Red–white–blue emission switching molecular beacons: ratiometric multicolour DNA hybridization probes

Abstract

Molecular beacons with two fluorophores derived from ethynyl pyrene and ethynyl nile red exhibit red emission in the hairpin that changes to blue through white upon binding to the target sequence with a dramatic shift of ≈225 nm.
