    摘要: Triplex complexes contain a single-stranded probe bound to a double-stranded nucleic acid target, in which the probe includes a heteropolymeric nucleic acid or a heteropolymeric nucleic acid analog. All base triplets of the complex are members selected from the group consisting of A-T-A, T-A-T, U-A-T, T-A-U, A-U-A, U-A-U, G-C-G and C-G-C. A cation-facilitated assay includes detecting the presence of such triplex complexes to determine the degree of complementarity between the probe and target sequence. The assay preferably detects a change in fluorescent intensity of a label as a function of binding affinity between the probe and target. The label can be covalently tethered to the probe or to the target, or can be an intercalating fluorophore in the reaction medium.

    摘要: A method for assaying specific binding between a fluorophore-labeled probe and an unlabeled target is provided. The method includes detecting a quenching effect on fluorescence emitted by the fluorophore-labeled probe resulting from binding. The method is conducted without separating complexes of the target and probe from the free target and free probe prior to quenching effect detecting, and without providing a signal quenching agent to quench fluorescent light. Preferably, the probe and target are amino acid-containing compounds, such as proteins. The method can be used for a variety of applications, including screening for drug candidates having optimum binding properties, and quantifying and classifying the binding characteristics between peptide-containing compounds. The method is more sensitive than conventional assays, enabling the analysis of minute samples and low affinity binding interactions between receptors and ligands that are below the detection limits of conventional technology.

    摘要: A multiplex structure, such as a nucleic acid quadruplex, includes: a first strand containing a first sequence of nucleobases; a second strand containing a second sequence of nucleobases, wherein the second strand is associated with the first strand by Watson-Crick bonding; a third strand containing a third sequence of nucleobases; and a fourth strand containing a fourth sequence of nucleobases, wherein the fourth strand is associated with the second strand and the third strand by Watson-Crick bonding. Formation of the multiplex structure is promoted by monovalent cations (e.g., sodium and potassium), divalent cations, multivalent cations, intercalating agents and/or molecules known to bind within the minor grooves of nucleic acids. The multiplex structure and the process of forming it have diagnostic, therapeutic, prophylactic and nanoengineering applications.

    摘要: The invention provides homogeneous assay methods for nucleic acid hybridization, detection and evaluation. The assay includes obtaining signals from a test sample both before and during the application of a voltage to the test sample and correlating the signals, each of which is indicative of the binding affinity of the probe and the target to each other. The assay enables determining an extent of matching between the probe and the target, as the voltage can be calibrated so as to destabilize significantly any hybridization except perfectly complementary hybridization. The signals whose magnitude is correlated with binding affinity can be electrical conductance and/or fluorescent intensity. Preferably, both signal pairs are measured and compared so as to enhance the reliability of the assay. The assay can detect specific hybridization between single-stranded probes and non-denatured double-stranded targets to form triplexes, thus obviating the need to denature the targets. The assay methods can also be applied to duplex hybridization complexes.

    摘要: An assay includes catalytic hybridization of targets and cleavable probes to form triplexes and quadruplexes based on Watson-Crick bonding rules. The probes contain scissile linkages that are cleaved by enzymes when hybridized to a target, yielding detectable probe fragments free of the target. The target is recycled to help catalyze the cleavage of additional intact probes to form additional detectable probe fragments, thus amplifying the signal.
