Dual molecular recognition strategy for highly sensitive electrochemical detection of dopamine based on amplification of DNA–Au bio–bar codes

We had reported an electrochemical assay for dopamine with high sensitivity and selectivity based on dual molecular recognition strategy and amplification of DNA–Au bio–bar codes. In this assay, carbon nanotubes were first immobilized on the glass carbon electrode surface. Subsequently, a boronic acid-functionalized pyrene probe was self-assembled on the sidewalls of carbon nanotubes via π–π stacking interactions as a capture probe....
