ATROPISOMERS OF ASYMMETRIC XANTHENE FLUORESCENT DYES AND METHODS OF DNA SEQUENCING AND FRAGMENT ANALYSIS

摘要

Substantially pure atropisomers of xanthene compounds are disclosed. A varie ty of molecular biology applications utilize atropisomeric xanthene fluorescent dyes as labels for substrates such as nucleotides, nucleosides, polynucleotides, polypeptides and carbohydrates. Methods include DNA sequencing, DNA fragment analysis, PCR, SNP analysis, oligonucleotide ligation, amplification, minisequencing, and primer extension.
