| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we constructed and investigated an intelligent reaction system for allowing molecules to process information of transcription pattern and conduct cancer diagnosis. The present reaction system consists of a nucleic acid amplification method and a molecular state machine. In the development of nucleic acid amplification method, we achieved suppression of undesired non-specific amplification, improved reaction specificity and extended variation of detectable forms of nucleic acids. Finally, we improved the sensitivity of detection. In the development of molecular state machine, we revealed factors that affect the reaction efficiency and revised the design of reaction system. Optimization of reaction conditions is continuously implemented.
