Abstract
Nucleic acid probes for detection of a target nucleic acid molecule by an RCA reaction in the presence of the target nucleic acid molecule, comprise a first circular template strand which is capable of acting as a template for RCA, and is protected from RCA in the absence of the target nucleic acid molecule by at least a second protector strand which comprises a region of complementarity to the first template strand and is hybridised thereto to form a double-stranded circular structure containing the first template strand inside the protector strand(s). At least one of the second and/or any further protector strands comprises a target binding site, such that upon binding of the probe to the target nucleic acid molecule the probe is able to undergo a strand displacement reaction which allows RCA of the first template strand. Methods of detecting target analytes use such probes.
