Catalytically synthesized Prussian Blue nanozymes as labels for electrochemical DNA/RNA sensors.

We propose catalytically synthesized nanozymes based on Prussian Blue (PB) and azidomethyl-substituted poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (azidomethyl-PEDOT) as novel electrocatalytic labels for DNA/RNA sensors. Catalytic approach allowed to synthesize highly redox and electrocatalytically active Prussian Blue nanoparticles functionalized with azide groups that enable 'click' conjugation with alkyne-modified oligonucleotides. Both competitive and sandwich-type schemes were realized.
