Evolving a fluorescent light-up aptamer for rotationally quenched asymmetric rhodamines
Abstract
We describe the evolution and characterization of a fluorescent light-up aptamer, RhoBAST G36C , that binds asymmetric, rotationally quenched rhodamines. Binding induces an over 300-fold fluorescence turn-on, which we leveraged for real-time monitoring in vitro transcription reactions and live-cell imaging of tRNA and mRNA in E. coli.
