Exposure to even very low levels of lead, cadmium, and mercury ions is known to cause
neurological, reproductive, cardiovascular, and developmental disorders, which are more …

The development of nonlinear optical (NLO) materials has been driven by a multitude of
important technological applications that can be realized if suitable materials are available …

DNAzymes hold promise for gene‐silencing therapy, but the lack of sufficient cofactors in the
cell cytoplasm, poor membrane permeability, and poor biostability have limited the use of …

Currently, portable, low-cost, and easy to operate on-chip analytical units are urgently
demanded to meet the requirement for point-of-care testing in resource-limited regions …

On the basis of the remarkable difference in affinity of graphene (GO) with ssDNA containing
a different number of bases in length, we for the first time report a GO–DNAzyme based …

A Pb2+-driven DNA molecular device which is constructed based on a DNA duplex−
quadruplex exchange is utilized for the highly selective and sensitive detection of Pb2+. The …

Metal ion sensors are an important yet challenging field in analytical chemistry. Despite
much effort, only a limited number of metal ion sensors are available for practical use …

The lead ion (Pb2+) has been proven to induce a conformational change of K+-stabilized G-
quadruplex DNAzyme and inhibit the peroxidase-like activity [Li, T.; Wang, E.; Dong, SJ Am …

An unlabeled immobilized DNA-based sensor was reported for simultaneous detection of
Pb2+, Ag+, and Hg2+ by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) with [Fe (CN) 6] 4 …

It is well known that nucleic acids play an essential role in living organisms because they
store and transmit genetic information and use that information to direct the synthesis of …
