Biochemistry
Materials Science

Background:

Precise control over molecular arrangement on surfaces is crucial for advanced biosensor development.
Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) offer a platform for surface functionalization, but achieving controlled probe spacing remains a challenge.

Purpose of the Study:

To demonstrate the use of wireframe DNA nanocubes as scaffolds for ordered DNA probe immobilization on gold surfaces.
To develop novel biosensors with molecular-level control over probe separation and multiple signaling modalities.

Main Methods:

Fabrication of thiol-modified DNA nanocube SAMs on gold single crystal bead electrodes.
Utilizing atomic force microscopy (AFM) to characterize nanocube coverage and spacing.
Designing DNA probes with fluorophore labels for Förster Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) measurements.
Implementing turn-off (target hybridization) and turn-on (NeutrAvidin binding) sensing mechanisms.

Main Results:

Achieved uniform DNA nanocube SAMs with controlled inter-nanocube separation (20-30 nm).
Demonstrated a FRET-based turn-off sensor for DNA targets with high sensitivity (<50 pM detection limit) and low cross-talk.
Developed a turn-on NeutrAvidin sensor utilizing the same scaffold, showcasing versatility.

Conclusions:

Wireframe DNA nanocubes serve as effective scaffolds for precise biosensor surface design.
Controlled probe spacing facilitates the development of sophisticated biosensors with multiple, correlative detection signals.
This approach enables a wide range of sensing applications with enhanced specificity and reliability.
