METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS FOR BINDING NUCLEIC ACID MOLECULES

摘要

The present invention provides methods for binding nucleic acid molecules to a nucleic acid binding composition. The methods of this aspect of the invention comprise the step of contacting a nucleic acid binding composition with nucleic acid molecules under conditions that enable binding of the nucleic acid binding composition to the nucleic acid molecules, wherein the nucleic acid binding composition is defined by formula I, formula II, or formula III, as defined herein. The present invention also provides nucleic acid binding compositions defined by formula I, formula II or formula III.
