Abstract
(Chemical Equation Presented) Antibodies as light switches: The deoxy-nucleotide analogue-stilbene conjugate 1 can be incorporated into nascent DNA by DNA polymerase activity. The blue fluorescence of stilbene is detected only upon binding of an antibody that specifically recognizes the stilbene-modified nucleotide. Therefore, DNA generated through PCR with 1 in the substrate pool can be used for hybridization assays in which detection is triggered by the antibody (see scheme).
