Abstract
The disclosed invention is drawn to pyrazolinone derivatives, and methods of use thereof, for non-radioactive labeling of amine-functionalized molecules, especially biomolecules such as DNA, RNA, PNA, oligomers, carbohydrates, amino acids and peptides. Carboxyl-containing reporter groups such as biotin and fluorescein may be activated for nucleophilic addition to a primary or secondary amine moiety. Representative compounds of the invention include Dimethoxytritylbiotin-XPP, biotin-XPP, and fluorescein-XPP.
