In the present study, we report a novel sensitive method for the detection of adenosine using surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) sensing platform based on a structure-switching aptamer. First, Ag-clad Au colloids film on a polished gold disc is prepared as enhanced substrate and modified with thiolated capture DNA. The formation of an aptamer/DNA duplex of expanded anti-adenosine aptamer and tetramethylrhodamine-labeled DNA (denoted TMR-DNA) is then developed, in which TMR-DNA could also hybridize completely with capture DNA. The introduction of adenosine thus triggers structure switching of the aptamer from aptamer/DNA duplex to aptamer/target complex. As a result, the released TMR-DNA is captured onto the SERS substrate, resulting in an increase of SERS signal. Under optimized assay conditions, a wide linear dynamic range (2.0 × 10−8 M to 2 × 10−6 M) was reached with low detection limit (1.0 × 10−8 M). Moreover, high selectivity, stability and facile regeneration are achieved. The successful test demonstrates the feasibility of the strategy for adenosine assay.
