RT Journal Article T1 Enzyme-Free Colorimetric Method for Fast Detection of PIK3CA Gene Mutation by Praseodymia Nanorods A1 Jiang, Lei A1 Wang, Meng A1 Li, Youxun A1 Zhang, Shuyuan A1 Zhu, Xiudong A1 Zhong, Junjie A1 Sun, Jintao A1 Tinoco Rivas, Miguel A1 Chen, Xiaowei AB The frequently mutated phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase catalytic subunit alpha (PIK3CA) gene is associated with multiple tumors and endocytosis of viruses. Identification of muted nucleotides at the hotspot can help in finding the susceptible people who are vulnerable to cancers and viruses. Herein, a simple enzyme-free colorimetric method is developed for the quick detection of PIK3CA gene mutations. The main mechanism lies in the dissimilar interactions between praseodymia nanorods and different nucleotides, as well as the underlying oxidase-mimicking characteristics of praseodymia. With rational designs of probes and processes, this method has great potential for expanded applications in the screening of mutations in other genes of interest.
