This invention relates to luminescent markers for in vitro diagnostic applications, and kits using those markers. In some embodiments, those markers comprise luminescent carbon nanoparticles. Some embodiments provide a method for investigating an analyte comprising correlating a marker to the analyte and observing the luminescence from the marker, wherein the marker comprises a nanoparticle having a carbon core. In vitro kits, including those employing a marker comprising a nanoparticle having a carbon core, are also provided.
de) conjugates through cycloaddition of anthracenes. Anthracene–DNA conjugates were synthesized by linking the 5′- or 3′-end of ODNs to the anthracene group. The sequences of the conjugates were designed to hybridize to neighboring sites on the target ODN with their anthracene units facing each other. When the ternary duplex consisting of the two conjugates and the target forms, the conjugates can
