Abstract
[reaction: see text] A bicyclic 4-N-carbamoyldeoxycytidine derivative (1, dC(hpp)) geometrically locked was synthesized as a new fluorescent nucleobase. The hybridization properties of oligodeoxynucleotides containing dC(hpp) were investigated by use of T(m) analysis. It was found that dC(hpp) forms stable base pairs not only with the complementary guanine base, but also with the adenine base. Interestingly, the fluorescence of dC(hpp) was suppressed only when a dC(hpp)-dG base pair was formed.
