title: Electropolymerization of intercalator-grafted conducting polymer for direct and amplified DNA detection.
abstract: Efficient DNA intercalators comprising naphthalene diimide grafted with ethylenedioxythiophene monomer were successfully designed, synthesized and applied to mediate/promote conducting polymer growth electrochemically on biosensor electrodes for direct and amplified DNA detection.
