Abstract:
Herein, we have developed a rapid and enzyme-free nucleic acid amplification detection method that combined the exponential self-assembly of four DNA hairpins and the FRET pair Cy3 and Cy5. This strategy was very ingenious and rapid, and could detect nucleic acids at concentrations as low as 10 pM in 15 min in biological fluids.
