The amplification power of PCR is coupled with programmability of SNA assembly for detection of COVID-19. A linker-based single-component assembly system based on E gene of SARS-CoV-2 RNA provided sensitive colorimetric response. The palindromic linker is cleaved based on 5′-exonuclease activity in the course of PCR amplification. The positive and negative viral COVID-19 samples are simply distinguished via different colors by naked eyes. Continuous identification of suspected infectious cases is crucial to control the recent pandemic caused by the novel human coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2). Real-time polymerase chain reaction (real-time PCR) technology cannot be implemented easily and in large scale in some communities due to lack of resources and infrastructures. Here, we report a simple colorimetric strategy derived from linker-based single-component assembly of gold nanoparticle-core spherical nucleic acids (AuNP-core SNAs) for visual detection of PCR products of SARS-CoV-2 ribonucleic acid (RNA) template. A palindromic linker is designed based on SARS-CoV-2 specific E gene to program the identical colloidal SNAs into large assemblies along with a distinct red-to-purple color change. The linker acts as a probe of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in conventional PCR reaction. In the presence of the correct template the palindromic linker, which is complementary to a short region within the target amplicon, is cleaved by 5′-exonuclease activity of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) polymerase. Cleavage of the palindromic linker during the amplification process inhibits the single-component assembly formation of SNAs. So, positive and negative viral samples produce simply red and purple colors in the post PCR colorimetric test, respectively. Evaluation of the samples obtained from cases with laboratory-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection revealed that our assay can rival with real-time PCR method in sensitivity.
