title: Fluorescence detection for DNA using hybridization chain reaction with enzyme-amplification.
abstract: A signal amplification based on a combination of hybridization chain reaction (HCR) and enzyme-enhancement was applied in the study of a novel biosensor. The target sequence was added as catalyst which was simply transmitted but did not disappear as the DNA double strand grew on the surface of magnetic beads (MBs).
