Synthesis and Characterization of a Long-term Stable Lead-dependent DNAzyme
As a type of functional nucleic acid with enzymatic activity,DNAzymes are widely used in analytical fields such as biosensing due to their structural advantages that are different from proteases and ribozymes. However,the structure of DNAzyme is susceptible to degradation by biological enzymes,which slows down the speed of such biosensor development. Although chemical modification can be used to resolve the problem,this strategy has disadvantages,such as being costly and hard to synthesize. Considering this,we choose a new strategy from the sights of structure transformation to resolve this problem. Then,we design and synthesize a kind of circular DNAzyme by utilizing the enzyme-resistance properties of circular nucleic acid structure. The research results show that the circular DNAzyme has better structural stability than traditional single-stranded DNAzymes in exonuclease,tap water,and 75% fetal bovine serum(FBS),and the duration is up to 6 h in 75% FBS. In addition,introducing a circular structure will also enhance the interaction between DNAzymes and substrate sequences,thereby affecting the signal expression of biosensors based on circular DNAzymes. This feature will provide new ideas for constructing DNAzyme-based biosensors.
