Oligonucleotide-templated reactions are powerful tools for the detection of nucleic acid sequences. One of the major scientific challenges associated with this technique is the rational design of non-enzyme-mediated catalytic templated reactions capable of multiple turnovers that provide high levels of signal amplification. Herein, we report the development of a nucleophilic aromatic substitution reaction-triggered fluorescent probe. The probe underwent a rapid templated reaction without any of the undesired background reactions. The fluorogenic reaction conducted in the presence of a template provided a 223-fold increase in fluorescence after 30 s compared with the nontemplated reaction. The probe provided an efficient level of signal amplification that ultimately enabled particularly sensitive levels of detection. Assuming a simple model for the templated reactions, it was possible to estimate the rate constants of the chemical reaction in the presence and in the absence of the template. From these kinetic analyses, it was possible to confirm that an efficient turnover cycle had been achieved, on the basis of the dramatic enhancement in the rate of the chemical reaction considered to be the rate-determining step. With maximized turnover efficiency, it was demonstrated that the probe could offer a high turnover number of 1500 times to enable sensitive levels of detection with a detection limit of 0.5 pM in the catalytic templated reactions.
