Abstract

While NanoCluster Beacon (NCB) is a versatile molecular probe, it suffers from a low target-specific signal issue due to impurities. Here we show that adding a "blocker" strand to the reaction can effectively block the nonfunctional probes and enhance the target-specific signal by 14 fold at a 0.1 target/probe ratio.
