Abstract

Nitroxide labeled hybridization probes are formed from novel nucleotides. The novel nucleotides are formed by substituting a nitroxide moiety at the C-5 position of the pyrimidine ring of either cytosine or uracil. The hybridization probes are formed by nick translation with E. coli polymerase I or T4 DNA polymerase or other template dependent enzymes. The hybridization probes can then be detected using electron spin resonance spectroscopy or alternately using a colorimetric method.
