title: Electrochemical properties of anthraquinone-capped DNA-hairpins immobilized on gold surface.
abstract: Disulfide functionalized hairpin-forming DNAs having an anthraquinone linker as a redox probe with variable number of A-T base pairs were synthesized. The electron transfer through the DNAs in self-assembled monolayers on gold surface was studied.
