摘要:
Novel fluorescent labeling techniques and fluorescent labels are provided, employing high affinity non-covalently binding and intercalating fluorescent dyes and dsDNA. The dyes find application to provide highly sensitive labeling of nucleic acids in electrophoretic gels and as pre-prepared labels for binding to a wide variety of specific binding pair members. The DNA-dye fluorescer complex can be used for labels in diagnostic assays, detection of specific nucleic acid sequences, and the like.
摘要:
Heteromultimeric fluorophores are provided for binding to DNA, which allow for the detection of DNA in electrical separations and preparation of probes having high-fluorescent efficiencies and large Stokes shifts. In addition, by appropriate choice of fluorescent molecules, one can use a single narrow wavelength band excitation light source, while obtaining fluorescent emissions having sufficient separation to be readily discriminated.
摘要:
Novel fluorescent dyes are provided, characterized by having a fluorophore joined to a polycationic chain of at least two positive charges. The dyes are found to provide for high enhancement upon binding to nucleic acid and have strong binding affinities to the nucleic acid, as compared to the fluorophore without the polycationic chain. The dyes find use in detection of dsDNA in gel electrophoresis and solution at substantially higher sensitivities using substantially less dye.
摘要:
Fluorescent conjugates are employed providing combinations of a fluorescent sensitizer and a fluorescent phycobiliprotein. The conjugates find use in applications where large Stokes shifts, high absorption coefficients and high fluorescence quantum yields are desired. Particularly, combinations of phycobiliproteins are employed where the wavelength of excitation may be 50 nm or more different from the emission wavelength.
