Electroanalytical Methods Of Biological Materials

Edited By Anna Brajter-toth, James Chambers Copyright 2002

    This text details contemporary electroanalytical strategies of biomolecules and electrical phenomena in biological systems. It presents significant developments in sequence-specific DNA detection for more efficient and cost-effective medical diagnosis of genetic and infectious diseases and microbial and viral pathogens. The authors discuss the late
