Abstract
An electrochemical method of identifying the presence of a target protein in a sample is provided. The method comprises providing a redox probe modified to include a detector that is suitable to bind to the target protein, and exposing the sample to the detector-modified redox probe. A change in the electrochemical signal produced by the redox probe as compared to a control signal is indicative of the presence of the target protein.
Claims26
A redox probe unit comprising a redox probe modified to incorporate a detector-binding moiety adapted to bind a detector having the capacity to specifically interact with a target.

(canceled)
An electrochemical method of detecting a target in a sample comprising the steps of:
- i) exposing the sample to a redox probe modified to include a detector that is suitable to bind to the target, wherein the detector is linked to the probe via a detector binding moiety, and
- ii) measuring the electrochemical signal produced by the redox probe, wherein a change in the electrochemical signal of the probe as compared with a control signal is indicative of the presence of the target in the sample.
