Detection of deoxyribozyme （DNAzyme） cleavage process usually needs complex and time-consuming radial labeling, gel electrophoresis and autoradiography. This paper reported an approach to detect DNAzyme cleavage process in real time using a fluorescence probe. The probe was employed as DNAzyme substrate to convert directly the cleavage information into fluorescence signal in real time. Compared with traditional approach, this non-isotope method not only brought a convenient means to monitor the DNAzyme cleavage reaction, but also offered abundant dynamic data for choosing potential gene therapeutic agents. It provides a new tool for DNAzyme research, as well as a new insight into research on human disease diagnosis. Based on this method, 8- 17deoxyribozyme （8-17DNAzyme） against hepatitis C virus RNA （HCV-RNA） was designed and the cleavage process was studied in real time. ？2009 Ke Min Wang.

发展了一种基于连接酶介导的诱导荧光共振能量转移技术用于基因点突变的准确快速检测方法.针对特定突变位点设计的核酸探针,当与模板之间完全匹配时,被连接形成一条长的双链,双链特异性嵌入荧光染料SYBR Green I插入新生的双链区域,诱导荧光共振能量转移发生.相反,核酸探针与模板之间不匹配,则不能诱导荧光共振能量转移的出现.利用该方法,成功实现了β地中海贫血遗传病两种普遍存在的点突变Ivs-2-654(C→T)和CD17(A→T)的基因型检测.
