We report herein a luminescent switch-on label-free G-quadruplex-based assay for the rapid and sensitive detection of polymerase proofreading activity using a novel iridium(III) complex as a G-quadruplex-selective probe. The interaction of the iridium(III) complex with the G-quadruplex motif facilitates the highly sensitive switch-on detection of polymerase proofreading activity. Using T4 DNA polymerase (T4 pol) as a model enzyme, the assay achieved high sensitivity and selectivity for T4 pol over other tested enzymes.
我们在此报告了一种基于发光开关的无标签 G-四链体测定法,用于快速灵敏地检测聚合酶校对活性,使用新型铱(III)配合物作为 G-四链体选择性探针。铱(III)配合物与 G-四链体基序的相互作用促进了聚合酶校对活性的高灵敏度开关检测。使用 T4 DNA 聚合酶(T4 pol)作为模型酶,该测定法对 T4 pol 具有高灵敏度和选择性,优于其他测试酶。
