DNA electrochemical sensor using osmium complex.

The [Os(DA-bpy)2DPPZ]2+ complex (DPPZ; dipyrido [a:2',3'-c] phenazine, DA-bpy; 4,4'-diamino-2,2'-bipyridine) had a lower half-wave potential (E1/2) of 147 mV (vs. Ag|AgCl) and higher binding affinity with DNA (binding constant, K = 3.1 x 10(7) M-1) than those of DPPZ type metal complexes. With a single stranded DNA (ssDNA) immobilized gold electrode, the hybridization signal (delta I) of the [Os(DA-bpy)2DPPZ]2+ complex was linear in the concentration range of 1.0 pg ml-1-0.12 microgram ml-1 for the targeted DNA with a regression coefficient of 0.999. The detection limit was 0.1 pg ml-1. The 400 bp yAL3 gene was also detected with good sensitivity and selectivity using the [Os(DA-bpy)2DPPZ]2+ complex.

Evaluation of osmium(II) complexes as electron transfer mediators accessible for amperometric glucose sensors.

In order to lower the redox potentials of Os(III/II) complexes, the mixed ligand complexes of Os(II) were synthesized. The redox potentials of Os(III/II) complexes could be lowered by the use of 4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine (dmbpy), imidazole (Him) or its derivatives, and chloride ion as ligands, e.g., values of the redox (formal) potentials of 628 mV vs. Ag/AgCl for [Os(bpy)3]3+/2+ (bpy: 2,2'-bipyridine) and -6 mV for [OsCl(Him)(dmbpy)2]2+/+ were given in deaerated 0.1 mol dm-3 phosphate buffer (pH 7.0). The evaluation of Os(II) complexes as electron transfer mediators accessible for amperometric glucose sensors was examined according to the determination of the redox potentials of Os(III/II) complexes and the second-order rate constants for electron transfer between glucose oxidase (GOx) in reduced form and the Os(III) complex. Although the Os(II) complexes with lower redox potentials tended to decrease the second-order rate constants ks, the ks values for the majority of Os(II) complexes synthesized in this study were greater than that for ferrocenecarboxylic acid. Acceleration of the electron-transfer reaction is attributable to the hydrogen bonding and/or the electrostatic interaction between the Os(II) complexes and GOx. It may be consequently concluded that the mixed ligand complexes of Os(II) with bpy (dmbpy), Him (its derivatives), and Cl- can act as more efficient electron transfer mediators for the fabrication of amperometric glucose sensors.

Electrochemical characterization and DNA-binding property of dipyridophenazine complexes of osmium (II).

Novel dipyridophenazine (DPPZ) complexes of osmium (II), [Os(L)2(DPPZ)]2+ [L = 2,2'-bipyridyl (bpy)(1), 4,4'-diamino-2,2'-bipyridyl (DA-bpy)(2), 4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridyl(DM-bpy)(3), and 4,4'-dicarboxyl-2,2'-bipyridyl (DC-bpy)(4)] have been synthesized and characterized. The DNA-binding properties of the complexes were studied by electrochemical methods. As the results, complex 2 shows higher affinity to DNA than other osmium complexes. The binding constant, K of complex 2 to calf thymus DNA has been determined to be 2.3 x 10(7) M-1 by normal pulse voltammetry (NPV).

DNA hybridization sensor utilizing [Os(5,6-dmphen)3]2+ by square wave voltammetry.

DNA hybridization detection utilizing [Os(5,6-dmphen)3]2+ (tris(5,6-dimethyl-phenanthroline) osmium(II/III)) as hybridization indicator was studied, because [Os(5,6-dmphen)3]2+ has the most largest association constant (K2+) and high current density in osmium methyl substituted phenanthroline complexes. As the result, target DNA could be detected selectively ranging from 6.9 x 10(-10) to 6.9 x 10(-5) g/mL using square wave voltammetry.

Determination of cholesterol and cholesterol ester with novel enzyme microsensors.

Enzyme microsensors using cholesterol oxidase (EC 1.1.3.6) and cholesterol esterase (EC 3.1.1.13) were developed for measuring cholesterol and cholesterol ester. The platinum microsensors (platinum diameter, 50 microns) were etched in hot aqua regia to create a cavity at their tip. A porous composite material prepared from acetylene black and Teflon emulsion was packed into this cavity and the redox mediator [Os(bpy)3](PF6)2 was monitored by cyclic voltammetry in the potential range of 200-900 mV. The microsensors were dipped overnight in buffer solution containing the desired enzyme to immobilize it on the tip by adsorption. Calibration curves for measurements of cholesterol and cholesterol ester, the effects of pH, temperature, and concomitant compounds, the lifetime of the microsensors, and their availability for measuring cholesterol and cholesterol ester in urine were examined. Under optimal conditions, the response of the sensors was linear in concentration ranges of 5 microM-0.47 mM cholesterol and 2 microM-1.00 mM cholesterol ester.
