The invention described relates to 2,4-dinitrophenyl (DNP) labelling of nucleic acids or nucleic acid probes. Specifically, there is described compounds of formula I.
A compound of formula I:
X-Q-R*-NH-DNP (I)
wherein
DNP is a 2,4-dinitrophenyl group;
R* is a C1-12 carbon chain, optionally interrupted with one or more of the following: -0-, -NH-, alkylamine, carbon-carbon double bond, carbon-carbon triple bond, carbonyl group or amide group;
Q is a group Q* or a group
wherein t is O or is an integer of from 1 to 6;
Q* is a nucleoside comprising a heterocyclic amine base bonded to C1' of a C5 or C6 pentose sugar;
X is a group
and where group Q represents a group Q*, X may also be a group
or a phosphate, diphosphate or triphosphate group;
R3 and R4 are each independently selected from C1-6 alkyl, cycloalkyl, aralkyl and aryl groups; and
R5 and R6 are each blocking groups which may be the same or different
and the use of such compounds in the synthesis of oligonucleotide probes and formation of DNP-labelled oligonucleotides for use in solid-phase PCR, solid phase in situ hybridisation or in affinity chromatography.
