Fluorescent-labeled DNA is generated through enzymatic incorporation of fluorophore-linked 2'-deoxyribonucleoside-5'-triphosphates (dNTPs) by DNA polymerases. We describe the synthesis of a variety of dye-labeled dNTPs. Amino-linker-modified 5'-triphosphates of all four naturally occurring nucleobases were used as precursors. Commercially available dyes were coupled to the amino function of the side chain. In addition, we attached novel fluorophore derivatives. The labeled products were obtained in at least 96% purity after HPLC purification. Enzymatic incorporation into DNA and subsequent extension of the modified DNA chain were studied. Vent(R) exo- DNA polymerase and a defined template-primer system were used to analyze each dye-labeled dNTP derivative. Our data suggest that the incorporation efficiency depends on the selected dye, the nucleobase or a combination of both.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009711 Nucleotides The monomeric units from which DNA or RNA polymers are constructed. They consist of a purine or pyrimidine base, a pentose sugar, and a phosphate group. (From King & Stansfield, A Dictionary of Genetics, 4th ed) Nucleotide
D010078 Oxazines Six-membered heterocycles containing an oxygen and a nitrogen.
D003854 Deoxyribonucleotides A purine or pyrimidine base bonded to a DEOXYRIBOSE containing a bond to a phosphate group. Deoxyribonucleotide
D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).

D004259 DNA-Directed DNA Polymerase DNA-dependent DNA polymerases found in bacteria, animal and plant cells. During the replication process, these enzymes catalyze the addition of deoxyribonucleotide residues to the end of a DNA strand in the presence of DNA as template-primer. They also possess exonuclease activity and therefore function in DNA repair.

D005456 Fluorescent Dyes Chemicals that emit light after excitation by light. The wave length of the emitted light is usually longer than that of the incident light. Fluorochromes are substances that cause fluorescence in other substances, i.e., dyes used to mark or label other compounds with fluorescent tags.
