Phthalocyanine Dimerization-Based Molecular Beacons Using Near-IR Fluorescence.

The article presents a study that developed a double-labeled dimerization-based molecular beacons (DBMB) which integrate the phthalocyanines (Pc's) of near-infrared (IR) fluorophores. It states that the DBMB creates efficient quenching and signal-to-background (SB) ratio and can be used in live cell...
