A difunctional DNA–AuNP dendrimer coupling DNAzyme with intercalators for femtomolar detection of nucleic acids†
Abstract
A novel difunctional DNA–nanogold (AuNP) dendrimer with a hemin–G-quadruplex was for the first time utilized as the nanotag for the in situ amplified electronic signal for nucleic acid detection by coupling high-efficiency DNAzyme with the intercalated methylene blue (MB).
