Rapid Detection of Point Mutations by Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer and Probe Melting Curves in Candida Species
1 May 2000
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The LightCycler(TM) combines rapid amplification of nucleic acids in glass capillaries with melting curve analysis based on fluorescence resonance energy transfer for the sensitive detection of point mutations in various settings, such as drug resistance and hereditary diseases. Point mutations leading to an altered structure of lanosteroldemethylase, the target enzyme of the fungistatic azoles, are...
