“Cu-DNAzyme” and “G4-DNAzyme” were used to develop a “turn-off” dual-DNAzyme colorimetric biosensor, which could be used to detect Cu2+ by employing exonuclease III-mediated cyclical assembly (EMCA). EMCA was based on the cleavage activity of Cu2+ to transfer the linkage sequences of the substrate strand and enzyme strand into the transition sequence. The horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-mimicking activity of the G4-DNAzyme was lost after binding with the complementary transition sequence and was hydrolyzed by Exo III. These results demonstrate that the proposed colorimetric biosensor was an effective method for ultradetection of trace metals in a high original signal background. Due to the high sensitivity of the biosensor, the limit of detection (LOD) of Cu2+ is 0.16 nM. This design offers a general purpose platform that could be applied for the detection of any metal ion target through adjustment of metal-dependent DNA-cleaving DNAzymes, which is of great significance for the rapid determination of food safety.

AbstractThe affinity of metal ions for DNA is logical considering that the structure of DNA includes a phosphate backbone with a net-negative charge, a deoxyribose sugar with O atoms, and purine and pyrimidine bases that contain O and N atoms. DNA-metal ion interactions encompass a large area of research that ranges from the most fundamental characterization of DNA-metal ion binding to the role of DNA-bound metal ions in disease and human health. Alternative DNA base pairing mediated by metal binding is also being investigated and manipulated for applications in logic gates, molecular machines, and nanotechnology. This review highlights recent work aimed at understanding interactions of redox-active metal ions with DNA that provides a better understanding of the mechanisms by which various types of oxidative DNA damage (strand breakage and base modifications) occur. Antioxidants that mitigate oxidative DNA damage by coordinating metal ions that produce reactive oxygen species are addressed, as well as recent work on the effect of DNA-metal ion interactions and the efficacy of quinolone-based antibacterial drugs. Recent advances in metal-mediated base pairing that triggers conformational changes in DNA structure for use as selective metal ion sensors and novel nanotechnology applications are also included.

Workman and Langmore have recently proposed a procedure for isolating particular chromatin fragments. The method requires restriction endonuclease cutting of the chromatin and a probe, their digestion with two exonucleases which leave complimentary single strand termini and low temperature hybridization of these. We here report simple electron microscopic monitoring of the four reactions involved.Our test material was ϕX-174 RF DNA which is cut once by restriction endonuclease Xho I. The conversion of circles to linear molecules was followed in Kleinschmidt spreads. Plate I shows a circular and a linear DNA molecule. The rate of cutting is shown in Figure 1.After completion of the endonuclease cutting, one portion of the DNA was treated with exonuclease III, an enzyme known to digest the 3' terminals of double helical DNA. Aliquots when examined in the electron microscope reveal a decreasing length of double helix and increasing bushes at the ends.
