Restriction endonucleases play an important role in genetic recombination, molecular cloning, clinical diagnosis, and pharmacological application in drug studies. In the present study, DNA-templated Ag+ nanoclusters (DNA-AgNCs) were used to detect NdeI endonuclease activity due to their facile synthesis, outstanding optical properties, and good biocompatibility. This study monitored fluorescence intensity of DNA-AgNCs to detect NdeI endonuclease activity and its inhibition in the presence of 5-fluorouracil under optimal conditions.
限制内切酶在遗传重组、分子克隆、临床诊断以及药物研究中的药理学应用方面发挥着重要作用。在本研究中,由于其易于合成、出色的光学性质和良好的生物相容性,使用 DNA 模板化 Ag+纳米团簇(DNA-AgNCs)来检测 NdeI 内切酶活性。本研究在最佳条件下,通过监测 DNA-AgNCs 的荧光强度来检测 NdeI 内切酶活性及其在 5-氟尿嘧啶存在下的抑制作用。
