Oligonucleotide labelling using a fluorogenic "click" reaction with a hemicarboxonium salt

Molecules. 2013 Oct 17;18(10):12966-76. doi: 10.3390/molecules181012966.

Abstract

Two fluorescent streptocyanine labelled oligonucleotides have been synthesized by a simple "click" reaction between a non-fluorescent hemicarboxonium salt and aminoalkyl functionalized thymidines within the oligonucleotide and their spectrophotometric properties have been studied.
