What is DNA surface nanopatterning by selective reductive desorption from polycrystalline gold electrode about?

Selective electrochemical desorption was employed to pattern polycrystalline gold electrodes with thiolated DNA. The sacrificial thiol 3-mercaptopropionic acid (3-MPA) was selectively desorbed from the crystallographic plane Au(1 1 1) to revealed bare gold domains, surrounded by SAMs of 3-MPA present on the adjacent low index planes Au(1 1 0) and Au(1 0 0). Thiolated DNA sequences were further immobilised on the revealed Au(1 1 1) and the hybridisation efficiency towards complementary and non-complementary sequences evaluated. All derivatisation steps were followed by cyclic voltammetry and faradaic electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Successful hybridisation resulted in large drops in resistance to charge transfer, attributed to the extension of the DNA surface duplex into solution resulting in an increased diffusion of electrochemical probes to the electrode surface. The results demonstrated the feasibility of the method to generate a DNA sensor able to efficiently discriminate between complementary and non-complementary sequences with good reproducibility.
