Unique electrocatalytic activity of a nucleic acid-mimicking coordination polymer for the sensitive detection of coenzyme A and histone acetyltransferase activity†
Abstract
A nucleic acid-mimicking CoA–Ag(I) coordination polymer (CP) was in situ prepared and its unique electrocatalytic activity to H2O2 reduction was discovered. Based on it, a novel, label-free electrochemical sensor has been developed for the sensitive detection of coenzyme A (CoA) and histone acetyltransferase (HAT) activity.
