Labeling DNA Probes

7.7K
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...

  • Biophysical Chemistry

Background:

  • G-quadruplex (G4) structures are crucial in biological processes.
  • Developing selective fluorescent probes for diverse G4 structures remains a significant challenge.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To create a novel fluorescent sensor with high selectivity for specific G-quadruplex structures.
