Abstract

Abstract: Invited for this month's cover is the group of Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Schuhmann, Dr. Daliborka Jambrec and Dr. Adrian Ruff at Ruhr‐Universität in Bochum, Germany. The cover picture shows a novel procedure for the preferential post‐hybridization labeling of double‐stranded DNA based on the intercalating compound acridine orange, which was covalently bound to glucose oxidase. Labeling with a highly active biocatalyst allows for a simple and sequence‐independent amplification of the signal proportional to the amount of hybridized DNA that may be coupled with other amplification strategies.

Abstract : "We created an alternative DNA post‐hybridization labeling strategy based on a specific intercalating compound that was covalently bound to a highly active redox enzyme providing the basis for electrochemical readout."
