Schematic depiction of the binding of VZV62LPB-FAM probe to its target. The FAM fluorophore attached to the VZV62LPB-FAM probe is self-quenched in unbound state. Post binding to the dumbbell shaped DNA target, the FAM fluorophore is de-quenched resulting in fluorescence development. For simplicity, only one dumbbell which would bind to the LPB loop primer (VZV62LPB) is shown in this depiction.
