Electrochemiluminescence-based DNA detection using guanine oxidation at electrostatic self-assembly of Ru(bpy)(3)(2+)-doped silica nanoparticles on indium tin oxide electrode

A Ru(bpy)(3)(2+)-doped silica nanoparticle-[Ru@Silica] modified indium tin oxide electrode was prepared by simple electrostatic self-assembly technique, and one-electron catalytic oxidation of guanine bases in double-strand and denatured DNA was realized using the electrochemiluminescence detection means.
