Published by American Chemical Society. Here, we report the electrochemical detection of single-point mutations using solid-phase isothermal primer elongation with redox-labeled oligonucleotides. A single-base mutation associated with resistance to rifampicin, an antibiotic commonly used for the treatment of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, was used as a model system to demonstrate a proof-of-concept of the approach. Four 5′-thiolated primers, designed to be complementary with the same fragment of the target sequence and differing only in the last base, addressing the polymorphic site, were self-assembled via chemisorption on individual gold electrodes of an array. Following hybridization with single-stranded DNA, Klenow (exo-) DNA polymerase-mediated primer extension with ferrocene-labeled 2′-deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates (dNFcTPs) was only observed to proceed at the electrode where there was full complementarity between the surface-tethered probe and the target DNA being interrogated. We tested all four ferrocenylethynyl-linked dNTPs and optimized the ratio of labeled/natural nucleotides to achieve maximum sensitivity. Following a 20 min hybridization step, Klenow (exo-) DNA polymerase-mediated primer elongation at 37 °C for 5 min was optimal for the enzymatic incorporation of a ferrocene-labeled nucleotide, achieving unequivocal electrochemical detection of a single-point mutation in 14 samples of genomic DNA extracted from Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains. The approach is rapid, cost-effective, facile, and can be extended to multiplexed electrochemical single-point mutation genotyping. publishersversion published
