  • Patent number: 7879986
    Abstract: The specification discloses quenchers of excited state energy, probes and other conjugates comprising the same, and methods for their use. The quenchers of excited state energy have a structure comprising at least one reactive functional group for linking the quencher to a carrier molecule and at least three radicals covalently linked via exocyclic diazo bonds, the at least three radicals including at least one comprising a julolidine of the nominal formula: and the remainder of the at least three radicals being selected from the group of substituted and unsubstituted aryls, substituted and unsubstituted heteroaryls, and combinations thereof.

  • Patent number: 7144995
    Abstract: A fluorescent nitrogenous base and nucleosides including the fluorescent nitrogenous base are provided. Nucleosides including the fluorescent nitrogenous base are capable of Watson-Crick base pairing with naturally occurring nucleosides. The nucleosides including the fluorescent nitrogenous base have many uses including but not limited to use in probes, in the synthesis of nucleic acids, and in investigating nucleic acid interactions with other nucleic acids and/or with proteins.
