DNAzyme crosslinked hydrogel: a new platform for visual detection of metal ions.

We propose the use of DNAzyme as a crosslinker of hydrogel to develop a catalytic platform for the sensing of metal ions. The DNAzyme crosslinked hydrogel can undergo gel-sol transition in response to Cu(2+) ions, which enables sensitive visual detection of Cu(2+) by observing the release of pre-trapped AuNPs.
