Electrical Probes of DNA-Binding Proteins.


ABSTRACT: A DNA electrochemistry platform has been developed to probe proteins bound to DNA electrically. Here gold electrodes are modified with thiol-modified DNA, and DNA charge transport chemistry is used to probe DNA binding and enzymatic reaction both with redox-silent and redox-active proteins. For redox-active proteins, the electrochemistry permits the determination of redox potentials in the DNA-bound form, where comparisons to DNA-free potentials can be made using graphite electrodes without DNA modification. Importantly, electrochemistry on the DNA-modified electrodes facilitates reaction under aqueous, physiological conditions with a sensitive electrical measurement of binding and activity.
