In this work, a fluorescence turn-on method for copper(II) detection is reported. A molecular beacon (MB) was designed as a template. Cu²⁺ was reduced to Cu⁺ in the presence of a reductant (ascorbic acid). Two short single-stranded oligonucleotides one was labeled with a 5′-alkyne and the other with 3′-azide group, proceeded a template-dependent chemical ligation through the Cu(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition. The newly generated click-ligated long chain oligonucleotide, which was complementary to the MB, opened the MB hairpin structure and resulted in a turn on fluorescence. The increase in fluorescence intensity is directly proportional to the amount of Cu²⁺ added to the assay solution. The present assay is quite sensitive and allows the detection of 2nM Cu²⁺. The described assay also exhibits high selectivity over other metal ions.
