Self-association of bovine serum albumin (BSA) was explored using fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) between two populations of the protein labeled separately with either fluorescein-5'-isothiocyanate (FITC) or eosin-5'-isothiocyanate (EITC). The energy transfer reached the steady state after 5 s at

Quantitative evaluation of minimal polynucleotide concentrations has become a critical analysis among a myriad of applications found in molecular diagnostic technology. Development of high-throughput, nonenzymatic assays that are sensitive, quantitative and yet feasible for point-of-care testing are thus beneficial for
