Dimeric and trimeric nucleic acid dyes, and associated systems and methods are provided. Such a dye may form a hairpin-like structure that enables it to stain nucleic acids via a release-on-demand mechanism, for example. Such a dye may have low background fluorescence in the absence of nucleic acids and high fluorescence in the presence of nucleic acids, upon binding therewith, for example. A dye provided herein may be useful in a variety of applications, such as in DNA quantitation in real-time PCR, for example.
本文提供了二聚和三聚核酸染料以及相关的系统和方法。这种染料可形成发夹状结构,使其能够通过按需释放机制等对核酸进行染色。例如,这种染料与核酸结合后,在没有核酸的情况下可具有低背景荧光,而在有核酸的情况下可具有高荧光。本文提供的染料可用于多种应用,例如实时 PCR 中的 DNA 定量。
