A facile, sensitive method for detecting specific sequences of oligonucleotides was developed. Detection of DNA sequences with single nucleotide discrimination is achieved by combining the selectivity of hybridization with an efficient cross-linking reaction. Readily synthesized bifunctional oligonucleotide probes containing a modified pyrimidine that is capable of forming interstrand cross-links under mild oxidative conditions internally, and biotin at their 5-termini were used to discriminate between 16-nt long sites in plasmid DNA that differ by a single nucleotide. The target sequence was detected via fluorescence spectroscopy by utilizing conjugates of avidin and horseradish peroxidase in a microtiter plate assay. The method is able to detect as little as 250 fmol of target without using PCR and exhibits single nucleotide discrimination that approaches 200:1. In principle, this method is capable of probing any target sequence containing a 2-deoxyadenosine.
