We describe a simple and convenient method for the preparation of photoresponsive DNA-modified electrodes using primer extension (PEX) reactions. A naphthalimide derivative was used as the photosensitizer that was attached to the C5-position of 2′-deoxyuridine-5′-triphosphate (dUTPNI). It has been found that dUTPNIis a good substrate for the PEX reactions using KOD Dash and Vent (exo-) enzymes in solutions to incorporate naphthalimide (NI) moieties into the DNA sequences. On the electrode surface immobilized with the primer/template DNA, the PEX reactions to incorporate dUTPNImolecules into the DNA sequence were found to efficiently proceed. With this solid-phase method, the DNA monolayers capable of generating photocurrent due to the photoresponsive NI molecule can be constructed. It was shown that the photocurrent generation was significantly suppressed by a single-nucleotide mismatch included in the primer/template DNA, which is applicable for the design of photoelectrochemical sensors to discriminate single-nucleotide sequences.
