Zusammenfassung:A construct comprising a graphene substrate and a hybrid molecule comprising a single-stranded nucleic acid segment and a double-stranded nucleic acid segment, in which the hybrid molecule is immobilized to the graphene substrate by the single stranded nucleic acid segment, and in which the double-stranded nucleic acid segment comprises a linear segment comprising at least one base pair in perpendicular orientation to the graphene substrate at the junction where the double-stranded nucleic acid segment and the single-stranded nucleic acid segment join. In addition, a method for producing such a construct, the construct as produced by the production method of the invention, a method for measuring quenching efficiency by means of measuring the fluorescence lifetime or fluorescence intensity in such a construct, as well as a microscopy system for measuring relative fluorescence lifetime in such a construct.
