Triplex, molecular beacon

Grossmaim, T. N. Roglin, L. Seitz, O. Triplex molecular beacons as modular probes for DNA detection. Angew. Chem., Int. Ed. Engl. 2007,46, 5223-5225. 

There are a few new developments in molecular beacons. Antony et al have studied the effects of various polyamines on the stabilisation of triplexes using a molecular beacon strategy. Using the purine-pyrimidine-rich promoter site sequence of cyclin Dl, an 18-mer G-rich molecular beacon TFO was used, and...
