As a platform for “turn‐on” DNA sensing , the level of oxidation of graphene oxide strongly affects its fluorescence quenching ability and binding interactions to single‐stranded oligodeoxyribonucleotides (ssODNs), leading to a broad range of sensitivity. Fine‐tuning the level of oxidation of graphene oxide yields a DNA‐detection platform that is highly sensitive in serum and biological media.
