Guanosine penta- or tetraphosphate (pppGpp or ppGpp, respectively) is a nucleotide signalling molecule with a marked effect on bacterial physiology during stress. Its accumulation slows down cell metabolism and replication, supposedly leading to the formation of the antibiotic-tolerant persister phenotype. A specifically tailored fluorescent chemosensor, PyDPA, allows the detection of (p)ppGpp in solution

Derivatives of isomeric 2-(hydroxytolyl)-4,6-dimethylamino-1,3,5-triazines have been synthesized in high yields in a controlled manner using a multistep reaction sequence. Iodination of either 2-(1'-hydroxy-6'-methylphen-2'-yl)- or 2-(1'-hydroxy-4'-methylphen-2'-yl)-4,6-dimethylamino-1,3,5-triazine with ICl provides species differing in the positioning of the iodo group relative to the hydroxyl which readily undergo Suzuki, Sonogashira, and Heck reactions under Pd(0) catalysis. Thus, thienyl, bisthienyl, and 3,4-ethylenedioxythienyl groups have been directly grafted, while unsubstituted polycyclic aromatics such as pyrene and perylene have been linked via alkyne bridges, as have ethynyldifluoroborondipyrromethane (BODIPY) dyes prepared in situ. The presence of a hydrogen bond in the ground state involving the hydroxyl substituent has been established by proton NMR and several X-ray structure determinations. All of the new dyes with a simple substituent (phenyl, thienyl) exhibited a pronounced green fluorescence resulting from an intramolecular proton transfer:in:the excited state (ESIPT) which produces a large Stokes shift (> 10 000 cm(-1)). With other dyes, the fluorescence of the keto form responsible for the ESIPT process could be used as the.input energy in efficient intramolecular energy transfer processes. Replacing perylene with pyrene allowed reversal of the direction of energy transfer from the polyaromatic module to the keto form.

Disclosed embodiments concern a probe comprising one or more pairs of monomers capable of targeting a nucleic acid target. The pair of monomers may be arranged in a manner that promotes thermoinstability of the probe complex, thus producing a probe capable of locating and/or detecting a target. The probe also may comprise one or more natural or non-natural nucleotides capable of Watson-Crick base pairing with an isosequential nucleic acid target. Particular disclosed embodiments concern a method of using the disclosed probe to target nucleic acids. In particular disclosed embodiments, the probe may be incubated with a target nucleic acid and then be detected.
