Synthesis of new Metal Complex – Biomolecule Hybrids as Redox Sensors for Specific Nucleobases

Gasser G., Bond A.M., Graham B., Kosowski Z., Spiccia L., Monash University, AU

There are a number of redox-active supramolecular receptors described in the literature, but those containing ferrocene as a redox-active reporter group are the most frequently cited. It has been shown that modified ferrocenyl conjugates can [...]

New Ferrocene-Functionalized Cationic Polythiophene For Label-Free Electrochemical DNA Detection

Harding-Lepage P., Le Floch F., Leclerc M., Ho H.-A., Harding-Lepage P., Leclerc M., Université Laval, CA

A specific polycationic polythiophene was discovered in order to identify dsDNA from ssDNA. The main properties of this new polymer are its conformational possibilities associated with photophysics modifications. This conjugated polymer is still subject to [...]
