base pairing with hDNA. Subsequently, large numbers of electro-active monomers N-acryloxysuccinimide (NAS) were successfully grafted to the electrode surface via PET-RAFT reaction, which provided plenty of junction sites for doxorubicin-polycaprolactone (Dox-PCL) synthesized by ROP. Finally, the Dox-PCL was connected to the electrode surface by ester bond, significantly amplifying the electrochemical signal. Under optimized conditions, the biosensor has a wide linear detection range of 0.1 pM to 1 μM, with a detection limit of 86.9 fM.

The mesoporous polyhedral structure of Pd@PdPtCo MNPs endows them with more specific surface area and more active sites, as well as the synergistic effect between multiple metal elements, all of which increase the electrocatalytic performance of Pd@PdPtCo MNPs in efficiently oxidizing hydroquinone (HQ) to benzoquinone (BQ).
