Abstract
A cationic detergent having a positively charged group and a hydrophobic group is used to conjugate an enzymatically active enzyme molecule with a single-stranded nucleic acid molecule. The conjugate may be used to detect the presence of nucleic acid molecules having a nucleotide sequence which is complementary to that of the single-stranded molecule of the conjugate.
