Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Methods, compositions and articles of manufacture for assaying a sample for a target polynucleotide are provided. A sample suspected of containing the target polynucleotide is contacted with a polycationic multichromophore and a sensor PBP that can bind to the target polynucleotide. The sensor PBP comprises a signaling chromophore to absorb energy from the excited multichromophore and emit light in the presence of the target polynucleotide. The methods can be used in multiplex form. Kits comprising reagents for performing such methods are also provided.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of assaying a sample for the presence of a target polynucleotide that binds to a polynucleotide binding protein selected from the group consisting of Tat, matrix protein M1, and hnRNP U, the method comprising: (a) contacting the sample with: (i) a sensor polynucleotide binding protein (sensor PBP) that comprises a polynucleotide binding protein selected from the group consisting of Tat, matrix protein M1, and hnRNP U linked to a signaling chromopho…
