Getting a response : A surface‐bound and redox‐modified (methylene blue) DNA probe architecture is at the heart of a sensor for detecting single‐nucleotide mismatched targets with a “polarity‐switching” response. It outputs a decreased Faradaic current when hybridized to a perfectly matched (PM) target, and an increased Faradaic current when hybridized to a single‐base mismatched (SM) target (see scheme).
