Abstract:
A novel biosensor for ultrasensitive detection of copper (Cu(2+)) was established based on the assembly of magnetic nanoparticles induced by the Cu(2+)-dependent ligation DNAzyme. With a low limit of detection of 2.8 nM and high specificity, this method has the potential to serve as a general platform for the detection of heavy metal ions.
