Two-dye and one- or two-quencher DNA probes for real-time PCR assay: Synthesis and comparison with a TaqMan™ probe

A typical TaqMan™ real-time PCR probe contains a 5'-fluorescent dye and a 3'-quencher. In the course of the amplification, the probe is degraded starting from the 5'- end, thus releasing fluorescent dye. Some fluorophores (including fluorescein) are known to be prone to self-quenching when located near each other. This work is aimed at studying dye-dye and dye-quencher interactions in multiply modified DNA probes. Twenty-one fluorogenic probes containing one and two fluoresceins (FAM), or a FAM-JOE pair, and one or two BHQ1 quenchers were synthesized using non-nucleoside reagents and "click chemistry" post-modification on solid phase and in solution. The probes were tested in real-time PCR using an ~300-bp-long natural DNA fragment as a template. The structural prerequisites for lowering the probe background fluorescence and increasing the end-plateau fluorescence intensity were evaluated and discussed. © Springer-Verlag 2012.
