Dephosphorylation-directed tricyclic DNA amplification cascades for sensitive detection of protein tyrosine phosphatase

Chem Commun (Camb). 2020 Oct 1;56(78):11581-11584. doi: 10.1039/d0cc04714g.

Abstract

We develop a new fluorescence method for the sensitive detection of protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) based on dephosphorylation-directed tricyclic DNA amplification cascades. This method exhibits good specificity and high sensitivity with a detection limit of 0.24 pM. Moreover, it can be applied for kinetics analysis, inhibitor screening, and the accurate detection of PTP1B in a variety of cancer cells.
