    Abstract In this work we examined the properties of thrombin-binding aptamer (TBA) modified by the introduction of inversion of polarity sites (IPS) in order to assess the effect of modification on the activation of TBA to serve as DNAzyme with peroxidase-like activity. Two oligonucleotides were designed to possess one (IPS1) or three (IPS2) inversion sites. TBA typically forms antiparallel G-quadruplexes with two G-tetrads, which exhibits very low DNAzyme peroxidise activity. DNAzyme activity is generally attributed to parallel G-quadruplexes. Hence, inversion of polarity was introduced in the TBA molecule to force the change of G-quadruplex topology. All oligonucleotides were characterized using circular dichroism and UV-Vis melting profiles. Next, the activity of the DNAzymes formed by studied oligonucleotides and hemin was investigated. The enhancement of peroxidase activity was observed when inversion of polarity was introduced. DNAzyme based on IPS2 showed the highest peroxidase activity in the presence of K

    Abstract In this work we examined the properties of thrombin-binding aptamer (TBA) modified by the introduction of inversion of polarity sites (IPS) in order to assess the effect of modification on the activation of TBA to serve as DNAzyme with peroxidase-like activity. Two oligonucleotides were designed to possess one (IPS1) or three (IPS2) inversion sites. TBA typically forms antiparallel G-quadruplexes with two G-tetrads, which exhibits very low DNAzyme peroxidise activity. DNAzyme activity is generally attributed to parallel G-quadruplexes. Hence, inversion of polarity was introduced in the TBA molecule to force the change of G-quadruplex topology. All oligonucleotides were characterized using circular dichroism and UV-Vis melting profiles. Next, the activity of the DNAzymes formed by studied oligonucleotides and hemin was investigated. The enhancement of peroxidase activity was observed when inversion of polarity was introduced. DNAzyme based on IPS2 showed the highest peroxidase activity in the presence of K + or NH 4 + ions. This proves that inversion of polarity can be used to convert a low-activity DNAzyme into a DNAzyme with high activity. Since TBA is known for its anticoagulant properties, the relevant experiments with IPS1 and IPS2 oligonucleotides were performed. Both IPS1 and IPS2 retain some anticoagulant activity in comparison to TBA in the reaction with fibrinogen. Additionally, the introduction of inversion of polarity makes these oligonucleotides more resistant to nucleases.

    Abstract In this work we investigated the effect of a DNA oligonucleotide sequence on the activity of a DNAzyme with covalently attached hemin. For this purpose, we synthesized seven DNA-hemin conjugates. All DNA-hemin conjugates as well as DNA/hemin complexes were characterized using circular dichroism, determination of melting temperatures and pKa of hemin. We observed that hemin conjugation in most cases led to the formation of parallel G-quadruplexes in the presence of potassium and increased thermal stability of all studied systems. Although the activity of DNA-hemin conjugates depended on the sequence used, the highest activity was observed for the DNA-hemin conjugate based on a human telomeric sequence. We used this DNAzyme for development of "sandwich" assay for detection of DNA sequence. For this assay, we used electric chip which could conduct electricity after silver deposition catalyzed by DNAzyme. This method was proved to be selective towards DNA oligonucleotides with mismatches and could be used for the detection of the target. To prove the versatility of our DNAzyme probe we also performed experiments with streptavidin-coated microplates. Our research proved that DNAzyme with covalently attached hemin can be used successfully in the development of heterogeneous assays.

    Abstract It is well known that nucleic acids play an essential role in living organisms because they store and transmit genetic information and use that information to direct the synthesis of proteins. However, less is known about the ability of nucleic acids to bind specific ligands and the application of oligonucleotides as molecular probes or biosensors. Oligonucleotide probes are single-stranded nucleic acid fragments that can be tailored to have high specificity and affinity for different targets including nucleic acids, proteins, small molecules, and ions. One can divide oligonucleotide-based probes into two main categories: hybridization probes that are based on the formation of complementary base-pairs, and aptamer probes that exploit selective recognition of nonnucleic acid analytes and may be compared with immunosensors. Design and construction of hybridization and aptamer probes are similar. Typically, oligonucleotide (DNA, RNA) with predefined base sequence and length is modified by covalent attachment of reporter groups (one or more fluorophores in fluorescence-based probes). The fluorescent labels act as transducers that transform biorecognition (hybridization, ligand binding) into a fluorescence signal. Fluorescent labels have several advantages, for example high sensitivity and multiple transduction approaches (fluorescence quenching or enhancement, fluorescence anisotropy, fluorescence lifetime, fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET), and excimer-monomer light switching). These multiple signaling options combined with the design flexibility of the recognition element (DNA, RNA, PNA, LNA) and various labeling strategies contribute to development of numerous selective and sensitive bioassays. This review covers fundamentals of the design and engineering of oligonucleotide probes, describes typical construction approaches, and discusses examples of probes used both in hybridization studies and in aptamer-based assays.

    Abstract The properties of cytosine- and guanine-rich oligonucleotides contributed to employing them as sensing elements in various biosensors. In this paper, we report our current development of fluorescence oligonucleotide probes based on i-motif or G-quadruplex forming oligonucleotides for cellular measurements or bioimaging applications. Additionally, we also focus on the spectral properties of the new fluorescent silver nanoclusters based system (ChONC12-AgNCs) that is able to anchor at the Langmuir monolayer interface, which is mimicking the surface of living cells membrane.

    Abstract Here, we report the synthesis of a quantum dot (QD)-DNA covalent conjugate to be used as an H 2 O 2 -free DNAzyme system with oxidase activity. Amino-coupling conjugation was carried out between amino-modified oligonucleotides (CatG4-NH 2 ) and carboxylated quantum dots (CdTe@COOH QDs). The obtained products were characterized by spectroscopic methods (UV-Vis, fluorescence, circular dichroizm (CD), and IR) and the transmission electron microscopy (TEM) technique. A QD-DNA system with a low polydispersity and high stability in aqueous solutions was successfully obtained. The catalytic activity of the QD-DNA conjugate was examined with Amplex Red and ABTS (2,2′-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonate)) indicators using reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated by visible light irradiation. The synthesized QD-DNAzyme exhibited enhanced catalytic activity compared with the reference system (a mixture of QDs and DNAzyme). This proved the assumption that the covalent attachment of DNAzyme to the surface of QD resulted in a beneficial effect on its catalytic activity. The results proved that the QD-DNAzyme system can be used for generation of the signal by light irradiation. The light-induced oxidase activity of the conjugate was demonstrated, proving that the QD-DNAzyme system can be useful for the development of new cellular bioassays, e.g., for the determination of oxygen radical scavengers.
