Fluorescence turn-on detection of a protein through the displaced single-stranded DNA bindingprotein binding to a molecular beacon

Abstract

A new approach has been developed for the highly sensitive and selective sensing of a protein. Lysozyme binding to its aptamer prevents SSB protein binding, and the subsequent binding of the free SSBprotein to a molecular beacon results in a turn-on fluorescence signal, which can be used for lysozyme quantification.
