Abstract

Disclosed is a method of fluorescent detection of a nucleic acid. The method comprises contacting to the nucleic acid a bis-dicationic aryl furan and exposing the nucleic acid to light at a frequency to induce fluorescence of the compound. A method for fluorescent detection of cytoskeleton elements, and novel bis-dicationic aryl furan compounds are also disclosed.
