Moscow, Jan. 26 -- Russian scientists have developed a unique electrochemical DNA sensor capable of assessing the effectiveness of natural antioxidants in popular beverages in protecting DNA from damage.

The innovative technology has been created by researchers at the AM Butlerov Institute of Chemistry of Kazan Federal University (KFU) and has been reported on the website of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of Russia, as reported by TV BRICS.

The newly developed biosensor enables scientists to analyse the antioxidant activity of beverages such as coffee, tea, wine and fruit juices by evaluating their ability to prevent oxidative damage to DNA. According to the researchers, this approach offers a more biologically relevant as...
