Abstract excerpt
We report on a highly selective fluorescence ligand for thymine (T) base opposite an abasic site (AP site) in DNA duplexes. From the examination of the binding behaviors in solutions buffered to pH 7.0, we find that 6-chloro-3,5-diamino-2-pyrazinecarbonitrile (CDPC) can selectively recognize T with high affinity (Ka = 2.9 x 10(5) M(-1)), and the fluorescence intensity at 424 nm is significantly quenched only when...
