| Abstract |
Amplification of electrochemical signal in order to betterment of limit of detection in determination of biomarkers has an important role in early detection of some dangerous diseases such as cancers. For this purpose, in this research, two types of poly (styrene)-block-poly (acrylic acid) amphiphilic copolymer (PS61-b-PAA596 and PS596-b-PAA61) were synthesized by controlled radical polymerization method via reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer polymerization (RAFT) technique. Chemical structure of block copolymers was confirmed by FT-IR spectroscopy and their surface morphology was assessed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Self-assembly of these block copolymers into polymeric vesicles (polymersomes), loading and release efficiency of methylene blue as an electroactive indicator were investigated in DMF and THF solvents. On the basis of our findings PS61-b-PAA596 has better capability for loading and release of MB than PS596-b-PAA61. Then the obtained methylene blue-loaded polymersome successfully used for development of an aptasensor toward determination of trace amounts of myoglobin. The proposed aptasensor showed a wide linear range from 1.0 aM to 1.0 μM with an ultra-low detection limit of 0.73 aM. Applying this amplification strategy, determination of myoglobin in real samples was successfully performed.
