Freeze-Driven Adsorption of Oligonucleotides with polyA-Anchors on Au@Pt Nanozyme
Abstract
:1. Introduction
2. Results and Discussion
2.1. Design of Experiments
- (1)
- A linear polyA block consisting of 3, 5, 7, or 10 deoxyadenine residues (An), triple-branched A3 (3A3), or triple-branched A5 (3A5): The triple-branched structures were obtained using trebler phosphoramidite during oligonucleotide synthesis. The polyA block is necessary for attaching the oligonucleotide to the nanoparticle surface, as deoxyadenine has the highest affinity for gold [31,38]. A7 anchors are sufficient for robust attachment of oligonucleotides to [Au]NP surfaces when an additional polyT block (at least T5) is present at the opposite end [31]. In our study, the triple-branched A block was used as an anchor for the first time, and we hypothesized that it would provide better binding of the oligonucleotide to the nanoparticle surface.
- (2)
- A random sequence of 23 nucleotides: This length refers to the interval that covers most of the sequences used in molecular genetic analysis for unique hybridization interactions or selective enzymatic hydrolysis.
- (3)
- A polyT block consisting of seven linear deoxythymine residues (T7): The polyT block does not adsorb onto the nanoparticle surface due to its minimal affinity in the order of A > C > G > T [47,48]. However, several studies have shown that the presence of a polyT block as a tail at the opposite end of the polyA block, or even as a spacer immediately following the polyA block, significantly improves the adsorption of the oligonucleotide and stabilizes the conjugate [31,38].
