Label-free DNAzyme-based fluorescing molecular switch for sensitive and selective detection of lead ions.

We developed a label-free fluorescent Pb(2+) sensor utilizing a DNAzyme-based fluorescing molecular switch, which enables fluorescence detection of Pb(2+) in aqueous solution with high sensitivity and selectivity.
