Detection of AluI Endonuclease Activity by Using Double Stranded DNA-Templated Copper Nanoclusters

초록

Restriction endonucleases play an important role in molecular cloning, clinical diagnosis, and pharmacological drug studies. In this study, DNA-templated copper nanoclusters (DNA-CuNCs) were used to detect AluI endonuclease activity due to their high fluorescence emission and rapid synthesis of DNA-CuNCs under ambient conditions. Results showed that AluI activity was detected in a highly sensitive manner at low concentrations of AluI endonuclease by the fluorescence intensity of DNA-CuNCs. Additionally, its inhibition was monitored in the presence of daidzein under optimal conditions.
