title = "Sensitive, selective and resuable electrochemical sensor for mercury(II) based on molecular beacon approach",
abstract = "We have developed a sensitive and selective electrochemical sensor for the detection of mercury(II) ions in aqueous media. This electrochemical sensor is based on the molecular beacon which involves an electroactive, ferrocene-labeled DNA hairpin structure and provides strategically selective binding of thyminethymine mismatch for Hg2+ ions. The modified electrode showed a voltammetric signal due to an one-step redox reaction of the surface-confined ferrocenyl moiety. The {"}signal-on{"} upon mercury binding could be attributed to a change in conformation from open structure to restricted hairpin structure. The molecular beacon mercury(II) ion sensor was amenable to regeneration by unfolding the ferrocene-labeled DNA in 10 μM cysteine.",
