A molecular light switch Ru complex and quantum dots for the label-free, aptamer-based detection of thrombin

Abstract

A simple, label-free method for the detection of thrombin has been developed based on the conformational transition of aptamer in the presence of the target by using a molecular light switch, Ru polypyridine complex, and quantum dots as novel fluorescence probes in aqueous solution.
