NUCLEIC ACID ANALOG, DIAGNOSTIC AGENT AND USE OF THE SAME IN ANALYSIS METHOD

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain some nucleic acid analogs, e.g., for performing capture, recognition, detection, identification or quantification about one or more chemically or microbiologically individual units, in order to solve problems which can not be solved by conventional techniques in a field of diagnostic agents.

SOLUTION: The nucleic acid homologs having a new structure and characteristics that have not been known such as a characteristic to form a hybrid with a conventionally known nucleic acid having a complementary sequence and enhancing stability in the Tm value of the hybrid higher than the hybrid formed by the conventionally known nucleic acid and/or a characteristic to enhance selectivity to a complementary sequence comparing with a sequence relating to a degree of mismatching of the known conventional nucleic acid, and applications of the nucleic acid homologs to diagnostic agents or analyses are provided.
