An ultrasensitive electrochemical biosensor for detecting p53 gene was fabricated based on heated gold disk electrode coupling with endonuclease Nt.BstNBI-assisted target recycle amplification and alkaline phosphatase (ALP)-based electrocatalytic signal amplification. For biosensor assembling, biotinylated ssDNA capture probes were first immobilized on heated Au disk electrode (HAuDE), then combined with streptavidin-alkaline phosphatase (SA-ALP) by biotin-SA interaction.

This study examined the protective effect of anthocyanin from red radish (ARR), which has been shown to protect the cardiovascular system and is rich in polyacylated pelargonidin (P) glycosides, on PA-treated SV 40 transfected aortic rat endothelial cells (SVAREC). In all, 22 distinct anthocyanins were identified in the ARR via ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-triple quadrupole mass spectrometry, the most abundant of which were pelargonidin-3-(p-coumaroyl)diglucoside-5-glucoside (31.

However, previous electrically heated electrodes, including microwires and microdiscs, are usually small and often suffer from the requirement of frequent calibrations of the electrode surface temperature ( T) at different environment temperatures. Here, we fabricate a temperature-controllable disk electrode (TCDE) with a conventional size (3-5 mm in diameter).

First, a DNA signal probe P1 was for the first time designed and labeled with ferrocene (Fc) near the attached SH-5'-end, so as to shorten the distance between Fc and the electrode and enhance the initial current of Fc compared with that labeled at the 3'-end far from the electrode. Then the signal amplification was achieved by Exo III-assisted Hg recycling.
