摘要

Mode of action of many antibiotic, antiviral and anticancer drugs is based on binding of these compounds to DNA leading to interference with DNA replication and transcription. Diverse solution methods exist for analysis of interactions between DNA and small molecule ligands; however, multiplexing such assays remains challenging. Surface approaches present a feasible platform for detecting DNA-ligand interactions at the scales of hundreds to thousands sequences through parallelization in array format resulting in increased efficiency and reduced costs of assays. This thesis describes a surface approach to analysis of DNA ligand binding thermodynamics, which were monitored through electrochemical detection of DNA melting transitions. Surface-bound DNA "probe" molecules were immersed in a sample medium containing complementary "target" DNA bearing an electroactive label. The extent of probe-target hybridization was recorded as a function of temperature with electrochemical methods to generate a DNA melting curve. Equilibrium operation was confirmed through superimposition of DNA hybridization/denaturation transitions triggered by cooling and heating. In the presence of a minor groove binding ligand, the drug netropsin, the DNA melting transition was shifted to higher temperature, indicating duplex stabilization by the ligand. As a result, thermodynamic profile of drug binding to duplex DNA was extracted via analyzing the drug-induced DNA thermal stabilization. Free energies acquired from the surface melting scans were in good agreement with those from solution measurements validating surface approach for drug-DNA binding detection. Multiplexing of surface assays can be accomplished through implementation of multiple DNA sequences on microelectrode arrays manufactured via photolithography. This approach can be also applied to covalently binding drugs, e.g., cisplatin, that typically reduce DNA melting temperature due to distortion of helical structure.
