Abstract:
This study developed a dual-mode "on-off-on" sensor based on a bipyridine ruthenium metal-organic framework (Ru-MOF) and dual enzyme cleavage technology for the sensitive detection of the K-ras gene. The sensor combines electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) and fluorescence (FL) detection modes, achieving high sensitivity and specificity in detecting the K-ras gene through catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA) and dual enzyme cleavage reactions. Experimental results showed that the detection limits for the K-ras gene were 0.044 fM (ECL) and 0.16 fM (FL), demonstrating excellent selectivity and stability during detection. Through testing actual samples, the sensor has shown potential for application in complex biological environments. This method offers an efficient and reliable new tool for cancer diagnosis and treatment.
