Title:
ELECTROCATALYTIC NUCLEIC ACID HYBRIDIZATION DETECTION
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2005005952
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The detection of specific DNA sequences using electrochemical readout would permit the rapid and inexpensive detection and identification of bacterial pathogens and the analysis of human genes. A new assay developed for this purpose is described that harnesses an electrocatalytic process to monitor DNA hybridization.
