Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for detecting a target biomolecule in a sample comprising a plurality of biomolecules, whereby the target biomolecule is provided with a tag, said tag comprising a catalytic active moiety which catalyses a reaction yielding an insoluble reaction product which precipitates on flexible electrically conductive nanoelectrodes. The precipitation onto said nanoelectrodes causes a change in their electroconductivity which is accessible to electroanalytical methods. The invention relates further to a biochip comprising a solid support with nanoelectrodes attached thereto and probe molecules bound to all or to a plurality of said nanoelectrodes which may be the same or different, a segment of said probe molecules being able to interact specifically with a segment of the target biomolecules.
