▎ 摘  要

A graphene oxide (GO)-based cost-effective, automatted strip test has developed for screening of inhibitors of endonuclease EcoRV. The method involves the use of GO and a DNA substrate for EcoRV that contains both an ssDNA region for binding of GO and a fluorescein amidite (FAM)-labelled dsDNA. All the components were inkjet printed on a piece of parchment paper. The ssDNA region binds to the surface of GO and anchors so that the fluorescence of FAM is quenched. The parchment paper strip is then incubated with a sample containing EcoRV which causes enzymatic hydrolysis, and dsDNA was separated from the GO. As a result, green fluorescence is generated at the reaction spot. Enzyme activity can be measured in the presence and absence of aurintricarboxy acid acting as an EcoRV inhibitor. This method excels by its need for 2-3 orders less reagents compared to the standard well plate assay. Thus, it is an efficient platform for GO-based screening of EcoRV enzyme inhibitors.
