We report the proof-of-principle concept for zipper. molecular beacons (ZMB) comprising an asymmetrical polyarginine/polyglutamate electrostatic zipper hairpin-linked fluorophore-quencher pair. The objective is to balance maximal quenching efficiency and optimal two-step activation (protease cleavage/zipper dissociation), while enhancing target cell uptake. This strategy also, eilminates the peptide sequence dependence of conventional protease beacons. This ZMB concept is a generalizable approach to improve the functionality of a wide range of diagnostic/therapeutic probes through a simple switching of substrate sequences.
