The present invention relates to novel fluorophores and their use in combination with novel nucleic acid molecules, called aptamers, that bind specifically to the fluorophore and thereby enhance the fluorescence signal of the fluorophore upon exposure to radiation of suitable wavelength. Molecular complexes formed between the novel fluorophores, novel nucleic acid molecules, and their target molecules are described, and the use of multivalent aptamer constructs as fluorescent sensors for target molecules of interest are also described.
本发明涉及新型荧光物质及其与称为寡核苷酸的新型核酸分子结合使用,这些寡核苷酸能够特异性地结合到荧光物质上,从而在受到适当波长辐射照射时增强荧光物质的荧光信号。描述了新型荧光物质、新型核酸分子及其靶分子形成的分子复合物,还描述了多价寡核苷酸构建物作为感兴趣的靶分子的荧光传感器的使用。
