ABSTRACT:
Intercalator compounds are provided which are comprised of intercalator moieties, or substituted intercalator moieties, having one or more functionalized chains, or moieties, and which compounds provide a high affinity for binding to the DNA molecule and show reduced self-quenching, while providing superior transport kinetics. The compounds have been found to provide enhanced fluorescence when bound to a DNA molecule within a fluorescent flow cytometry environment which is about eight to ten times brighter in fluorescence than "bis" structure conventional intercalating agents and other known intercalating agents utilized in flow cytometry environment.
