This “signal-on” E-DNA architecture, based on a target-induced strand displacement mechanism, achieves sub-picomolar detection limits.57 In this mechanism sensor target binding displaces a flexible, single-stranded element modified with a redox-tag. This, in turn, strikes the electrode, generating a large increase in faradaic current.
