Abstract

Potent peroxidase-like activity of the β-ketoenamine (1)-dicopper (II) complex (2) for the chemiluminescence (CL) of luminol either in the presence or absence of H2O2 has been previously demonstrated by our group. In this study, the β-ketoenamine (1) as the ligand unit for copper(II) was incorporated into the oligonucleotide (ODN) probes. It has been shown that the catalytic activity of the ODN probes conjugating the ligand-Cu(II) complex is activated by hybridization with the target DNA with the complementary sequence. Thus, this study has successfully demonstrated the basic concept for the sensitive detection of nucleic acids by CL based on the template-inductive activation of the catalytic unit for CL.
