A New Approach to Revealing Point Mutations in DNA Analyzed by Colorimetric Detection
2005
A new approach to detection of point mutations in an amplified DNA was developed. The approach is based on highly selective ligation (T4 DNA ligase) of a tandem of short oligonucleotides one of which contains the biotin group. The ligation product is formed only when the hybridization complex DNA/tandem is formed and the tandem is perfect. The hybridization complex DNA/(biotinylated ligation product) was separated from the biotinylated component of the tandem by UV-immobilization of the reaction mixture on a nylon membrane. The immobilized hybridization complex was detected colorimetrically by a streptavidin-alkaline phosphatase cojugate with a chromogenic substrate.
