DNA-damaging agents in the environment represent a serious danger to human health. We use a supercoiled DNA-modified mercury electrode as a fast-response biosensor for the detection of DNA strand cleaving agents. The sensor is based on a strong difference between the a.c. voltammetric responses of covalently closed circular (supercoiled) and of open circular (nicked) plasmid DNA. We show that the sensor can detect hydroxyl radicals in laboratory-prepared solutions and in various natural and industrial water samples. The sensor is also capable of detecting unknown DNA-damaging agents in industrial waters.
