Introduction
TO3-PEG3-Biotin is a unique fluorogenic RNA probe. TO3-PEG3-Biotin forms a specific tight binding with the RNA Mango I Aptamer (KD ≈ 5 nM), and results in strong fluorescence enhancement (~35X) when bound to the Mango I apatmer. This unique feature makes TO3-PEG3-Biotin as useful probe in RNA tracking and visulization. This probe is provided as 250 µM solution in DMSO.
Features:
-
Permeability to cell plasma and nuclear membranes.
-
Low toxicity to cells.
-
High molar absorptivity, with extinction coefficients >65,000 cm-1 M-1 at visible absorption maxima.
-
Extremely low intrinsic fluorescence, with quantum yields typically <0.01 when unbound.
-
Quantum yield increases to 0.1 when bound to Mango I Aptamer.
