Abasic site-binding ligands conjugated with cyanine dyes for “off–on” fluorescence sensing of orphan nucleobases in DNA duplexes and DNA–RNA hybrids†
Abstract
A series of abasic site-binding ligands conjugated with cyanine dyes have been developed for “off–on” fluorescence sensing of an orphan nucleobase in DNA duplexes and DNA–RNA hybrids.
