title: Oligonucleotides with bis-pyrene adduct in the backbone: syntheses and properties of intramolecular excimer forming probe.
abstract: 2-(N-bis(2-pyrenylethyl)methyl-amino)ethanol (BPAE) was synthesized and its interaction with DNA was examined to explore the efficiency of intramolecular excimer forming probe. As a result the fluorescence of intramolecular excimer of BPAE disappeared with the addition of poly(dA)-poly(dT). This result suggests an unique type of probe with its introduction to oligonucleotide.
