Nano-titanium dioxide enhanced biosensing of the interaction of dacarbazine with DNA and DNA bases

The biomolecular binding behavior of anticancer drug dacarbazine (DTIC) in the presence of titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticle interface has been studied by using electrochemical methods. The results indicate that the presence of TiO2 nanoparticles can obviously increase the binding affinity of DTIC to DNA or DNA bases and significantly enhance the detection sensitivity for the relative biomolecular recognition.
