We report the fluorogenic detection of the product of base excision repair (an abasic site) in a specific sequence of duplex DNA. This is achieved by DNA-templated chemistry, employing triple helix-forming probes that contain unnatural nucleobases designed to selectively recognize the site of a missing base. Light-up signals of up to 36-fold were documented, and probes could be used to monitor enzymatic removal of a damaged base.
我们报告了在双链 DNA 的特定序列中碱基切除修复(无碱基位点)产物的荧光检测。这是通过 DNA 模板化学实现的,使用了包含非天然碱基的三链形成探针,这些探针旨在选择性地识别缺失碱基的位点。记录到高达 36 倍的点亮信号,并且可以使用探针来监测酶去除受损碱基。
