We report here a novel detection scheme for simultaneous detection of NADH and H(2)O(2) based on a bifunctional poly(thionine)-modified electrode. Electropolymerization of thionine on a "preanodized" screen-printed carbon electrode effectively lowers the oxidation potential of NADH to 0.15 V (vs.

We reported a graphene-based immunosensor for electrochemical quantification of phosphorylated p53 on serine 15 (phospho-p53(15)), a potential biomarker of gamma-radiation exposure. The principle is based on sandwich immunoassay and the resulting immunocomplex is formed among phospho-p53 capture antibody, phospho-p53(15) antigen
