This invention provides methods, apparatus and kits for the quantitative and qualitative characterization of the nucleic acid molecule's behavior by modify the nucleic acid molecules to incorporate selected fluorescent base analogues (FBAs). The methods generally place one or more fluorescent base analogue into a nucleic acid molecule (e.g., an oligonucleotide) to replace the corresponding normal base(s), arrange fluorescent base analogues as intrinsic fluorescent probes by using direct excitation, indirect excitation, and excimer emission labeling schemes, introducing so modified nucleic acid molecules into the matrix with interested condition and measuring the fluorescent properties of the modified nucleic acid molecules at the specific emission wavelength of FBA(s). The apparatus is designed to irradiate the FBA(s) incorporated nucleic acid molecule at a wavelength in the range of 240 nm-280 nm and detect the fluorescent activities at the specific emission wavelength of the respective FBA(s). The kit provides oligonucleotides modified by multiple FBAs in the position of critical portions. It utilizes simultaneous indirect excitation labeling scheme for qualitative and quantitative investigation of nucleic acid molecules' interaction in vitro and in vivo.

This invention relates to methods for screening compounds for the ability to interact with a nucleic acid target, assay kits useful thereof and compositions regarding same. In a particular aspect, the invention relates to specific binding assays employing fluorescent label(s). The methods involve assessing the conformation of nuclei acid targets in the presence and absence of test compounds, and identifying as a ligand any test ligand that causes a measurable conformation change in nuclei acid targets. The effect of compounds on target nuclei acids conformation is assessed by measuring the fluorescence changes of a fluorescently label(s) attached hereto.
