title: Single base interrogation by a fluorescent nucleotide: each of the four DNA bases identified by fluorescence spectroscopy.
abstract: Nucleoside C, which contains a rigid nitroxide spin label, is effectively reduced in DNA by sodium sulfide to the corresponding amine, yielding a fluorescent probe (Cf) that can report the identity of its base-pairing partner in duplex DNA.
