Abstract:Molecular probes for selective identification of biomolecular targets are important to advance our understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying pathological events and for clinical diagnostic of specific diseases. Luminescent conjugated polythiophenes (LCPs) have been utilized as colorimetric and fluorescent sensing elements for the recording of biological processes, such as DNA-hybridization and ligand-receptor interactions. However, LCPs have several limitations for being used as real time in vivo im… Show more
