Alzheimer's disease is a progressive neurodegenerative condition that causes brain cell death and is the leading cause of dementia. Most patients with Alzheimer's disease are diagnosed with late-onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD), with apolipoprotein E (APOE) genotypes being highly associated with the frequency of LOAD risk. A fluorescence detection system coupled with oligonucleotide ligation and magnetic separation was developed to identify two single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) for the APOE gene and recognize APOE alleles for LOAD.

Over the past two decades, it has become abundantly clear that nucleic acid biochemistry, especially with respect to RNA, is more convoluted and complex than previously appreciated. Indeed, the application and exploitation of nucleic acids beyond their predestined role as the medium for storage and transmission of genetic information to the treatment and study of diseases has been achieved. In other areas of endeavor, utilization of nucleic acids as a probe molecule requires that they possess a reporter group.

The detailed synthetic protocols for the preparation of phosphoramidite reagents compatible with standard, automated oligonucleotide synthesis for the 2'-deoxy- and ribo-6-phenylpyrrolocyitidine are reported. Each protocol starts with the parent nucleoside and prepares the 5'-O-dimethoxytrityl-N -benzoyl-5-iodocytosine derivative for the nucleobase modification chemistry. The key step is the direct formation of 6-phenylpyrrolocytosine aglycon via a sequential, one-pot Pd-catalyzed Sonogashira-type cross- coupling followed by a 5-endo-dig cyclization.

The labelling of DNA oligonucleotides with signalling groups that give a unique response to duplex formation depending on the target sequence is a highly effective strategy in the design of DNA-based hybridisation sensors. A key challenge in the design of these so-called base discriminating probes (BDPs) is to understand how the local environment of the signalling group affects the sensing response. The work herein describes a comprehensive study involving a variety of photophysical techniques, NMR studies and molecular dynamics simulations, on anthracene-tagged oligonucleotide probes that can sense single base changes (point variants) in target DNA strands.

A combination of fluorophore and nucleobase through a π-conjugated rigid linker integrates the base pairing and the fluorescence change into a single event. Such base discriminating fluorophore can change its fluorescence as a direct response to the base pairing event and therefore have advantages over tethered labels or base surrogates lacking the hydrogen-bonding ability. 8-(Pyrene-1-yl)ethynyl-adenine (A) has been extensively used as fluorescence labels in DNA and LNA, but it showed little discrimination between different nucleobases.
