제목 Fluorescent Oligonucleotides: Synthesis and Application
초록 The design and synthesis of fluorescent oligonucleotides has been a subject of intensive effort because these oligonucleotide derivatives can be used as tools in molecular biology, diagnostics and structural studies.1 Current interest in our lab is also focused on the development of fluorophore-labeled oligonucleotides that display a strongly enhanced signal upon hybridization with a target DNA. These types of oligonucleotide probes have become very attractive recently because they can be used as single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) probes.2 Pyrene-labeled nucleosides synthesized using Sonogashira coupling3,4 at the C-5 position of deoxyuridine with 1-ethynylpyrene can be inserted efficiently into ODNs (Figure 1).5 The relative fluorescence intensities of 1•5, 1, 1•2, 1•3 and 1•4 are 1.9, 1.0, 0.34, 0.46 and 0.69, respectively. Therefore the pyrene-labeled ODN 1 was found to be a sensitive probe that discriminates between perfect and one-base-mismatched base pairing by distinct change in its fluorescence intensity.

We have also synthesized, by Sonogashira coupling, a fluorene-containing deoxyuridine derivative that we incorporated into the loop region of a hairpin (Figure 2).6 This hairpin functions as new type of molecular beacon (MB) that requires no fluorescence quencher unit. The fluorescence intensities of single-base-mismatched duplexes are decreased relative to that observed for the hairpin, but are increased upon hybridizing with fully matched sequences. The total discrimination factor is 14.7 for the recognition of a single (A/C) base mismatch.
