以核酸适体为识别分子,阳离子荧光共轭聚合物为报告分子,建立了一种蛋白质检测新方法.修饰有荧光熄灭基团的核酸适体探针通过静电作用与阳离子荧光共轭聚合物结合,导致后者荧光熄灭.当加入靶蛋白后,核酸适体探针与其特异性结合,荧光熄灭基团与阳离子荧光共轭聚合物远离,聚合物荧光信号得以恢复.实验结果表明,荧光恢复程度与靶蛋白的浓度正相关.采用该方法检测凝血酶的线性范围为1.7~40nmol/L.
A novel fluorescence-based method for protein detection was developed based on aptamer probe as the recognized molecule and cationic conjugated polymers(CCP) as the reporter. The quencher-labeled aptamer probe attached to CCP by electrostatic interaction, leading to fluorescence quenching of CCP. When target protein was added, it bonded specifically to aptamer probe, which made the quencher detached from CCP. Then the fluorescence of CCP was resumed. The results show that the fluorescence resuming ratio is proportional to the concentration of target protein. The detection method for thrombin had a linear range of 1.7-40 nmol/L.
