Abstract

A method for quantitatively analyzing a biochemical compound such as glucose or cholesterol is performed by bringing the biochemical compound into contact with double stranded DNA fragments which are fixed onto a surface of an electrode at their one terminals and in which electrochemically active threading intercalators are intercalated, in an aqueous medium under application of electric potential to the electrode in the presence of an oxidase capable of oxidizing the biochemical compound and becoming a reduced oxidase, and detecting an electric current flowing between the electrode and another electrode placed in the aqueous medium.
