NUCLEOTIDE-BASED PROBES AND METHODS FOR THE DETECTION AND QUANTIFICATION OF MACROMOLECULES AND OTHER ANALYTES

摘要

Provided are unimolecular oligonucleotide probes for detecting a target in a sample. The probes use target binding-induced structural changes to detect the presence of the target in the sample. Also provided are methods of using the probes to detect a target in a sample.
