Labeling DNA Probes03:31

Labeling DNA Probes

DNA probes are fragments of DNA labeled with a reporter tag to enable their detection or purification. The resulting labeled DNA probes can then hybridize to target nucleic acid sequences through complementary base-pairing, and may be used to recover or identify these regions.
Radioisotopes, fluorophores, or small molecule binding partners like biotin or digoxigenin, are the most widely used reporter tags for labeling DNA probes. These labels can be attached to the probe DNA molecule via...
Photoluminescence: Applications01:14

Photoluminescence: Applications

Photoluminescence offers a wide range of applications due to its inherent sensitivity and selectivity. This technique allows for both direct and indirect analyses of the analyte. Direct quantitative analysis is possible when the analyte exhibits a favorable quantum yield for fluorescence or phosphorescence. However, an indirect analysis may be feasible if the analyte is not fluorescent or phosphorescent, or if the quantum yield is unfavorable. Indirect methods include reacting the analyte with...

  • To enable sensitive and accurate measurement of alkaline phosphatase activity.
  • To provide a tool for both basic research and biotechnological applications.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a rhodamine-based substrate with a "trimethyl lock" mechanism.
  • Utilizing a two-step process where enzymatic cleavage initiates fluorescence.
  • Demonstrating that the enzymatic step is rate-limiting for fluorogenesis.

Main Results:

  • The developed substrate triggers fluorescence upon P-O bond cleavage by alkaline phosphatase.
  • The enzymatic reaction rate limits the overall fluorescence generation.
  • High sensitivity and accuracy in measuring alkaline phosphatase activity were achieved.

Conclusions:
