20090048427 | HYBRIDIZATION AND MISMATCH DISCRIMINATION USING OLIGONUCLEOTIDES CONJUGATED TO MINOR GROOVE BINDERS - Conjugates between a minor groove binding molecule, such as the trimer of 1,2-dihydro-(3H)-pyrrolo[3,2-e]indole-7-carboxylate (CDPI | 02-19-2009 |
20100137614 | NEGATIVELY CHARGED MINOR GROOVE BINDERS - The present invention provides a negatively charged minor groove binding compound, oligonucleotide conjugates comprising the same, and methods for using the same. The negatively charged minor groove binding compounds of the present invention comprises an acidic moiety that is capable of being ionized under physiological conditions. In particular, the negatively charged minor groove binding compound of the present invention comprises a binding moiety that binds preferentially into a minor groove of a double, triple or higher stranded DNA, RNA, PNA or hybrids thereof. The binding moiety comprises at least one aryl moiety and an acidic moiety which is covalently attached to a phenyl portion of the aryl moiety or to a heteroatom of a heteroaryl portion of the aryl moiety. | 06-03-2010 |
20110275070 | HYBRIDIZATION AND MISMATCH DISCRIMINATION USING OLIGONUCLEOTIDES CONJUGATED TO MINOR GROOVE BINDERS - Conjugates between a minor groove binding molecule, such as the trimer of 1,2-dihydro-(3H)-pyrrolo[3,2- | 11-10-2011 |
20120015358 | ORTHOGONAL NUCLEIC ACID AFFINITY PAIRS - The invention provides methods to identify pRNA- and pDNA oligomer affinity pairs. Affinity pairs comprised of nucleic acid oligomers which demonstrate no cross-reactivity (“orthogonal”) are designed using software and empirically verified by thermodynamic study and lateral flow testing. The design software uses a semi-random algorithm to build such sequences of nucleic acid oligomers based on user-input parameters for affinity strength and orthogonal stringency. These pairs can be applied for use in multi-analyte solid support and lateral flow diagnostic tests. | 01-19-2012 |
20120244535 | FUNCTIONALIZED 3-ALKYNYL PYRAZOLOPYRIMIDINE ANALOGUES AS UNIVERSAL BASES AND METHODS OF USE - 3-alkynyl inosine analogs and their uses as universal bases are provided. The inosine analogues can be incorporated into nucleic acid primers and probes. They do not significantly destabilize nucleic acid duplexes. As a result, the novel nucleic acid primers and probes incorporating the inosine analogues can be used in a variety of methods. The analogs function unexpectedly well as universal bases. Not only do they stabilize duplexes substantially more than hypoxanthine opposite A, C, T, and G but they are also recognized in primers by polymerases, allowing efficient amplification. | 09-27-2012 |
20130030166 | MINOR GROOVE BINDER PHOSPHORAMIDITES AND METHODS OF USE - Minor groove binder phosphoramidites having unique structures have been synthesized according to particular methods. These minor groove binder phosphoramidites are useful in the preparation of oligonucleotide conjugates, particularly those for use as probes and primers. | 01-31-2013 |

20140275508 | ARTIFICIAL NUCLEIC ACIDS - Artificial nucleosides including 2-methyl-nucleobase-substituted butane-1,3-diol nucleosides are disclosed. Four different stereoisomers of such nucleosides are possible. Oligonucleotides made up of the artificial nucleosides form homoduplexes of greater stability than DNA duplexes and have a reduced ability to hybridize to DNA or RNA. | 09-18-2014 |
