OPTICAL PROBE FOR THROMBIN

摘要

Optical probes are presented, the probes comprising a first probe element, and a second probe element connected to a core. The first probe element comprises a first fluorophore connected to a first quencher by a first cleavable linker. The second probe element comprises a second fluorophore connected to a second quencher by a second cleavable linker. The first fluorophore is separated from the first quencher when the first cleavable linker is cleaved, and the second fluorophore is separated from the second quencher when the second cleavable linker is cleaved. Methods of detecting a first and second enzyme using the optical probe are also presented.
