The present invention is intended to provide a novel fluorescence sensor for target analysis, a kit for target analysis, and a target analysis method using the same. The fluorescence sensor for target analysis according to the present invention includes a nucleic acid molecule that includes a G-quartet-forming nucleic acid region (D) that forms a G-quartet and a binding nucleic acid region (A) that binds to a target. In the absence of a target, formation of a G-quartet in the G-quartet-forming nucleic acid region (D) is inhibited. In the presence of a target, the target comes into contact with the binding nucleic acid region (A), the G-quartet is formed in the G-quartet-forming nucleic acid region (D) due to the contact, the G-quartet-forming region (D) and porphyrin forms a complex, and the complex generates fluorescence. |
