LUMINESCENT LANTHANIDE (III) CHELATES, CHELATING AGENTS AND CONJUGATES DERIVED THEREOF

摘要

This invention relates to a group of novel chelating agents, novel chelates, biomolecules labeled with said chelates or chelating agents as well as solid supports conjugated with said chelates, chelating agents or labeled biomolecules. Especially the invention relates to novel chelating agents useful in solid phase synthesis of oligonucleotides or oligopeptides and the oligonucleotides and oligopeptides so obtained. The chelates described herein compris - a lanthanide ion, Ln 3+ - chromophoric moiety - a chelating part, and - a reactive group.
