| Abstract | The sensitivity and detection time of an aptamer based biosensor for detecting botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) depend upon the formation of proper tertiary architecture of aptamer, which closely correlates with the combinatorial effects of multiple types of ions and their concentrations presented in the buffer. Finding the optimal conditions for four different ions at 12 different concentrations, 20,736 possible combinations, by brute force is an extremely laborious and time-consuming task. Here, we introduce a feedback system control (FSC) scheme that can rapidly identify the best combination of components to form the optimal aptamer structure binding to a target molecule. In this study, rapid identification of optimized ionic combinations for electrochemical aptasensor of BoNT type A (BoNT/A) detection has been achieved. Only about 10 iterations with about 50 tests in each iteration are needed to identify the optimal ionic concentration out of the 20,736 possibilities. The most exciting finding was that a very short detection time and high sensitivity could be achieved with the optimized combinational ion buffer. Only a 5-min detection time, compared with hours or even days, was needed for aptamer-based BoNT/A detection with a limit of detection of 40 pg/ml. The methodologies described here can be applied to other multi-parameter chemical systems, which should significantly improve the rate of parameter optimization. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V.
