Here we describe a highly selective DNA-based electrochemical sensor that utilizes steric hindrance effects to signal the presence of large macromolecules in a single-step procedure. We first show that a large macromolecule, such as a protein, when bound to a signaling DNA strand generates steric hindrance effects, which limits the ability of this DNA to hybridize to a surface-attached complementary strand. We demonstrate that the efficiency of hybridization of this signaling DNA is inversely correlated with the size of the molecule attached to it, following a semilogarithmic relationship. Using this steric hindrance hybridization assay in an electrochemical format (eSHHA), we demonstrate the multiplexed, quantitative, one-step detection of various macromolecules in the low nanomolar range, in
