Abstract
The invention provides compositions comprising nucleic acid complexes for use in monitoring binding interactions and in measuring association and/or dissociation kinetics, detecting analytes including low concentration analytes, and screening library members. In some instances, the nucleic acid complexes are double-stranded nicked nucleic acids comprising a scaffold nucleic acid hybridized to one or more oligonucleotides. In some instances, a first, a second, a third, and optionally a fourth oligonucleotide are linked to moieties that are known to interact with each other or which are suspected of interacting with each other or of interacting with a common moiety such as an analyte. Changes in topology of the complex are used to determine the binding interactions of the various binding partners.
