PubReading [165] - Macrocyclic Metal Complex−DNA Conjugates for Electrochemical Sensing of Single Nucleobase Changes in DNA - J. Duprey, J. Tucker et al

The direct incorporation of macrocyclic cyclidene complexes into DNA via automated synthesis results in a new family of metal-functionalized DNA derivatives that readily demonstrate their utility through the ability of one redox-active copper(II)-containing strand to distinguish electrochemically between all four canonical DNA nucleobases at a single site within a target sequence of DNA.DOI: 10.1021/jacs.5b11319 - 2015
