pH-Operated Triplex DNA Device on MoS 2 Nanosheets

We report a triplex-based DNA device coupled with molybdenum disulfide (MoS ) nanosheets for use as a pH-sensing platform. The device transitions from a duplex state at pH 8 to a triplex state at pH 5. The interaction of the device with MoS nanosheets in the two states is read out as a fluorescence...

Description
Summary:We report a triplex-based DNA device coupled with molybdenum disulfide (MoS ) nanosheets for use as a pH-sensing platform. The device transitions from a duplex state at pH 8 to a triplex state at pH 5. The interaction of the device with MoS nanosheets in the two states is read out as a fluorescence signal from a pH-insensitive dye attached to the device. We characterized the operation of the DNA device on MoS nanosheets, analyzed the pH response, and tested the reversibility of the system. Our strategy can lead to the creation of a suite of biosensors where the sensing element is a triplex DNA device and the signal response is modulated by inorganic nanomaterials.
