Abstract
Single nucleotide polymorphisms within a sequence of a gene associated with prostate cancer were identified using oligodeoxynucleotide probe sequences bearing internal anthracene fluorophores proximal to the SNP site. Depending upon the nature of the synthesised target sequences, probe-target duplex formation could lead to enhanced or attenuated fluorescence emission from the anthracene, enabling detection of a proximal base-pair as either matching or mismatching.
