title: Clear distinction of pyrimidine bases on the complementary strand by fluorescence change of novel fluorescent nucleosides.
abstract: New fluorescent nucleosides, methoxybenzodeazaadenine ((MD)A) and methoxybenzodeazainosine ((MD)I) which can sharply distinguish between C and T bases, respectably. The hybridization of an ODN probe containing (MD)A and (MD)I with a target DNA facilitates the judgment with the fluorescence spectra of the type of pyrimidine bases located at a specific site on the target DNA. The (MD)A- and (MD)I containing ODN are very effective probes for pyrimidine SNP typing.
