Oligonucleotides containing 3-cyanovinylcarbazole (CNVK) can be rapidly cross-linked to a complementary strand at UV 366nm without causing significant DNA damage1. In addition, studies have shown that purine bases were unreactive to cross-linking, allowing differentiation between pyrimidines and purines at the target site. Once cross-linked, the UV melting temperature of the duplex was raised by around 30°C (relative to the duplex temperature before irradiation. Complete reversal of the cross-link takes place at 312nm in 3 approximately minutes.
