| Abstract | The reactivity of photodegradation products of benzo(a)pyrene vs. DNA has been assessed using both genomic and oligonucleotide based DNA electrochemical sensors. The kinetic of a photooxidation reaction of benzo(a)pyrene (BaP) carried out in controlled conditions using a 6 W UV lamp peaked at 365 nm has been studied using LC with fluorimetric detection. Degradation of benzo(a)pyrene by both UV and UV/H(2)O(2) exhibited pseudo-first-order reaction kinetics with half-lives ranging from 3.0 to 9.8h depending on the pH and on the amount of H(2)O(2). The oxidation products of benzo(a)pyrene obtained in different conditions were tested on genomic ssDNA electrochemical sensors obtained via immobilisation of salmon testis ss-DNA on graphite screen-printed electrodes. Guanines oxidation signals obtained using chronopotentiometry were used to detect the interaction of the products with DNA. The dose-response curve obtained with benzo(a)pyrene incubated 24 h at pH 4.7 was different from that of the parent compound indicating a different type of interaction with DNA. A DNA hybridisation sensor was also assembled using a thiolated/biotynilated 24-mer oligonucleotide immobilised on a gold screen-printed electrode and avidin-alkaline phosphatase conjugate. A voltammetric detection of naphtol was used to detect the hybridisation reaction. A net inhibition of the hybridisation reaction was observed after incubation with benzo(a)pyrene oxidation products that was attributed to the formation of stable adducts with the guanines of the biotinylated strand. LC-MS-MS studies of the oxidation products confirmed the presence of chemical species potentially forming adducts with DNA. The data reported demonstrate that DNA electrochemical sensors have the potential to be used to monitor remediation processes and to assess the potential toxicity vs. DNA of chemicals forming stable DNA adducts. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
