Another Quenching Method-Static Quenching- 2004. 4. 20 Lim Hee Woong
Quenching • Dynamic Quenching • In the excited state • Förster quenching • Falling off at a rate of 1/R6 • Dexter quenching • Depends on the spatial overlap of orbitals • Static Quenching • In the ground state
Different from FRET in that… • No excitation and intramolecular dimer • Donor and quencher moieties bind together to form ground state complex • Stemless molecular beacon • Depends on the overlap of absorption spectra • FRET depends on the overlap of absorption and emission spectra
Experimental Result • Fluorophore and quencher • Cy3.5, FAM • BHQ1 (Black hole quencher 1)
Dual labeld Fluorophore Only BHQ only(unscaled)
Dual labeled Fluorophore Only BHQ only (unscaled) • Absorption spectra of the probes • More overlap of absorption spectra in Cy3.5 • Not equal with the sum of each spectrum
Dual labeled Fluorophore Only • Fluorescence spectra of the probes • Fluorescence spectra changed though BHQ is dark quencher. • More quenching in Cy3.5 in despite of less overlap of absorption and emission spectra • More overlap of absorption spectra
Relation between fluorescence and concentration • Linear relationship • Intra rather intermolecular quenching
Some other results… • See reference
Discussion • Advantage • No need to consider stem loop • No constraint in emission-absorption spectral overlap • Make it easy to design probe • But! • Thermal stability of fluorophore-quencher ground state complex • Most likely to be significant only in room temperature.
Application to Current Project • Probe with intramolecular dimer • In the weighted encoding method with FRET • No need to eliminate unbound probe • Consideration • Annealing temperature? • Appropriate pairs of fluorophore and quencher? • Enough Förster distance?
