β¦ Synopsis
DNA biosensors are being developed as alternatives to conventional DNA microarrays. These devices couple signal transduction directly to sequence recognition. Some of the most sensitive and functional technologies use fibre optics or electrochemical sensors in combination with DNA hybridization. In a shift from sequence recognition by hybridization, two emerging single-molecule techniques read sequence composition using zero-mode waveguides or electrical impedance in nanoscale pores.

DNA biosensors were prepared by electrodepositing platinum nanoparticles (Pt-nano) on the surface of a glassy carbon electrode (GCE). A 19-mer ssDNA of promoter 35S, which was specific to most inserted sequences in genetically modified food, was immobilized on the Pt nanoparticle-deposited GC electr
