Detection of asymmetric PCR products in homogeneous solution by fluorescence correlation spectroscopy.
The yield of the double-stranded DNA product (500 bp) of asymmetric PCR with a rhodamine-labeled primer (Rho-primer) was determined in a homogeneous solution using fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS). FCS provides the average number of molecules in a focused volume and the diffusion constant that relates the molecular weight. Since FCS measures the fluctuation of fluorescence intensity ...
متن کاملFLUCTUATION CORRELATION SPECTROSCOPY IN CELLS: Determination of molecular aggregation
Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy (FCS) was first introduced by Elson, Madge and Webb (1-5) for studying the binding process between ethydium bromide and DNA. When the ethydium dye binds to DNA its fluorescence quantum yield changes by a large factor. It is essentially not fluorescent when free in solution and it becomes strongly fluorescent when bound to double strand DNA. Although the pro...
متن کاملBiological and chemical applications of fluorescence correlation spectroscopy: a review.
The mathematical concept of fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS)1 (1) emerged from quasi-elastic light scattering (QELS) spectroscopy (2) in the early 1970s. Compared to light scattering, the enhanced sensitivity of fluorescence to changes in molecular structure, chemistry, and local environment makes FCS a superior analytical tool for chemical kinetics studies (1, 3-5). The primary moti...
متن کاملQuantum yield determination by low-intensity Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy (liFCS)
Fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) is a method based on the correlation analysis of the temporal behaviour of fluorescence intensity fluctuations. It is commonly used to determine diffusion coefficients and concentrations of samples in the (sub)nano-molar concentration regime. Another quantity made accessible by FCS is the mean number of detected fluorescence photons per molecule and t...
متن کاملCell Cycle-Dependent Mobility of Cdc45 Determined in vivo by Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy
Eukaryotic DNA replication is a dynamic process requiring the co-operation of specific replication proteins. We measured the mobility of eGFP-Cdc45 by Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy (FCS) in vivo in asynchronous cells and in cells synchronized at the G1/S transition and during S phase. Our data show that eGFP-Cdc45 mobility is faster in G1/S transition compared to S phase suggesting that...
