Abstract:
A method for detecting or identifying a base pair which can not construct a normal complementary base pairing, comprising:constructing a pseudo-base-pairing between said base pair and a compound represented by the general formula (I): Aâ€”Lâ€”Bâ€ƒâ€ƒ(I) wherein A is a chemical structural moiety constructing a complementary base pairing with a base of a base pair which can not construct a normal base pairing, B is a chemical structural moiety constructing a complementary base pairing with the other base of the base pair which can not construct a normal base pairing, and L is a linker structure linking the chemical structural moieties A and B, andassaying the formation of said pseudo-base-pairing.
