title: Novel fluorophore for labelling of oligonucleotides.
abstract: A novel fluorophore viz. 4-dansylamido-1,8-naphthalimido-N-pentanol has been designed, prepared and characterised. The comparative fluorescence has been studied in different solvents, solvent gradient, aqueous solutions of inorganic ions and buffers. This can be used for covalent tagging of oligonucleotides having potential application in Molecular Biology.
