Ultrasensitive detection of transcription factors with a highly-efficient diaminoterephthalate fluorophore via an electrogenerated chemiluminescence strategy

Herein, we apply an electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) based method employing a diaminoterephthalate analogue as an ECL emitter and hairpin DNA as an amplification strategy, for the sensitive assay of transcription factors, which has enormous potential in actual biological detection.
