Nucleic acids in biofluids are emerging biomarkers for molecular diagnosis of diseases, whose clinical use has been hindered by the lack of sensitive and convenient detection assays. Herein, we report a sensitive nucleic acid detection method based on allosteric DNAzyme biosensors named SPOT (sensitive loop-initiated DNAzyme biosensor for nucleic acid detection) by rationally designing a programmable DNAzyme of endonuclease capability. SPOT can be activated once a nucleic acid target of specific...
