title: A novel cationic conjugated polymer for homogeneous fluorescence-based DNA detection.
abstract: A novel water-soluble cationic conjugated polymer, poly({2,5-bis[3-(N,N-diethylamino)-1-oxapropyl]-para-phenylenevinylene}-alt-para-phenylenevinylene) dibromide, was synthesized and used to develop a simple label-free DNA detection essay.
