摘要： DNA origami has been able to controllably construct highly precise and complex two-or three-dimensional nanostructures of various morphologies. However, their application in the biosensing field is still relatively limited. In this paper, we proposed a portable electrochemical sensor for the detection of nucleic acid targets, using circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) as an example. This biosensor combined DNA origami with high-curvature gold nanostructures. First, the target was captured by DNA origami in a homogeneous solution and formed the DNA origami-ctDNA (DOC) complex. Subsequently, the DOC complex was further brought to the electrode surface through hybridization with peptide nucleic acids (PNAs) modified on the surface of the gold nano-structures. The high-curvature nanostructured surface reduces entanglement and aggregation between the PNA probes, enhancing their accessibility to DOC. Furthermore, the substantial intrinsic charge of DNA origami can adsorb numerous electroactive [Ru(NH3)6]3+, whereas PNAs are electrically neutral, significantly enhancing the detection sensitivity and reducing background signals, enabling ultrasensitive detection sensitivity. Additionally, we demonstrated that the DNA origami-based sensor enhanced signal amplification efficiency compared to single-stranded DNA and tetrahedral DNA nanostructures. Through this signal amplification strategy, the sensor achieves highly sensitive (0.26 fM), specific, and selective (in serum) detection of ctDNA, providing a new avenue for nonenzymatic signal amplification and expanding the application of DNA origami in the sensing field.
