trong fluorescence quenching and preferential adsorption of ss DNA or RNA on Graphene Oxide (GO) enabled to detect
target gene in a simple and direct manner. However, GO interferes with probe binding to the target because of their strong
binding affinity to GO resulting in decreased detecting sensitivity. Therefore, we introduce a strategy to detach multiple probes
per single target DNA from GO using RNase H, a ribonuclease to act on only RNA paired with DNA. Since DNA becomes free
to bind the RNA probe adsorbed on GO after digestion of the paired RNA by RNase H, multiple RNA probes could be detached
from GO and are degraded by RNase H. As a result, fluorescence signal could be amplified allowing a sensitivity detection of
target DNA. Until now, we could detach and digest maximum 76 RNA probes per single target DNA from GO. In current, we
are addressing effect of GO on specificity of probe detachment and adsorption or deactivation of the enzymes as well. In the
presentation, we will discuss more details of the results.
