Real-time monitoring of small biological molecules by ligation-mediated polymerase chain reaction

Abstract

We develop a ligation-mediated polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for real-time detection of small biological molecules in a high-throughput format. This method is extremely sensitive with a detection limit of as low as 18.8 fM for ATP and 17.3 fM for NAD+, and it can discriminate target molecules from their analogues as well.
