Abstract: Conjugates between a minor groove binding molecule, such as the trimer of 1,2-dihydro-(3H)-pyrrolo[3,2-e]indole-7-carboxylate (CDPI3), and an oligonucleotide form unusually stable hybrids with complementary target sequences, in which the tethered CDPI3 group resides in the minor groove of the duplex. These conjugates can be used as probes and primers. Due to their unusually high binding affinity, conjugates as short as 8-mers can be used as amplification primers with high specificity and efficiency. MGB conjugation also increases the discriminatory power of short oligonucleotides, providing enhanced detection of nucleotide sequence mismatches by short oligonucleotides.

Abstract: Oligonucleotides in which one or more purine residues are substituted by pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidines exhibit improved hybridization properties. Oligonucleotides containing pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine base analogues have higher melting temperatures than unsubstituted oligonucleotides of identical sequence. Thus, in assays involving hybridization of an oligonucleotide probe to a target polynucleotide sequence, higher signals are obtained. In addition, mismatch discrimination is enhanced when pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine-containing oligonucleotides are used as hybridization probes, making them useful as probes and primers for hybridization, amplification and sequencing procedures, particularly those in which single- or multiple-nucleotide mismatch discrimination is required.
