Title:
NUCLEIC ACID SEQUENCE DETECTION
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2004046369
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The present application discloses a system and a method for detecting a target nucleic acid sequence using a support 104 comprising an electrode 22 with a nucleic acid probe 24 attached thereto. A nucleic acid target 26 and a non-covalent photoelectrochemical label 30 are contacted with the probe 24. The photoelectrochemical intercalator 30 preferentially binds double-stranded nucleic acids. Irradiating the mixture generates a photocurrent at the electrode 22. Also disclosed is a support 104 comprising an array of nucleic acid probe elements.
