Publication number: 20250092458Abstract: Scaffolded chromophores for nucleic acid detection and systems, methods, and uses thereof are provided. Certain embodiments are directed to nucleic acid probes that include a nucleic acid that is complementary to a target sequence. The probe further includes a dye structure linked to a first end of the nucleic acid and includes a non-conjugated polymeric backbone with one or more donor fluorophores linked to the polymeric backbone and one or more acceptor fluorophores linked to the polymeric backbone, where the donor and acceptor fluorophores are in energy transfer relationship. Such probes can further include a quencher attached to a second end of the nucleic acid, where the quencher and one or more acceptor fluorophores are in an energy transfer relationship. Additional embodiments include a second nucleic acid probe including a second nucleic acid that is complementary to a different target sequence.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 30, 2024Publication date: March 20, 2025Inventors: Glenn P.

Publication number: 20240294768Abstract: Water soluble polymeric dyes and polymeric tandem dyes are provided. The polymeric dyes include a water solvated light harvesting multichromophore having a conjugated segment of aryl or heteroaryl co-monomers including branched non-ionic water soluble groups (WSG) comprising two or more water soluble polymers. In some cases, the branched non-ionic water soluble groups (WSG) of the present disclosure are capable of imparting solubility in water in excess of 50 mg/mL to the multichromophore. The polymeric tandem dyes further include a signaling chromophore covalently linked to the multichromophore in energy-receiving proximity therewith. Also provided are aggregation-resistant labelled specific binding members that include the subject water soluble polymeric dyes. Methods of evaluating a sample for the presence of a target analyte and methods of labelling a target molecule in which the subject polymeric dyes find use are also provided. Systems and kits for practicing the subject methods are also provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 4, 2024Publication date: September 5, 2024Inventors: Glenn P. Bartholomew, Yongchao Liang
