| | Cationic Polythiophene for Label-Free, Colorimetric and Fluorometric Detection of DNA | | Authors: | H.-A. Ho and M. Leclerc | | Affilation: | Université Laval, CA | | Pages: | 371 - 373 | | Keywords: | conducting polymer, DNA detection, electrostatic interaction | | Abstract: | In order to respond to new demands and needs in modern medical diagnostics and biomedical research applications, a lot of new DNA detection approaches have been reported. However, most of these methods have the disadvantage of requiring the chemical coupling of a photoactive or electroactive tagging agent onto the target or the probe prior to detection. Some oligonucleotide-functionalized conjugated polymers have enabled the transduction of hybridization events, without labeling of the DNA target. Here we describe the use of a water-soluble, cationic polythiophene that can specifically transduce the binding of an appropriate oligonucleotide to its target into a clear optical (colorimetric or fluorometric) signal. This simple, rapid, sensitive and selective methodology does not require any chemical modification on the probes or targets. | | ISBN: | 0-9767985-0-6 |
