A new type of Forster Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) system using highly emissive isomorphic nucleobase analogues is reported. The FRET pair consists of 2-aminothie-no[ 3,4-d] pyrimidine G-mimic deoxyribonucleoside (thdG) as an energy donor and 1,3-diaza-2-oxophenothiazine (tC) as an energy acceptor. The distance and orientation between donor and acceptor was controlled by systematic incorporation of (th)dG and tC into DNA sequences to investigate the FRET efficiencies. This is the first Watson-Crick base-pairable FRET pair to produce vivid colors. In addition, this nucleic acid-based FRET pair was used to monitor DNA conformation and achieved visualization of the B-Z transition.
