  • Publication number: 20230272457
    Abstract: Under one aspect, a composition includes a substrate; a first polynucleotide coupled to the substrate; a second polynucleotide hybridized to the first polynucleotide; and a catalyst coupled to a first nucleotide of the second polynucleotide, the catalyst being operable to cause a chemiluminogenic molecule to emit a photon. Under another aspect, a method includes providing a catalyst operable to cause a first chemiluminogenic molecule to emit a photon; providing a substrate; providing a first polynucleotide coupled to the substrate; hybridizing a second polynucleotide to the first polynucleotide; coupling a first quencher to a first nucleotide of the second polynucleotide; and inhibiting, by the first quencher, photon emission by the first chemiluminogenic molecule.

  • Publication number: 20050164182
    Abstract: The invention relates to nucleosides comprising a reporter moiety which also functions to limit polymerase activity, characterised in that the reporter moiety is attached to the nucleoside through a linkage group cleavable by a hydrolase enzyme wherein the hydrolase enzyme is selected from the group consisting of esterases, phosphatases, peptidases, penicillin amidases, glycosidases and phosphorylases.
