A novel biosensing technique for highly specific identification of gene with single-base mutation is proposed based on the implementation of the DNA ligase reaction and the biocatalyzed deposition of an insoluble product. The target gene mediated deposition of an insoluble precipitate is then transduced by quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) measurements. In this method, the DNA target hybridizes with a capture DNA probe tethered onto the gold electrode and then with a biotinylated allele-specific detection DNA. A ligase reaction is performed to generate the ligation between the capture and the detection probes, provided there is perfect match between the DNA target and the detection probe. Otherwise even when there is an allele mismatch between them, no ligation would take place. After thermal treatment at an elevated temperature, the formed duplex melts apart that merely allows the detection probe perfectly matched with the target to remain on the electrode surface. The presence of the biotinylated allele-matched probe is then detected by the QCM via the binding to streptavidin-peroxide horseradish (SA-HRP), which catalyzes the oxidative precipitation of 3,3-diaminobenzidine (DAB) by H2O2 on the electrode and provides an amplified frequency response. The proposed approach has been successfully implemented for the identification of single-base mutation in -28 site of the beta-thalassemia gene with a detection limit of 0.1 nM, demonstrating that this method provides a highly specific and cost-efficient approach for point mutation detection.
