Labeling DNA Probes03:31

Labeling DNA Probes

9.7K
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...

Protein Dynamics in Living Cells

2.8K
Different fluorescence-based techniques are used to study the protein dynamics in living cells. These techniques include FRAP, FRET, and PET.
Fluorescent recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) is a fluorescent-protein-based detection technique used to quantify protein movement rates within the cell. This method exposes a small portion of the cell to an intense laser beam. The laser beam causes permanent photobleaching of the fluorophore-tagged proteins in the exposed region. As the bleached...

  • Lithographic patterning.

Main Results:

  • The synthesized biotin derivatives exhibit aggregation-induced emission (AIE) with emission peaks at ~430 and 545 nm.
  • Solvatochromism and π-π stacking interactions were identified as key factors influencing photophysical behavior.
  • TD-DFT calculations correlated spectroscopic data and quantified electronic transitions.
  • ITC data confirmed strong binding interactions between biotin derivatives and avidin.
