PNA AND DNA CONJUGATES AND METHODS FOR PREPARATION THEREOF

摘要

Disclosed herein are methods for linking a protein or other biomolecule containing a carboxylic acid moiety to a PNA or DNA probe molecule. The methods disclosed herein involve activating the carboxylic acid moiety with an activating agent and reacting the activated carboxylic acid moiety with a PNA or DNA probe having an arylamine or aminooxyacetyl moiety. Conjugates produced by these methods are also disclosed.
