Abstract excerpt
We previously prepared the oligonucleotides (ODNs) conjugated to an anthraquinone (AQ) group via one carbon linker at the 2'-sugar position. When these modified ODNs bind to cDNA sequences, the AQ moiety can be intercalated into the predetermined base-pair pocket of a duplex DNA. In this paper, 2'-AQ-modified ODNs are shown to be an excellent electrochemical probe to clarify the effect of a mismatch base on the...
