Pyrrole- and indole-linked C(8)-deoxyguanosine nucleosides act as fluorescent reporters of H-bonding specificity. Their fluorescence is quenched upon Watson-Crick H-bonding to dC, while Hoogsteen H-bonding to G enhances emission intensity. The indole-linked probe is ∼ 10-fold brighter and shows promise as a fluorescent reporter of Hoogsteen base pairing.
吡咯基和吲哚基连接的 C(8)-脱氧鸟苷核苷作为氢键特异性的荧光报告基团。当与 dC 形成 Watson-Crick 氢键时,其荧光被猝灭,而与 G 形成 Hoogsteen 氢键则增强了发射强度。吲哚基探针的亮度提高了约 10 倍,有望成为 Hoogsteen 碱基配对的荧光报告基团。
