摘要
© 2007 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim. (Figure Presented) The mercury is rising: A DNAzyme with several thymine residues located close to the catalytic site is rendered inactive. However, thymine-Hg2+-thymine interactions transform the DNAzyme into an active enzyme. When fluorophore/quencher pairs are attached, the DNAzyme can be converted into a highly sensitive and selective mercury sensor with a detection limit of 2.4 nM and a greater than 100 000-fold selectivity over other metal ions.
