Abstract:
A sensitive, selective and recyclable electrochemical sensor is designed for ATP detection based on amino-functionalized metal-organic framework. The functional MOF as the sensor is constructed by one-step synthesis Ce-MOF and sequentially modified on the Au electrode and conjugated with the aptamer of ATP. The presence of target ATP leads to the conformational change of aptamer strands and strong electrochemical impedance. The electrochemical sensor can detect ATP down to 5.6 nM with the linear range of 10 nm to 1000 μM. The present study is the first report on the use of MOF as an electrochemical sensor for ATP at nM level. This strategy has been successfully applied in detection of ATP in serum of cancer patients, which reveals its potential application in clinical diagnosis.
