The invention describes the preparation and use of fluorescent stains for nucleic acids derived from unsymmetrical cyanine dyes, dimmers, trimers, or tetramers. In particular, the invention describes unsymmetric cyanine dyes, dimmers, trimer and tetramers having a water soluble substituent. The dyes of the invention possess superior fluorescent properties when complexed with nucleic acids, and have utility in any application which requires detection of nucleic acids, such as detection of nucleic acids in solution, in gels, in blots, in microarrays, and in bacteria and cells, and for use in analysis of cell structure, membrane integrity, and function. The presence of the water soluble substituent results in improved water soluability and stability, resulting in improved detection of nucleic acids.
该发明描述了从非对称青霉素染料、二聚体、三聚体或四聚体衍生的核酸荧光染料的制备和使用。具体而言,该发明描述了具有水溶性取代基的非对称青霉素染料、二聚体、三聚体和四聚体。该发明的染料在与核酸结合时具有优越的荧光特性,并可在任何需要检测核酸的应用中使用,例如在溶液中、凝胶中、斑点中、微阵列中、细菌和细胞中检测核酸,并用于细胞结构、膜完整性和功能的分析。水溶性取代基的存在导致改善了水溶性和稳定性,从而提高了对核酸的检测。
