Abstract

Progress in synthesis of novel fluorescent oligonucleotides has provided effective instruments for nucleic acid detection. Pyrene conjugated oligonucleotides have demonstrated their effectiveness as fluorescent hybridization probes. Here we describe the synthesis, isolation, and analysis of 5′-monopyrene and 5′-bispyrene conjugates of oligo(2′-O-methylribonucleotides) and their application as probes for fluorescent detection of mismatches in RNA targets.
