Misfolding of a DNAzyme for ultrahigh sodium selectivity over potassium

Abstract: Herein, the excellent Na+ selectivity of a few RNA-cleaving DNAzymes was exploited, where Na+ can be around 3000-fold more effective than K+ for promoting catalysis. By using a double mutant based on the Ce13d DNAzyme, and by lowering the temperature, increased 2-aminopurine (2AP) fluorescence was observed with addition of both Na+ and K+. The fluorescence increase was similar for these two metals at below 10 mM, after which K+ took a different pathway. Since 2AP probes its local base stacking environment, K+ … Show more

“…The Na + data seem to be able to fit into a simple binding model, whereas the K + data need a two‐stage folding to fit. This is consistent with the misfolding model for K + . Given the very small signal change, we do not further discuss this quantitatively.…”

“…It is likely that other end‐distance‐dependent sensing mechanisms will fail. We observed more differences between the metals if 2AP was used to probe local folding, whereas the largest difference was observed from cleavage activity …”
