Background And Objective: Sensitivity is very important in DNA detection. Various attempts have been made to increase detection sensitivity, including increasing the detection capabilities of devices and using DNA probes. This study was aimed to develop a DNA detection method using a quencher-free molecular beacon (QFMB) probe with the help of graphene oxide (GO) as a quencher.
Materials And Methods: The GO has the specific ability to adsorb DNA in the form of a single strand but not in a double strand. The optimum interaction between the MB probe and the target DNA (pig DNA) could produce a double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) so that it is detached from the GO surface. The dsDNA that escapes from the surface of the GO can be detected using a spectrofluorometric technique at an excitation wavelength of 482 nm and an emission of 519 nm, with an intensity comparable to its concentration.
Results: The optimum condition that can be used is a GO concentration of 5 μg mL-1, a reaction temperature of 65°C, an incubation time of 6 min, a reaction pH of 7.5 and cation levels of 40 nM. Analysis of the target pork meatball DNA carried out at a concentration interval of 0-500 pg mL-1.
Conclusion: So it was concluded that the DNA detection system uses a combination of a quencher-free molecular beacon and graphene oxide, providing a good prospect to be developed into a new method in the halal authentication of meat products using the spectrofluorometric method.

Rapid, sensitive, and specific nucleic acid detection methods play crucial roles in clinical diagnostics and healthcare. Here, we report a novel amphiphilic DNA fluorescence probe for CRISPR-based nucleic acid detection. Unlike conventional fluorophore-quencher probe detection system, our amphiphilic DNA fluorescence probe features a hydrophobic Cy5 fluorophore head and a hydrophilic single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) tail.

The ProSNA architecture enables analyte detection via the highly programmable nucleic acid shell or a functional protein core. As a proof-of-concept, we use an i-motif as the nucleic acid recognition element to probe pH in living cells.

Circulating miRNAs are a newly emerging class of noninvasive biomarkers, and the accurate quantification of their expression is essential to the biological research and early clinic diagnosis. Herein, we demonstrate the construction of a quencher-free cascade amplification system for highly sensitive detection of serum circulating miRNAs. The target miRNA can hybridize with the linear probe to induce the cyclic strand displacement amplification (SDA) (cycle I) for the production of the binding probes.

With the goal of developing a quencher-free probe composed of an artificial nucleic acid, the fluorescent nucleobase analogue 5-(perylenylethynyl)uracil ( U), which was incorporated into totally artificial serinol nucleic acid (SNA) as a substitute for thymine, has been synthesized. In the context of a 12-mer duplex with RNA, these fluorophores reduce duplex stability slightly compared with that of an SNA without U modification; thus suggesting that structural distortion is not induced by the modification. If two Us were incorporated at separate positions in an SNA, the fluorescent emission at λ≈490 nm was clearly enhanced upon hybridization with complementary RNA.
