Novel Electrochemical Biosensor for the Detection of DNA Damage Caused by Chemical Carcinogens
 Blašková, Marta ; Vyskočil, Vlastimil (advisor) ; Zima, Jiří (referee)
Presented Bachelor Thesis is focused on the development and utilization of a simple and inexpensive electrochemical DNA biosensor for the detection of DNA damage caused by chemical carcinogens. A glassy carbon electrode (GCE), having several advantages such as broad potential window and well-renewable surface, was used for its preparation. A low- molecular-weight DNA isolated from salmon sperm was used. The initial part of the work is devoted to the optimization of the biosensor preparation and to its characterization, which was performed using several electrochemical techniques - cyclic voltammetry (CV), square-wave voltammetry (SWV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The influence of the DNA immobilization type on the quality of the biosensor response was also investigated. Two approaches were tested: (i) spontaneous adsorption of DNA by leaving the DNA stock solution to dry on the GCE surface and (ii) adsorptive accumulation of DNA on the GCE surface from the solution (selected as the optimum one). The second part of this Thesis deals with the detection of DNA damage by various chemical carcinogens. Four model substances were tested: flutamide (an antiandrogen antitumor drug), 4-nitro-3-(trifluoromethyl)aniline (NTMA; a metabolite of flutamide), 2-aminoanthracene (a genotoxic...
