Abstract
The present invention relates to a hybridization probe having a rod-shaped boby and nucleic acid which is bonded to the rod-shape material and specifically bonds to a target nucleic acid and also relates to a target nucleic detecting kit, a target nucleic acid detecting apparatus and a target nucleic acid detecting method using the same.
Claims11
A hybridization probe comprising,
- a helical organic molecule having a length of 810 nm or shorter which is aligned to form a film, wherein said helical organic molecule is not DNA;
- and
- a polynucleotide bonded to the helical organic molecule wherein said polynucleotide hybridizes to a target polynucleotide, and
- wherein the film reflects incident light as a colored interference light, thereby allowing detection of the target polynucleotide by detecting a change in color of the colored interference light.

A target polynucleotide detecting kit comprising:
- a hybridization probe;
- and
- any one of a dish, plate or tube;
- wherein the hybridization probe comprises a helical organic molecule, and a polynucleotide bonded to the helical organic molecule;
- wherein the helical organic molecule is not DNA, and wherein the helical organic molecule has a length of 810 nm or shorter which is aligned to form a film, wherein the polynucleotide hybridizes to a target polynucleotide, and wherein the film reflects incident light as colored interference light, thereby allowing detection of the target polynucleotide by detecting a change in color of the colored interference light.
