Journal ArticleDOI
Bionanotechnology based on silica nanoparticles
Weihong Tan,Kemin Wang,Kemin Wang,Xiaoxiao He,Xiaojun Julia Zhao,Timothy J. Drake,Lin Wang,Rahul P. Bagwe +7 more
TL;DR: Uniform core/shell nanoparticles, consisting of a silica layer coating and pigments or magnetite core, using a water‐in‐oil microemulsion method, are developed, highly luminescent and photostable with the size ranging from 5 nm to 400 nm.
Journal ArticleDOI
Simultaneous Monitoring of the Expression of Multiple Genes Inside of Single Breast Carcinoma Cells
TL;DR: By microinjecting multiple molecular beacons with different fluorophores inside of single breast carcinoma cells and monitoring with advanced fluorescent microscopy, the expression of multiple genes can be simultaneously monitored inside single living cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular beacons for bioanalytical applications
Li Tan,Ying Li,Timothy J. Drake,Leonid L. Moroz,Kemin Wang,Jun Li,Alina Munteanu,Chaoyong James Yang,Karen Martinez,Weihong Tan +9 more
TL;DR: The principles ofMBs are outlined and recent bioanalytical applications of these probes for in vitro RNA and DNA monitoring, biosensors and biochips, real-time monitoring of genes and gene expression in living systems, as well as the next generation of MBs for studies on proteins, the MB aptamers are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Investigation of molecular beacon aptamer-based bioassay for platelet-derived growth factor detection.
TL;DR: Interestingly, it is observed that, with a DNA ligand with multiple binding sites for a standard multimeric protein target, the FRET bioassay could be accomplished by using a mixture of two individually labeled DNAs—one carrying the fluorophore and the other with the matching quencher.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular Beacon DNA Probes and Their Bioanalytical Applications
Timothy J. Drake,Weihong Tan +1 more
TL;DR: In the post-genomic and proteomic era, a continued demand still exists for biomolecular recognition probes with high sensitivity and selectivity for use in quantitative studies of genomic and proteomics information.
