Abstract

We describe an approach to the synthesis of TaqMan oligonucleotide probes that is based on Cu(I)-catalyzed alkyne-azide cycloaddition (CuAAC) click chemistry when oligonucleotides containing an internal alkynyl group at the pyrimidine position are labeled post-synthetically with a f luorescent azide. TaqMan probes were constructed with f luorescein in different internal positions and a BHQ1 quencher on the 3′-end. Our previously designed alkynylated deoxyuridine or deoxycytidine phosphoramidites have been employed for the synthesis of alkynyl oligonucleotides. It was demonstrated that the synthesized TaqMan probes can detect accumulation of PCR product in real-time. The closer to the label the 3′-terminal quencher, the higher the quenching efficiency, but the efficiency of probe hybridization to DNA template is reduced in this case.
