Abstract

DNAzyme-based electrochemical biosensors provide exceptional analytical sensitivity and high target recognition specificity for disease diagnosis. This review provides a critical perspective on the fundamental and applied impact of incorporating DNAzymes in the field of electrochemical biosensing. Specifically, we highlight recent advances in creating DNAzyme-based electrochemical biosensors for diagnosing infectious diseases, cancer and regulatory diseases. We also develop an understanding of challenges around translating the research in the field of DNAzyme-based electrochemical biosensors from labs to clinics, followed by a discussion on different strategies that can be applied to enhance the performance of the currently existing technologies to create truly point-of-care electrochemical DNAzyme biosensors.
