Development of novel oligonucleotide-based sensors which are highly Hg(II) selective and are insensitive to other heavy metal ions.
Highly selective mercury sensing was achieved using oligodeoxyribonucleotides carrying reporter groups. The novel oligonucleotide-based sensor was highly selective for Hg (II) and was insensitive to other heavy metal ions.
