Linear, redox modified DNA probes as electrochemical DNA sensors.

We show here that hybridization-linked changes in the dynamics of a redox-modified, electrode-bound linear (as opposed to stem-loop) probe DNA produce large changes in Faradaic current, allowing for the ready detection of target oligonucleotides.
