传感器类型
电化学生物传感器
检测对象
普鲁士蓝(Prussian blue, PB, Fe2K(CN)12·16H2O)、氰化钾(potassium cyanide, KCN)、三氧化二砷(arsenic trioxide, As2O3);样品基质为0.1 M磷酸盐缓冲液(PBS,pH 7.0)
检测原理
该传感器以硼掺杂金刚石(BDD)电极为换能器,表面固定细胞色素c(cyt c)。cyt c保留天然电子传递能力,在0.1 M PBS(pH 7)中于约−240 mV出现不可逆还原峰。氰化钾(KCN)、三氧化二砷(As2O3)和普鲁士蓝(PB)通过静电/配位作用结合到cyt c表面正电氨基酸侧链,而非血红素铁位点,阻碍蛋白与BDD之间的电子转移。被测物浓度越高,结合量越大,循环伏安(CV)和方波伏安(SWV)还原峰电流越低;电化学阻抗谱(EIS)中界面电荷转移电阻Rct和界面电容增大,可用Randles等效电路定量。该体系无酶催化或核酸放大,依赖蛋白直接电子转移和BDD低背景、宽电位窗实现检测。

英文摘要
An electrochemical method based on a cytochrome c biosensor was developed, for the detection of selected arsenic and cyanide compounds. Boron doped diamond (BDD) electrode was used as a transducer, onto which cytochrome c was immobilised and used for direct determination of Prussian blue, potassium cyanide and arsenic trioxide. The sensitivity as calculated from cyclic voltammetry (CV) and square wave voltammetry (SWV), for each analyte in phosphate buffer (pH=7) was found to be in the range of (1.1-4.5)×10(-8) A μM(-1) and the detection limits ranged from 4.3 to 9.1 μM. The biosensor is therefore able to measure significantly lower than current Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and World Health Organisation (WHO) guidelines, for these types of analytes. The protein binding was monitored as a decrease in biosensor peak currents by SWV and as an increase in biosensor charge transfer resistance by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). EIS provided evidence that the electrocatalytic advantage of BDD electrode was not lost upon immobilisation of cytochrome c. The interfacial kinetics of the biosensor was modelled as equivalent electrical circuit based on electrochemical impedance spectroscopy data. UV-vis spectroscopy was used to confirm the binding of the protein in solution by monitoring the intensity of the soret bands and the Q bands. FTIR was used to characterise the protein in the immobilised state and to confirm that the protein was not denatured upon binding to the pre-treated bare BDD electrode. SNFTIR of cyt c immobilised at platinum electrode, was used to study the effect of oxidation state on the surface bond vibrations. The spherical morphology of the immobilised protein, which is typical of native cytochrome c, was observed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and confirmed the immobilisation of the cytochrome c without denaturisation.
