Abstract
Functional nucleic acids with the capability of generating fluorescence in response to hybridization events, microenvironment or structural changes are valuable as structural probes and chemical sensors. We now demonstrate the enzyme-assisted preparation of nucleic acids possessing multiple thiazole orange (TO) dyes and their fluorescent behavior, that show a spectral change from the typical monomer emission to the excimer-type red-shifted emission. We found that the fluorescent response and emission wavelength of the TO dyes were dependent on both the state of the DNA structure (single- or double-stranded DNA) and the arrangement of the TO dyes. We showed that the fluorescent behavior of the TO dyes can be applied for the detection of RNA molecules, suggesting that our approach for preparing the fluorescent nucleic acids functionalized with multiple TO dyes could be useful to design a fluorescence bioimaging and detection technique of biomolecules.

Abstract
This work reports two new peptide-based fluorescence probes (1 and 2) for the detection of ds-DNA at physiological pH. Probes 1 and 2 contain a fluorophore, either amino-naphthalimide or diethyl-aminocoumarin, respectively, and two identical peptide arms each equipped with a guanidiniocarbonylpyrrole (GCP) anion-binding motif. These probes show "switch-on" fluorescence response upon binding to ds-DNA, whereby they can differentiate between various types of polynucleotides. For instance, they exhibit more pronounced fluorescence response for AT-rich polynucleotides than GC-rich polynucleotides, and both give only negligible response to ds-RNA. The fluorimetric response of 1 is proportional to the AT-basepair content in DNA, whereas the fluorescence of 2 is sensitive to the secondary structure of the polynucleotide. Fluorescence experiments, thermal melting experiments and circular dichroism studies suggest that 1 interacts with ds-DNA in a combined intercalation and minor groove binding, whereas 2 interacts mainly with the outer surface of DNA/RNA. As 1 and 2 have a very low cytotoxicity, 1 can be applied for the imaging of nuclear DNA in cells.

Abstract
An artificial nucleic acid based on acyclic serinol building blocks and termed "serinol nucleic acid" (SNA) was used to construct a fluorescent probe for RNA visualization in cells. The molecular beacon (MB) composed of only SNA with a fluorophore at one terminus and a quencher at the other was resistant to enzymatic digestion, due to its unnatural acyclic scaffold. The SNA-MB could detect its complementary RNA with extremely high sensitivity; the signal-to-background (S/B) ratio was as high as 930 when perylene and anthraquinone were used as the fluorophore and quencher pair. A high S/B ratio was also achieved with SNA-MB tethering the conventional Cy3 fluorophore, and this probe enabled selective visualization of target mRNA in fixed cells. Thus, SNA-MB has potential for use as a biological tool capable of visualizing RNA in living cells.

Abstract
We developed fluorescent turn-on probes containing a fluorescent nucleoside, 5-(benzofuran-2-yl)deoxyuridine (dU(BF)) or 5-(3-methylbenzofuran-2-yl)deoxyuridine (dU(MBF)), for the detection of single-stranded DNA or RNA by utilizing DNA triplex formation. Fluorescence measurements revealed that the probe containing dU(MBF) achieved superior fluorescence enhancement than that containing dU(BF). NMR and fluorescence analyses indicated that the fluorescence intensity increased upon triplex formation partly as a consequence of a conformational change at the bond between the 3-methylbenzofuran and uracil rings. In addition, it is suggested that the microenvironment around the 3-methylbenzofuran ring contributed to the fluorescence enhancement. Further, we developed a method for detecting RNA by rolling circular amplification in combination with triplex-induced fluorescence enhancement of the oligonucleotide probe containing dU(MBF).

Abstract
We prepared reversed dye clusters by hybridizing two RNA oligomers, each of which tethered dyes (Methyl Red, 4'-methylthioazobenzene, and thiazole orange) on D-threoninols (threoninol nucleotides) at the center of their strands. NMR spectroscopic analyses revealed that two dyes from each strand were axially stacked in an antiparallel manner to each other in the duplex, and were located adjacent to the 3'-side of a natural nucleobase. Interestingly, this positional relationship of the dyes was completely the opposite of that assembled in DNA that we reported previously: dyes in DNA were located adjacent to the 5'-side of a natural nucleobase. This observation was also consistent with the circular dichroism of dimerized dyes in which the Cotton effect of the dyes (i.e., the winding properties of two dyes) was inverted in RNA relative to that in DNA. Further spectroscopic analyses revealed that clustering of the dyes on RNA duplexes induced distinct hypsochromicity and narrowing of the band, thus demonstrating that the dyes were axially stacked (i.e., H-aggregates) even on an A-type helix. On the basis of these results, we also prepared heterodimers of a fluorophore (thiazole orange) and quencher (Methyl Red) in an RNA duplex. Fluorescence from thiazole orange was found to be strongly quenched by Methyl Red due to the excitonic interaction, so that the ratio of fluorescent intensities of the RNA-thiazole orange conjugate with and without its complementary strand carrying a quencher became as high as 27. We believe that these RNA-dye conjugates are potentially useful probes for real-time monitoring of RNA interference (RNAi) mechanisms.

Abstract
Add it and see it: The concept of "DNA traffic lights" for wavelength-shifting DNA probes has a great potential in the application of biosensors, for example, in DNA aptamers. A visual color change in the DNA aptasensor fluorescence from green to red occurs after specific target binding.
