Abstract

In accordance with the present invention there are provided sterically demanding intercalators. These compounds are useful for detection of a base-pair mismatch, such as by measuring fluorescence of complexes formed by the compounds of the invention and nucleic acid duplexes. The compounds are also capable of catalyzing photolytic cleavage of nucleic acids.
