Abstract
Hybridbio/-synthetic sensory conjugated polymer nanoparticles (CPNs) are developed for selective label-free detection of target ssDNA in serum. Carboxylic acid-functionalized anionic polyfluorene nanoparticles are rationally designed as signal amplifying unit to bioconjugate with amine functionalized single stranded oligonucleotides as a receptor. The covalent DNA coating can significantly improve the photostability of the DNA-bioconjugated CPNs over a wide range of buffer conditions. Better ssDNA discrimination for the DNA-bioconjugated CPNs sensor is achieved owing to increased interchain interactions and more efficient exciton transport in nanoparticles. The distinguishable fluorescent color for DNA-bioconjugated CPNs in the presence of target ssDNA allows naked-eye detection of ssDNA under UV irradiation.
