Scheme 1. Schematic Demonstrating Different Probe Design Strategies.

Scheme 1

The binding mechanism (top) involves signal enhancement upon interaction between the probe and target. On the other hand, probe activation via an uncapping mechanism (bottom) involves cleavage and separation of the trigger from the PA reporter. Responsive element shown in pink.
