We have developed a new molecular beacon for DNA hybridization studies at an interface. Molecular beacons are a new class of oligonucleotides that can report the presence of specific nucleic acids.
Molecular beacons emit an intense fluorescent signal only when hybridized to their target molecules.
It can be immobilized onto a silica surface through biotin-avidin binding. The newly designed molecular beacons are intended for the development of ultrasensitive DNA sensors and for DNA molecular interaction studies at an interface. It is expected that novel protein recognition mechanism will be developed for real time protein monitoring in living cells. This page has been accessed times. Click here for page access statistics.
