Abstract excerpt
A method for the accurate determination of the melting temperature (T(m)) of surface-immobilized DNA duplexes that exploits the fluorescence-quenching properties of gold is reported. A thiolated single-stranded DNA probe is chemisorbed onto a gold surface and then hybridized to a fluorophore-labeled complementary sequence. On formation of the duplex, the fluorescence of the label is effectively quenched by the...
