A new label-free isothermal fluorescence amplification detection for nucleic acid has been developed. In this paper, we
first developed a novel sensitive and specific detection platform with an unmodified hairpin probe (HP) combination of
the graphene oxid (GO)/ SYBR green I dye (SG), which was relied on the selective principle of adsorption and the high quenching efficiency of GO. Then for the application of this new strategy, we used Mirco RNA-21 (Mir-21) as the target to evaluate this working principle of our design. When the target was hybridizing with the HP and inducing its
conformation of change, an efficient isothermal circular strand-displacement polymerization reaction was activating to assist the first signal amplification. In this format, the formed complex conformation of DNA would interact with its high affinity dye, then detached from the surface of GO after incubating with the platform of GO/intercalating dye. This
reaction would accompany with obvious fluorescence recovery, and accomplish farther signal enhancement by a mass of
intercalating dye inserting into the minor groove of the long duplex replication product. By taking advantage of the
multiple amplification of signal, this method exerted substantial enhancement in sensitivity and could be used for rapid
and selective detection of Mir-21 with attomole range. It is expected that this cost-effective GO based sensor might hold considerable potential to apply in bioanalysis studies.
