Among the diverse nucleic acid probes, molecular beacons (MBs) have shown their excellent potential in a variety of basic researches and practical applications. Their excellent selectivity, sensitivity, and detection without separation have led them to be particularly useful in real-time intracellular monitoring of gene expression, development of biosensors, and clinical diagnostics. This paper will focus on the properties of various MBs and discuss their potential applications.
在各种核酸探针中,分子信标(MBs)在多种基础研究和实际应用中展现出了卓越的潜力。它们出色的选择性、灵敏度以及无需分离的检测方式,使其在基因表达的实时细胞内监测、生物传感器的开发以及临床诊断中特别有用。本文将聚焦于各种分子信标的特性,并探讨它们的潜在应用。
