A label free exonuclease III-aided fluorescence assay for adenosine triphosphate based on graphene oxide and ligation reaction

A label free exonuclease III (Exo III)-aided fluorescence assay for adenosine triphosphate (ATP) was developed based on the ATP-dependent enzymatic reaction and graphene oxide (GO). This strategy relies on the principle that Exo III shows different cleavage capacity for a DNA substrate in the absence and presence of ATP and the preferential binding of GO to single-stranded DNA over double-stranded one. By combining the unique properties of SYBR...
