Excimer-forming two-probe nucleic acid hybridization (ETPH) method with pyrene as a fluorophore enables homogeneous hybridization assays. We examined the effect of linker length between a pyrene residue and a terminal sugar moiety on Tm of hybrids in the presence of 20% dimethylformamide (DMF). The results including those of CD measurements indicated no interaction of pyrene residues with the duplex formed between a target 32-mer and a pyrenemethyliodoacetamide-introduced 16-mer probe (PMIA-P5)/a pyrenebutanoic acid-introduced 16-mer probe (PBuA-P3), which is the best pair of probes for intense excimer emission. This was also supported by a computer-assisted molecular modeling using Insight II and Discover software.
以芘作为荧光团的准分子形成双探针核酸杂交(ETPH)方法可实现均相杂交分析。我们研究了芘残基与末端糖部分之间的连接子长度对在20%二甲基甲酰胺(DMF)存在下杂交体熔解温度(Tm)的影响。包括圆二色性(CD)测量结果在内的结果表明,芘残基与在靶标32聚体与引入了碘代乙酰氨基芘的16聚体探针(PMIA-P5)/引入了丁酸芘的16聚体探针(PBuA-P3)之间形成的双链体没有相互作用,这是用于强烈准分子发射的最佳探针组合。这也得到了使用Insight II和Discover软件进行的计算机辅助分子建模的支持。
