Abstract
Herein, an electrochemical biosensor was fabricated for DNA demethylase detection based on DNA demethylation triggered endonuclease BstUI and Exonuclease III digestion. After the double-strand DNA was demethylated, it can be further digested by BstUI and formed a blunt end at the electrode surface. Then, the remained fragment of DNA-DNA duplex was further cleaved by exonuclease III and led to increased electrochemical signal. Based on this detection strategy, the biosensor showed high sensitivity with low detection limit of 0.15Â ng/mL. Moreover, the developed method also presented high selectivity and acceptable reproducibility. This work provides a novel detection platform for DNA demethylase detection.
