A fluorescent exciplex of thiazole orange (TO) is formed in a single-dye conjugated DNA i-motif. The exciplex fluorescence exhibits a large Stokes shift, high quantum yield, robust response to pH oscillation and little structural disturbance to the DNA quadruplex, which can be used to monitor the folding of high-order DNA structures.
在单染料共轭的DNA i-基序中形成了噻唑橙(TO)的荧光激基复合物。该激基复合物荧光具有大斯托克斯位移、高量子产率、对pH振荡的稳健响应以及对DNA四链体的结构干扰小等特点,可用于监测高阶DNA结构的折叠。
