In addition to the conventional set of nucleoside phosphoramidites, the synthesis also requires a solid support derivatized with a quencher and a phosphoramidite building block designed for the attachment of a protected fluorescent dye.
The first use of the term molecular beacons, synthesis and demonstration of function was in 1996
