Abstract:
Three different types of fluorescence detection methods were employed to monitor amplification of a previously established isothermal cooperatively coupled amplification system as it can serve as a tool for the investigation of fundamental issues in evolutionary optimization. By using 5'IRD-41 fluorescent labeled primers, the intercalating dye TOPRO-1 and a 5'fluorescin/3'DABCYL 4-(4-dimethylamino-phenylazo)benzoic acid labeled ss 24 nt DNA, evolving molecular cooperation is accessible, sequence specifically as well as non-sequence-specifically without using radioactivity.
