摘要
Metal chelating iminodiacetic acid moieties were appended to abutting ends of two 9-mer oligonucleotides designed to hybridize contiguously on an 18-mer target. Chelation of 1 equivalent of Gd3+ cooperatively increases affinities of the oligonucleotides to the single stranded DNA target as evidenced by a 15 degreesC increase in T-m of the complex.
