Design of a dual-output fluorescent DNA logic gate and detection of silver ions and cysteine based on graphene oxide

In the presence of graphene oxide, upon formation of cytosine-Ag-cytosine the fluorescence wavelength of FAM-labeled DNA exhibited a red shift, and its intensity significantly increased. A novel fluorescent DNA sensor for Ag+ and cysteine detection, and a dual-output fluorescent DNA INHIBIT logic gate are designed.
