| 摘要 |
The present invention provides novel biophotonic sensors that have molecular recognition with high sensitivity for target molecules. In one embodiment, the biophotonic sensors have capture moieties with high specificity for molecules of interest (target molecules) and biophotonic conjugates. The biophotonic conjugates exhibit a characteristic photonic activity only when a target molecule is bound. This characteristic photonic activity may include, but is not limited to, either a qualitative response or a measurable change in photonic characteristics upon interaction of the sensors with the target molecules. Methods are also provided for use of the biophotonic sensors to detect molecules of interest either in vitro , in vivo , or in situ . |
