title: Allele specific C-bulge probes with one unique fluorescent molecule discriminate the single nucleotide polymorphism in DNA.
abstract: A combination of an allele specific C-bulge probe and the fluorescent molecule N,N'-bis(3-aminopropyl)-2,7-diamino-1,8-naphthyridine (DANP) that binds specifically to the C-bulge provides a method for single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) typing with only one fluorescent molecule without covalent modification of the DNA probe. The allele specific C-bulge probe contains one additional cytosine and produces a C-bulge directly flanking the SNP site upon hybridization to the target DNA. The C-bulge is a scaffold to recruit and retain DANP directly neighboring the SNP site. The DANP fluorescent probe was selectively modulated by the flanking matched and mismatched base pairs. The mutation type could be discriminated by the modulated fluorescent intensity with respect to the allele specific C-bulge probes used for the assay.
