摘要
Single-stranded DNA with G-rich sequences can fold into secondary structures, G-quadruplexes, via intramolecular hydrogen-bonding interactions. This conformational change can be detected by a homogeneous assay method based on fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) from a water-soluble cationic conjugated polymer (CCP) to a fluorescein chromophore labeled at the terminus of the G-quadruplex DNA. The space charge density around the DNA controls the efficiency of FRET from the CCP to the fluorescein. The higher FRET efficiency for the CCP/G-quadruplex pair is correlated to the stronger electrostatic interactions between the more condensed G-quadruplex and the CCP in comparison to the CCP/ssDNA pair. Since the potassium ion can specifically bind to the G-quadruplex DNA, the G-quartet-DNA/CCPs assembly can also be used as a platform to sense the potassium ion in water with high selectivity and sensitivity.
