Compounds having two reporters capable of serving as a donor and an acceptor in energy transfer, for example, a fluorescent group together with a 2',3'-deoxyribonucleotide residue or a 3'-deoxyribonucleotide residue. These compounds can serve as a terminator in the chain terminator method. These two reporters are located at a sufficient interval for inducing energy transfer. A method for DNA base sequencing by the chain terminator method wherein the chain termination reaction is effected with the use of the above terminators. Compounds having two reporters capable of serving as a donor and an acceptor in energy transfer and being usable as primers or initiators in a method for DNA base sequencing with the use of the chain terminator method and a method for DNA base sequencing with the use of these compounds. |
