  • COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR DETECTION OF A TARGET IN A MOLECULAR ASSAY USING PH CHANGES
    Publication number: 20160047826
    Abstract: The disclosure provides a sensor for detecting a target comprising a probe that is able to recognize the presence of the target; a pH-changing enzyme conjugated to an oligonucleotide that senses the recognition of the presence of the target by the probe; and a solid support linked or linkable to the probe; wherein the presence of the target causes the sensor to be either captured to the solid support or released into solution for detection of pH changes. Also provided are methods for using the sensor and kits.
