Popis: This study developed a thymine-based molecular beacon (MB), which can be used for screening triplex DNA binders and quantifying coralyne and sanguinarine. Triplex DNA binder triggered the formation of triple-stranded DNA between MB and 7-repeat adenosine (A7), switching off the fluorescence of MB. Based on the use of triplex DNA binder and A7 as inputs and the fluorescence change of MB as the output, the NAND gate was constructed to discriminate triplex DNA binders from duplex DNA binders.
