AI Article Synopsis

  • A fluorescent nucleobase analog called 7-aminoquinazoline-2,4-(1H,3H)-dione is designed for use in DNA oligonucleotides.
  • This analog can detect mismatches in DNA pairing, specifically identifying when guanine (G) is incorrectly paired.
  • When a mismatch occurs, the analog shows an increase in fluorescence, making it a useful tool for analyzing DNA pairings.

Article Abstract

A fluorescent nucleobase analogue, 7-aminoquinazoline-2,4-(1H,3H)-dione, is incorporated into a DNA oligonucleotide and senses mismatched pairing by displaying G-specific fluorescence enhancement.
