Abstract excerpt
We describe fluorescent oligonucleotide probes labeled with novel (phenylethynyl)pyrene dyes attached to locked nucleic acids. Furthermore, we prove the utility of these probes for the effective detection of single-nucleotide polymorphisms in natural nucleic acids. High-affinity hybridization of the probes and excellent fluorescence responses to single-base mismatches in DNA/RNA targets are demonstrated in model...
