摘要
The discovery of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) about a decade ago has brought fascinating evolutions in electronics, material industry, as well as bio-techniques for DNA analysis, gene therapy, drug delivery etc. It has also dramatically promoted the development of DNA biosensing techniques, especially electrochemical DNA biosensor. The application of CNTs in electrochemical DNA biosensors includes two main aspects: on one hand, using CNTs as a novel substrate not only enables immobilization of DNA molecules but also serves as a powerful amplifier to amplify signal transduction event of DNA hybridization. On the other hand, CNTs can also be employed as a powerful carrier to pre-concentrate enzymes or electroactive molecules for electrochemical sensing of DNA hybridization as a novel indicator. In this review, we place emphasis on recent studies of CNTs-based electrochemical DNA biosensors based on these two aspects, with advantages and disadvantages of each aspect introduced herein.
