Background:

Ruthenium and osmium complexes are widely explored for DNA interaction studies.
Developing sensitive and selective DNA detection methods is crucial for diagnostics.

Purpose of the Study:

To synthesize and characterize a novel osmium complex, [Os(DA-bpy)2DPPZ]2+.
To evaluate its performance as a biosensor for DNA hybridization detection.

Main Methods:

Electrochemical synthesis and characterization of the osmium complex.
Immobilization of single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) on a gold electrode.
Electrochemical detection of DNA hybridization using the osmium complex.

Main Results:

The [Os(DA-bpy)2DPPZ]2+ complex exhibited a lower half-wave potential and higher DNA binding affinity compared to other DPPZ complexes.

A linear hybridization signal was observed in the range of 1.0 pg/mL–0.12 µg/mL for targeted DNA, with a detection limit of 0.1 pg/mL.

The complex demonstrated sensitive and selective detection of a 400 bp yAL3 gene.

Conclusions:

The [Os(DA-bpy)2DPPZ]2+ complex is a promising electrochemical probe for sensitive DNA detection.
Its enhanced DNA binding and electrochemical properties facilitate accurate gene analysis.
This work contributes to the development of advanced biosensing platforms for genetic applications.
