A GQ electrochemical biosensor for the detection of GQ ligands ethidium bromide and polyamines spermine or spermidine was developed [77], which was based on the immobilization of the 30-mer d([G.sub.3][(A[G.sub.3]).sub.2][A.sub.2][G.sub.2][(A[G.sub.3]).sub.3]AGC) sequence on a pretreated multiwalled carbon nanotubes modified GC electrode.
