First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A compound having the following structure (IA): or a stereoisomer, salt or tautomer thereof, wherein: M is, at each occurrence, independently a fluorescent dye, wherein at least one occurrence of M has absorbance for use in fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET), and at least one occurrence of M has emissions for use in FRET; L 1 is at each occurrence, independently either i) an alkylene linker; ii) a heteroalkylene linker including at least one nitrogen atom; or iii) a linker comprising a triazolyl functional group; L 2 and L 3 are, at each occurrence, independently an alkylene or heteroalkylene linker; R 1 is, at each occurrence, H; R 2 is Q, or a protected form thereof, or a linker comprising a covalent bond to Q; R 3 comprises a deoxythymidine (dT) group; R 4 is, at each occurrence, OH, O − or OR d ; R 5 is, at each occurrence, oxo; R d is a counter ion; Q is a moiety comprising a sulfhydryl, disulfide, activated ester, isothiocyanate, azide, alkyne, alkene, diene, dienophile, acid halide, sulfonyl halide, phosphine, «-haloamide, biotin, amino or maleimide functional group, wherein the activated ester is an N-succinimide ester, imidoester or polyflourophenyl ester, and wherein the azide is an alkyl azide or acyl azide; m is, at each occurrence, independently an integer of one to 10; n is an integer of one to 32; and z is an integer from 2 to 25. 2 . The compound of claim 1 , wherein for at least one occurrence of L 1 , L 1 -M has the following structure: wherein L 1a and L 1b are each independently optional linkers. 3 . The compound of claim 1 , wherein for at least one occurrence of L 1 , L 1 -M has the following structure: wherein L 1a and L 1b are each independently optional linkers. 4 . The compound of claim 2 , wherein L 1a or L 1b , or both, is absent. 5 . The compound of claim 2 , wherein L 1a or L 1b , or both, is present. 6 . The compound of claim 5 , wherein L 1a and L 1b , when present, are each independently alkylene or heteroalkylene. 7 . The compound of claim 5 , wherein L 1a and L 1b , when present, independently have one of the following structures: 8 . The compound of claim 1 , wherein R 4 is, at each occurrence, O − . 9 . The compound of claim 1 , wherein Q is capable of forming a covalent bond with a targeting moiety that is an antibody or cell surface receptor antagonist. 10 . The compound of claim 1 , wherein L 2 and L 3 are, at each occurrence, a methylene linker. 11 . The compound of claim 1 , wherein R 2 has the following structure: 12 . The compound of claim 1 , wherein L 2 -R 3 comprises the following structure: 13 . The compound of claim 1 , wherein Q is a moiety selected from 14 . The compound of claim 1 , wherein Q is capable of forming a covalent bond with an analyte molecule that is a nucleic acid, amino acid or a polymer thereof, an enzyme, receptor, receptor ligand, antibody, glycoprotein, aptamer or prion. 15 . The compound of claim 1 , wherein one M is a FRET acceptor. 16 . The compound of claim 1 , wherein z is an integer from 2 to 10. 17 . The compound of claim 1 , wherein z is an integer from 3 to 6. 18 . The compound of claim 1 , wherein R 2 comprises alkylene oxide. 19 . The compound of claim 1 , wherein R 3 comprises alkylene oxide.
