Ultrasensitive and facile electrochemical deoxyribonucleic acid biosensor based on the conformational change of the recognition interface.

An ultrasensitive electrochemical impedance spectroscopic deoxyribonucleic acid biosensor has been developed based on the conformational change of the deoxyribonucleic acid recognition interface with lodging probes. Pairing process leads to desorption of deoxyribonucleic acid bases from the gold surface, leading to a significant change of the interfacial conformation and the charge transfer resistance. Remarkably low detection limits down to 40 fM are thus obtained without any additional amplification step.
