• present in biopolymers and react selectively with each other in aqueous solutions. The “click” ligation can avoid the time-consuming synthesis of phosphoramidites as DNA building blocks which is especially important for brightly emitting fluorophores that are not compatible with the acidic, oxidative or

• basic conditions of automated DNA phosphoramidite chemistry and/or DNA workup. We recently presented the postsynthetic incorporation of Nile Blue and a coumarin dye as representatives of base-labile fluorophores by the “click” ligation strategy [17]. Several other fluorophores (spanning the whole

Synthesis of the R-configured DNA building block 3 and postsynthetic click ligation of the Nile Blue-modified single strands (ss) DNA1 and DNA2 that form the double strands (ds) DNA1Y and DNA2Y with the
