Abstract

We developed a new DNA probe by utilizing the coordination interaction of Zn2+ with DNA and the consequent emission. Because the coordination interactions do not depend on the length of the DNA, the new probe exhibited much higher sensitivity for the detection of short ssDNA than the corresponding probe based on electrostatic interactions.
