Researchers developed a simple luminescence assay for detecting ATP using aptamers and a DNA light-switching complex. This method offers sensitive and selective detection without complex labeling or enzymes.

Area of Science:

  • Biochemistry
  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Molecular Biology

Background:

  • Nucleic acid aptamers are increasingly used as molecular probes in bioanalysis and biosensors.
  • Developing general and simple signaling strategies for aptamer-target binding is crucial for practical applications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel signaling method for aptamer-based detection using a DNA molecular light-switching complex.
  • To demonstrate the applicability of this method for sensitive small-molecule detection, using ATP as a model target.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a DNA molecular light-switching complex, [Ru(phen)2(dppz)]2+, integrated with aptamers.
  • Monitored luminescence intensity changes resulting from aptamer conformational changes upon target binding.
  • Employed ATP as a model target to validate the signaling mechanism.

Main Results:

  • Achieved sensitive and selective ATP detection down to 1 nM in homogeneous solution.
  • Observed significant luminescence changes of [Ru(phen)2(dppz)]2+ due to aptamer conformational changes upon ATP binding.
  • Demonstrated a simple assay requiring no covalent labeling of aptamers or use of enzymes.

Conclusions:

  • The developed signaling strategy using aptamers and [Ru(phen)2(dppz)]2+ is a general and simple method for aptamer-based target detection.
  • This approach offers a promising alternative to existing fluorescence/luminescence assays for aptamer-based sensing.
  • The method is suitable for sensitive and selective detection of small molecules in homogeneous solutions.
