Abstract:

Polymers are macromolecular compounds built up from single or numerous kinds of monomers. The common materials in production and living(for example protein, nucleic acid, starch, fiber, plastic and rubber, etc.) are included in this category. Owing to the unique properties after polymerization and their monomers, polymers have been extensively used in fluorescence analysis as fundamental materials: target recognition can be realized through polymers interact with target molecules through intermolecular forces(hydrogen bond, hydrophilic and hydrophobic function, and van der Waals’ force, etc.); certein polymers can transform the molecular recognition event to easily recognizable fluorescence signal, and then fluorescence signal transformation and amplification could be realized; certein polymers have been used as framework of flourescence probes, therefore the recognition capacity of fluorescence probes are improved due to multivalency effect, and multifunction devices are constructed based on the conjugation of different functional units. In this paper, the research and application of polymers in molecular recognition, signal transformation and as framework of probes were reviewed.

Key words: Polymer, Fluorescence analysis, Molecular recognition, Signal transduction, Framework of fluorescence probe
