DMA mismatch detection by resonance energy transfer between ruthenium(II) and osmium(II) tris(2,2′-bipyridyl) chromophores
Octahedral tris-chelate complexes [M II(bpy) 3] 2+ (M = Ru or Os, bpy = 2,2′-bipyridyl), covalently attached to the 3′- and 5′phosphates of two oligonucleotides, are juxtaposed when hybridized contiguously to a fully complementary DMA target. Visible metal-to-ligand charge-transfer (MLCT) excitation...
