Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 16
Claim 1
Independent Claim
230 words
A nucleotide having the formula P-S-B-Sig wherein P is a phosphoric acid moiety, S is a sugar moiety, B is a pyrimidine, purine or 7-deazapurine moiety, P being attached at the 3ʹ and/or 5ʹ position of S when said nucleotide is a deoxyribonucleotide and at the 2ʹ, 3ʹ and/or 5ʹ position when said nucleotide is a ribonucleotide, B being attached to the 1ʹ position of S from the N₁ position when B is a pyrimidine or the N9 position when B is a purine or a 7-deazapurine, and Sig is covalently attached to B at the N3, C5 or C6 position when B is a pyrimidine, at the C2, N3, N7 or C8 position when B is a purine, at the C7 position when B is a 7-deazapurine, at the N₂ position when B is a guanine and at the N6 position when B is an adenine, and wherein Sig represents a moiety which is detectable when said nucleotide is incorporated into a double-stranded nucleic acid duplex directly or through a linkage group which does not interfere substantially with the characteristic ability of Sig to form a detectable signal, said Sig comprising a component selected from the group consisting of biotin or iminobiotin, an electron dense component, a magnetic component, an enzyme component, a catalytic metal component, a fluorescent component, a chemiluminescent component and an antigen, hapten or antibody component.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
