Abstract:
Based on the specific folic acid-folate receptor (FA-FR) interaction, macromolecular FR can bind with FA-linked DNA-small molecule chimeras, which can prevent enzymolysis by exonuclease III (Exo III), enabling a novel fluorescence biosensor for FR to be developed using quinaldine red as a G-quadruplex-binding probe.
