▎ 摘　　要

Despite fluorescent quenching with graphene oxide (GO) having shown great success in various applications - bioluminescent quenching has not yet been demonstrated using GO as a quencher. To explore the ability of GO to quench bioluminescence, we used Gaussia luciferase (Gluc) as a donor and GO as a quencher and demonstrated its application in sensing of two target analytes, HIV-1 DNA and IFN-gamma. We demonstrated that the incubation of Gluc conjugated HIV-1 and IFN-gamma oligonucleotide probes with GO provided for monitoring of probe-target interactions based on bioluminescence measurement in a solution phase sensing system. The limits of detection obtained for IFN-gamma and HIV-1 DNA detection were 17 nM and 7.59 nM, respectively. Both sensing systems showed selectivity toward the target analyte. The detection of IFN-gamma in saliva matrix was demonstrated. The use of GO as a quencher provides for high sensitivity while maintaining the selectivity of designed probes to their respective targets. The use of GO as a quencher provides for an easy assay design and low cost, environmentally friendly reporter.
