title: Synthesis and properties of a novel molecular beacon containing a benzene-phosphate backbone at a stem moiety.
abstract: This paper describes the synthesis and properties of a novel molecular beacon (MB) containing a benzene-phosphate backbone at the stem moieties. Fluorescent intensity of MBs was found to be stabilized by introducing a benzene-phosphate backbone at stem moieties.
