Abstract excerpt
HyBeacons, novel DNA probes for ultra-rapid detection of single nucleotide polymorphisms, contain a fluorophore covalently attached via a linker group to an internal nucleotide. As the probe does not require a quencher or self-complementarity to function, this study investigates the molecular-level mechanism underlying the increase of fluorescence intensity on hybridization of HyBeacons with target DNA....
