An excitonic interaction caused by the H-aggregation of fluorescent dyes is a new type of
useful photophysical process for fluorescence-controlled nucleic acid sensing. This critical …

Although biological imaging is mostly performed in aqueous media, it is hardly ever
considered that water acts as a classic fluorescence quencher for organic fluorophores. By …

With the advent of a new decade and the paradigm shift of every sphere of urban life to
virtual platforms, it has become imperative for the global researcher community to …

The synthesis of functionalized siloles has been a challenge because of the incompatibility
of polar functional groups with the reactive intermediates in the conventional protocols for …

Biosensing processes such as molecular beacons require non‐trivial effort to covalently
label or mark biomolecules. We report here a label‐free DNA assay system with a simple …

Unsymmetrical cyanine dyes are widely used in biomolecular detection due to their
fluorogenic behavior, whereby fluorescence quantum yields can be very low in fluid solution …

Estimating the orientation and 3D position of rotationally constrained emitters with
localization microscopy typically requires polarization splitting or a large engineered Point …

Whereas most conventional DNA probes are flat disklike aromatic molecules, we explored
the possibility of developing quadruplex sensors with nonplanar conformations, in particular …

A new fluorogenic cyanine dye was synthesized and found to have low fluorescence
quantum yield in fluid solution and in the presence of double-stranded DNA but 80-fold …

Fluorophores with high quantum yields are desired for a variety of applications. Optimization
of promising chromophores requires an understanding of the non-radiative decay channels …
