1-Ethynylpyrene-modified guanine and cytosine as optical labels for DNA hybridization

Abstract

1-Ethynylpyrene shows remarkable absorption changes upon DNA hybridization when it is covalently attached to the 8-position of guanine. An absorption band at ∼420 nm is only present in the duplex, exhibits thermal melting behaviour and provides the basis for a molecular beacon together with 1-ethynylpyrene-modified cytosine.
