ABSTRACT

We report a reagentless and reusable "signal-on" electrochemical DNA sensor that utilizes oligo-thymine as a flexible spacer. This sensor design is sensitive, specific, and selective; it is potentially generalizable for detection of a wide range of biomedical-relevant nucleic acid sequences.
