Label free electrochemiluminescence protocol for sensitive DNA detection with a tris(2,2'-bipyridyl)ruthenium(II) modified electrode based on nucleic acid oxidation

Label free electrochemiluminescence (ECL) DNA detection based on catalytic guanine and adenine bases oxidation using tris(2,2'-bipyridyl)ruthenium(II) [Ru(bpy)(3)(2+)] modified glassy carbon (GC) electrode was demonstrated in this work. The modified GC electrode was prepared by casting carbon nanotubes (CNT)/Nafion/Ru(bpy)(3)(2+) composite film on the electrode surface. ECL signals of doublestranded DNA and their thermally denatured counterparts can be distinctly discriminated using cyclic voltammetry (CV) with a low concentration (3.04 x 10(-8) mol/L for Salmon Testes-DNA). Most importantly, sensitive single-base mismatch detection of p53 gene sequence segment was realized with 3.93 x 10(-10) mol/L employing CV stimulation (ECL signal of C/A mismatched DNA oligonucleotides was 1.5-fold higher than that of fully base-paired DNA oligonucleotides). Label free, high sensitivity and simplicity for single-base mismatch discrimination were the main advantages of the present ECL technique for DNA detection over the traditional DNA sensors.

A novel dimer - Heteropolytungstate with a vanadium atom as the centre - Synthesis and structural characterization of (H3O)(4)[VW12O40Na (H2O)(4)](2)

A novel dimer-tungstovanadate, (H3O)(4)[VW12O40Na (H2O)(4)](2), was hydrothermally synthesized and structurally characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction, IR spectra, TGA-DSC thermal analysis and polarograpy. The yellowish crystal crystallized in the triclinic system, space group P1, a = 1.464 5(3) nm, b = 1.468 6(3) nm, c = 1.411 1(3) nm, alpha = 111.82(2)degrees, beta = 93.17(3)degrees, gamma = 117.47(3)degrees, V = 2.210 6(8) nm(3), Z = 1, D-c = 4.552 g . cm(-3), lambda (Mo K alpha) = 0.071 073 nm, mu = 31.402 mm(-1) F(000) = 2 6481 R = 0.078 0. The title compound consists of two Keggin structure units linked together with two hydrated sodium cations to form a dimer with a porous structure with the pore dimension of 0.766 nm X 0.778 5 nm.
