Abstract

Hemin/G-quadruplex catalyzes the H2O2-mediated oxidation of Amplex Red to the fluorescent product resorufin. This process is implemented to develop hairpin nucleic acid structures for the detection of DNA, to probe the catalytic activity of glucose oxidase, to use the thrombin-aptamer complex as a catalytic readout structure, and to quantitatively analyze telomere chain composition.
