Abstract
A novel substrate-bound DNAzyme complex is provided comprising a DNAzyme bound to a nucleic acid-based substrate. The DNAzyme comprises a pair of binding arms which hybridize to binding regions on the substrate, and a catalytic domain between the binding arms. The nucleic acid-based substrate comprises a phosphorothioate-modified ribonucleotide cleavage site between the binding regions of the substrate. The catalytic domain of the DNAzyme catalyzes heavy metal-dependent cleavage of the substrate cleavage site. The DNAzyme complex is useful in a method of heavy metal sensing. A novel cadmium-selective DNAzyme is also described for cadmium sensing.
