Fluorogenic probes utilize intramolecular dimers to improve fluorescence changes during biochemical monitoring.
Fluorogenic probes dual-labeled with reporter and quencher dyes use a change in fluorescence to monitor biochemical events (e.g., substrate binding or enzyme digestion). Such events change the reporter-quencher distance, which affects fluorescence. Recently, it is has been shown that static quenching through intramolecular dimers is an important mechanism that can sometimes be more efficient than Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET).
