PROBES FOR DETECTING GENE AND METHOD OF ELECTROCHEMICALLY DETECTING GENE
摘要
<p>Probes for detecting a gene, each containing a terminal redox unit and being capable of having a hairpin structure, are fixed on an electrode and used as a DNA chip. Thus, a target gene is conveniently detected at a high S/N ratio without labeling a sample. There has been developed a system whereby conversion of a hairpin structure into a double-strand structure accompanying the recognition of a target gene is detected based on a change in an electrochemical system.</p>
