摘要:
The invention relates to the use of conjugates of nucleic acid tag molecules and nucleic acid binding agents for labeling polymers such as nucleic acid molecules. The nucleic acid binding agents for labeling polymers such as nucleic acid molecules. The nucleic acid binding agents are nucleic acid binding enzymes that bind nucleic acid molecules non-specifically, in some embodiments. The conjugate can be formed by directly or indirectly binding the nucleic acid tag molecules to the nucleic acid binding agents. The invention provides conjugate compositions as well as methods and systems for using the conjugates to label and analyze polymers such as nucleic acid molecules.
摘要:
In a method and apparatus for determining the velocity of an elongated polymeric molecule, the molecule (105) is moved relative to one or more detection stations (101,.102, 103). Time correlated detection signals are used to determine velocity, length, and distance between landmarks on the molecule (105).

摘要:
A detection system and methods for improving the ability of the detection system to recognize labels that are disposed on a polymer. Embodiments of the invention include schemes for selecting emitters and labels used within the system in a manner that allows an increase in the number of distinct labels that can be used together in a system. In other embodiments, the detection system and methods are directed to identifying portions of a detection signal that may be associated with extra labels residing within a detection zone. In other embodiments, the detection system and methods relate to using wide field imaging detectors while reducing out of focus noise contributions to detection signals of the system. Still, other embodiments relate to the use of linear array detectors to detect labels.
摘要:
The invention relates to compositions and methods for detecting proteins and their interactions with other molecules, including measuring affinity and kinetic constants. The method employs two or more protein-specific probes labeled with detectable labels such as fluorophores that are distinguishable from each other. Binding of the probes to the target protein is detected as temporally coincident signals, such that binding of multiple probes to a single target protein indicates that the protein is present in a sample.
