title: Electronic detection of DNA mutation based on strand exchange reaction.
abstract: A new approach to electronic detection of a single base mismatch is described. The assay involves the electrochemical measurements of DNA strand exchange reactions (SERs) between electrode-bound redox-modified DNA duplex and target DNA, where the sequence of redox-modified DNA is exchangeable to that of the target DNA. The presence of a single base mismatch can be determined from the slower SER rates compared with fully matched DNA.
