<p>Aptamer based fluorescent reporters that function based on a switch from DNA/DNA duplex conformation to DNA/target conformation are provided. The DNA/DNA duplex is formed between the aptamer DNA sequence and an oligonucleotide carrying a reporter moiety. When the aptamer target is present, the aptamer assumes a tertiary structure for binding to the target. The formation of the tertiary structure forces the dissociation of the duplex structure and a signal is generated. The signal is preferably a fluorescent signal due to spatial separation of a fluorophore/quencher pair.</p> |
