Abstract:
Lighting up bacteria: An RNA‐cleaving fluorescent DNAzyme (RFD) can produce a fluorescent signal in the crude extracellular mixture generated by live bacterial cells (see picture). These DNAzymes cleave a lone RNA linkage (R) embedded in a DNA chain and flanked by nucleotides labeled with a fluorophore (F) and a quencher (Q).
