Abstract
Fluorescence anisotropy/polarization is an attractive and versatile technique based on molecular rotation in biochemical/biophysical systems. Traditional fluorescence anisotropy/polarization assays showed relatively low sensitivity for molecule detection, because widespread molecular masses are too small to produce detectable changes in fluorescence anisotropy/polarization value. In this review, we discuss in detail how the potential of fluorescence anisotropy/polarization signal approach considerably expanded through the implementation of mass amplification, recycle the target amplification, fluorescence probes structure-switching amplification, resonance energy transfer amplification, and provide perspectives at future directions and applications.
