Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: PRSS1 mutations or polymorphism in the peripheral blood of patients can be used as susceptible molecular markers to pancreatic cancer. A sensor for selective electrochemical detection of PRSS1 genotypes was developed based on site-specific DNA cleavage of restriction endonuclease EcoRI. METHODS: A mercapto-modified hairpin probe was immobilized on a gold electrode. The probe's neck can be cleaved by...
