Abstract

The desirable properties of the sophisticated fluorescent pH probe are ratiometric detection properties and a wide detection range. In this study, three types of fluorophores with different fluorescence properties were assembled on a DNA origami nanostructure. DNA nanostructure has the advantage of being a scaffold that can assemble different types of fluorophores with control over their number and position. The defined number of three different fluorophores, i.e., pH-sensitive fluorescein (CF) and Oregon Green (OG), and pH-insensitive tetramethylrhodamine (CR), assembled on the DNA scaffold provided a ratiometric fluorescent pH probe with a wide pH detection range that could cover the variation of intracellular pH.
