A bio-inspired sensor coupled with a bio-bar code and hybridization chain reaction for Hg(2+) assay

Chem Commun (Camb). 2015 Oct 18;51(81):15031-4. doi: 10.1039/c5cc05369b.

Abstract

In this article, a bio-inspired DNA sensor is developed, which is coupled with a bio-bar code and hybridization chain reaction. This bio-inspired sensor has a high sensitivity toward Hg(2+), and has been used to assay Hg(2+) in the extraction of Bauhinia championi with good satisfaction.
