Electrochemically Controlled RAFT Polymerization for
Highly Sensitive Electrochemical Biosensing of Protein Kinase Activity
Posted on 2019-01-10 - 23:14
Phosphorylation of proteins catalyzed
by protein kinases (PKs)
is essential to many biological processes; the sensitive detection
of PK activity and the screening of PK inhibitors are thus integral
to disease diagnosis and drug discovery. Herein, a highly sensitive
biosensor has been fabricated for the electrochemical detection of
PK activity by exploiting the electrochemically controlled reversible
addition–fragmentation chain transfer (eRAFT) polymerization
as a novel amplification strategy. The fabrication of the eRAFT-polymerization-based
electrochemical biosensor involves (1) the immobilization of substrate
peptides onto a gold electrode by way of gold–sulfur self-assembly,
(2) the site-specific phosphorylation of substrate peptides by PKs,
(3) the anchoring of carboxyl-group-containing chain transfer agents
(CTAs) to the phosphorylated sites, and (4) the eRAFT polymerization
under a potentiostatic condition, using ferrocenylmethyl methacrylate
(FcMMA) as the monomer. Through the eRAFT polymerization, long polymer
chains containing numerous electroactive Fc tags can be de novo grafted
from each phosphorylated site, resulting in significant amplification
of the electrochemical detection signal. The as-fabricated biosensor
is highly selective and features a very low detection limit of 1.02
mU mL–1, in the presence of adenosine 3′,5′-cyclic
monophosphate (cAMP)-dependent PK (PKA) as the model target. Results
also demonstrate that it can be applied to the screening of PK inhibitors
and the detection of PK activity in complex serum samples and cell
lysates. Moreover, it holds the merits of easy fabrication, high efficiency,
and low cost, which make it a promising tool for the detection of
PK activity and the screening of potential PK inhibitors.
