Fifty Years of Nucleic Acid Electrochemistry

Abstract: Electrochemistry of nucleic acids (NAs) is a booming field offering sensors for DNA hybridization and DNA damage. Since the middle of the 1990s, when the development of the DNA sensors began, the number of papers in this field is steadily increasing. Electroactivity of DNA and RNA was reported for the first time in 1958. Using oscillographic polarography at controlled AC (OP, AC chronopotentiometry) and a dropping mercury electrode it was shown within several years that OP signals respond to changes in DNA str… Show more

“…Electrochemical nucleic acid biosensors have received considerable attention for the detection of biological agents due to their ability to obtain sequence-specific information in a rapid, sensitive, low cost, reproducible and portable manner [7][8][9]. Electrochemical hybridization biosensors are also characterized by their minimal power requirements and independent of sample turbidity.…”
