title: Oligonucleotide conjugates of Nile Red.
abstract: Oligonucleotides containing long chain amine on uridine-2'-carbamate have been covalently modified with Nile Red, a hydrophobic long wavelength fluorescent benzophenoxazine dye. The fluorescence of the dye is quenched in oligonucleotide conjugates. Thermal denaturation studies show considerable interactions of Nile Red with DNA-DNA duplexes.
