Background
Chlorpyrifos is one of the important pesticides in the pesticide residue. Common methods for detecting chlorpyrifos include high performance liquid chromatography, gas chromatography, enzyme linked immunosorbent assay and the like. Although these methods can be used for sensitive detection of chlorpyrifos in real samples, they have limited their application in rapid detection due to the expensive, long and cumbersome instrumentation. The aptamer is a DNA/RNA fragment capable of specifically interacting with a molecule to be detected, and is widely used for constructing aptamer biosensors due to the advantages of convenience in synthesis, low cost, easiness in design, strong affinity and good specificity. The electrochemical aptamer sensor has the advantages of being rapid, stable, high in selectivity, suitable for online detection and the like, and therefore the electrochemical aptamer sensor is widely concerned in pesticide residue detection research. However, in electrochemical aptamer sensors, an identification signal is often generated by means of an electrochemical probe. The construction process is complicated, and the detection sensitivity is often influenced by the structure and the property of the probe. And because of the long range electron transfer involved, the signal transfer efficiency is low, affecting sensitivity. In recent years. It has been reported that DNA can be decomposed into phosphate, and that the phosphate can be reacted with sodium molybdate to generate heteropoly phosphomolybdate which has electrochemical activity, thereby generating an electric current signal (biosens, bioelectronic, 2016, 85, 220-225). Yangminghui reacted DNA directly with sodium molybdate to generate current, and an aptamer sensor was prepared for the detection of HER2 (anal. chem., 2017, 89: 2547-2552). Based on electrochemical aptamer sensors where the DNA itself generates a current, the signal intensity is determined by the amount of DNA on the electrode surface. Currently, DNA amplification techniques such as PCR, rolling-over reactions, self-assembly (anal. chem., 2017, 89: 10264-10269), and the like are commonly used. However, these amplification techniques have the disadvantages of complicated reaction process, long reaction time, etc.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to overcome the defects in the research of the electrochemical aptamer sensor and construct the electrochemical aptamer sensor capable of being used for detecting pesticide residue chlorpyrifos with high sensitivity. The invention aims to solve the technical problem of the electrochemical signal amplification technology generated by DNA itself so as to simplify the construction process and shorten the detection time. The measure adopted by the invention is mainly that a large amount of DNA is loaded on the surface of the flower-shaped mesoporous silicon dioxide to amplify signals. The method comprises the steps of preparing flower-shaped aminated Mesoporous Silica (MSN), and loading chlorpyrifos aptamer complementary strand (cDNA) on a mesoporous material through nanogold to form an MSN-Au-cDNA compound; because the MSN surface has regular and orderly gaps which are diverged from the center to the outside, the specific surface area is increased, and a large amount of DNA can be loaded. The MSN-Au-cDNA generates a double-spiral structure through cDNA and an aptamer (Apt) loaded on the surface of the electrode so as to be connected into the electrode, so that the content of phosphate groups on the surface of the electrode is improved, and a signal is amplified; the constructed sensor can be used for detecting chlorpyrifos, and when no target exists, a large amount of DNA exists on the surface of an electrode, and a sensitive current signal can be generated after sodium molybdate is dripped; when chlorpyrifos exists, part of MSN-Au-cDNA falls off from the surface of the electrode, and the generated current signal is reduced; and the more the signal decreases as the concentration of acetamiprid increases. The invention provides a simple, convenient and feasible new method for detecting the residual chlorpyrifos.
