Abstract

An iridium(III) complex exhibiting higher responce towards i-motif DNA over dsDNA and ssDNA was employed for the construction of a TdT activity detection platform. The assay exhibited a linear signal enhancement for TdT in the concentration range of 0 to 8 U mL-1, and the limit of detection for TdT was 0.25 U mL-1.
