Ad. Malakhov et al., Synthesis and fluorescent properties of 5-(1-pyrenylethynyl)-2 '-deoxyuridine-containing oligodeoxynucleotides, BIOORG KHIM, 26(1), 2000, pp. 39-50
Novel reagents for the fluorescent labeling of oligo- and polynucleotides h
ave been prepared: 5-(1-pyrenylethynyl)-2'-deoxyuridine 3'-phosphoramidite
and a solid support carrying this nucleoside. Oligonucleotides containing o
ne or several modified units have been synthesized, and the fluorescence of
these probes has been shown to change upon hybridization with the compleme
ntary sequence.
