Diagnosing viruses by the rolling circle amplified synthesis of DNAzymes

Zoya Cheglakov, Yossi Weizmann, Bernhard Basnar and Itamar Willner


Circular DNA is used as a template for the amplified detection of M13 phage ssDNA by a rolling circle amplification (RCA) process that synthesizes DNAzyme chains, thus enabling the colorimetric or chemiluminescent detection of the analyte.
