Parallel multispot detection of target hybridization to surface-bound probe oligonucleotides of different base mismatch by surface-plasmon field-enhanced fluorescence microscopy
We introduce surface-plasmon field-enhanced fluorescence microscopy for the on-line determination of hybridization reactions between targets from solution to complementary probe oligonucleotides which are surface-bound to a sensor substrate in a matrix format. This way, the parallel and real-time detection of the association and dissociation kinetics (rate constants) of hybrids of different mismatch situations can be quantitatively analyzed.
