Biomolecular computation with molecular beacons for quantitative analysis of target nucleic acids
Molecular beacons are efficient and useful tools for quantitative detection of specific target nucleic acids. Thanks to their simple protocol, molecular beacons have great potential as substrates for biomolecular computing. Here we present a molecular beacon-based biomolecular computing method for quantitative detection and analysis of target nucleic acids. Whereas the conventional quantitative...
متن کاملMolecular beacons: colorful analysis of nucleic acids.
The completion of the Humane Genome Project has resulted in an exponential rise in the demand for molecular diagnostic assays. To meet this demand, several innovative technologies have become available for performing homogeneous genetic analyses. For this type of assay, special detector probes are necessary. In 1996, Tyagi and Kramer described fluorogenic hairpin-shaped detector probes, called ...
متن کاملPyrene excimer signaling molecular beacons for probing nucleic acids.
Molecular beacon DNA probes, containing 1-4 pyrene monomers on the 5' end and the quencher DABCYL on the 3' end, were engineered and employed for real-time probing of DNA sequences. In the absence of a target sequence, the multiple-pyrene labeled molecular beacons (MBs) assumed a stem-closed conformation resulting in quenching of the pyrene excimer fluorescence. In the presence of target, the b...
متن کاملLocked nucleic acid molecular beacons.
A novel LNA-MB (molecular beacon based on locked nucleic acid bases) has been designed and investigated. It exhibits very high melting temperature and is thermally stable, shows superior single base mismatch discrimination capability, and is stable against digestion by nuclease and has no binding with single-stranded DNA binding proteins. The LNA-MB will be widely useful in a variety of areas, ...
متن کاملMolecular Beacons of Xeno-Nucleic Acid for Detecting Nucleic Acid
Molecular beacons (MBs) of DNA and RNA have aroused increasing interest because they allow a continuous readout, excellent spatial and temporal resolution to observe in real time. This kind of dual-labeled oligonucleotide probes can differentiate between bound and unbound DNA/RNA in homogenous hybridization with a high signal-to-background ratio in living cells. This review briefly summarizes t...
