Popis: This paper presents a novel impedimetric aptasensor for cyanobacterial microcystin-LR (L, l-leucine
R, l-arginine) (MC-LR) containing a 5&prime
thiolated 60-mer DNA aptamer (i.e., 5&prime
SH-(CH2)6GGCGCCAAACAGGACCACCATGACAATTACCCATACCACCTCATTATGCCCCATCT CCGC-3&prime
). A nanocomposite electrode platform comprising biocompatible poly(2,5-dimethoxyaniline) (PDMA)-poly(vinylsulfonate) (PVS) and silver nanoparticle (Ag0) on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE), i.e., (GCE/PDMA&ndash
PVS&ndash
Ag0) was used in the biosensor development. Small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) spectroscopic analysis revealed that the PDMA&ndash
Ag0 nanocomposites were polydispersed and contained embedded Ag0. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) responses of the aptasensor gave a dynamic linear range (DLR) and limit of detection (LOD) values of 0.01&ndash
0.1 ng L&minus
1 MC-LR and 0.003 ng L&minus
1 MC-LR, respectively. The cross-reactivity studies, which was validated with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), showed that the aptasensor possesses excellent selectivity for MC-LR.
