step a series of compounds exhibiting a significant difference in
their voltammetric signals in the presence of ssDNA or dsDNA. Du
et al. [44] recently fabricated a DNA biosensor by the sequential
modification of gold electrodes with Au-NPs and CdS-NPs. The
modified electrode was applied for the detection of target DNA with
Co(phen) 2 2 + as hybridization indicator. The target DNA sequence
was quantified over the range 2.0

In a similar methodology, methylene blue (MB) has recently
been used as electrochemical indicator for the preparation of an
adenosine triphosphate (ATP) aptasensor [45]. Au-NPs claimed to
make more MB interact with DNA on the sensing interface. The DPV
peak current corresponding to the MB oxidation decreased with
ATP concentration in the 1 × 10 - 10 Mto1 × 10 - 7 M range, with a
detection limit of 0.1 nM. The sensor showed advantages regarding
low-cost, rapidity, simple detection, andreusability.
Intercalated doxorubicin has been also used as an electro-
chemical label in the detection of DNA hybridization events
in a genosensor built by layer-by-layer covalent attachment of
multiwalled carbon nanotubesand Au-NPs[46]. The oxidation peak
current obtained by differential pulse voltammetry showed a linear
relationship with the logarithm of the target DNA concentration in
the range 5.0
