A label-free complex probe composed of a water-soluble fluorescent pyrene-functionalized polymer, ssDNA, and a nucleic acid stain (SG) is presented here, which can detect DNA sequence via FRET from pyrene excimer to SG. Complementary and one-base mismatched strands at nanomolar concentrations can be distinguished by the examination of the FRET fluorescence intensity of SG. This novel strategy for detecting DNA using the fluorescent pyrene-functionalized polymer not only affords a simple label-free method to detect nucleic acid sequence but also endows the detection with high sensitivity and selectivity, which may find wide applications for optical biosensing.
