Abstract:
1. A structure comprising one conformationally flexible conjugated polymer bound to or associated with at least one member of a binding pair comprising one sensor molecule and a target molecule or the complex they form, wherein the polymer comprises at least one angled linker having bonds to its two adjacent polymeric units which form an angle of less than about 155° with respect to one another; wherein the sensor molecule is a polynucleotide, an antibody, a peptide, or a protein; and wherein the polymer is a compound of Formula A wherein: b, c and f are 0, such that LU R A, B, C and D are each independently selected from H, —SiR′R″R′″, —N R′, R″ and R′″ are independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, C m and n are independently 0 to about 10,000, wherein n>1; e is 1 to about 250; a and d are independently 0 to about 250; and G and G
