Synthetic Strategies and Parameters Involved in the Synthesis of Oligodeoxyribonucleotides According to the Phosphoramidite Method
(Wiley Periodicals, Inc.Plenum, 2000-02)
The phosphoramidite approach has had a major impact on the synthesis of oligonucleotides. This unit describes parameters that affect the performance of this method for preparing oligodeoxyribonucleotides, as well as a ...
Chemical Reagents for Investigating the Major Groove of DNA
(Wiley Periodicals, Inc.Oxford University Press, 2001-07)
Chemical modification provides an inexpensive and rapid method for characterizing the structure of DNA and its association with drugs and proteins. Numerous conformation‐specific probes are available, but most investigations ...
Synthesis of N2‐Substituted Deoxyguanosine Nucleosides from 2‐Fluoro‐6‐O‐(Trimethylsilylethyl)‐2′‐Deoxyinosine
(Wiley Periodicals, Inc.Aldrich Chemical Co., 2000-02)
Syntheses of N2‐substituted nucleosides have been studied for many years, primarily with ribonucleosides. However, the primary route to these compounds requires acidic conditions that are too vigorous for the acid‐labile ...
Engineering Specific Cross‐Links in Nucleic Acids Using Glycol Linkers
(Wiley Periodicals, Inc., 2000-02)
One of the most convenient methods for generating oligonucleotides possessing intra‐ or interstrand cross‐links is through incorporation of oligoethylene glycol bridges by solid‐phase synthesis. The reagents are commercially ...
Key Experimental Approaches in DNA Nanotechnology
(Alan R. LissWiley Periodicals, Inc., 2002-06)
DNA nanotechnology combines unusual DNA motifs with sticky‐ended cohesion to build polyhedral objects, topological targets, nanomechanical devices, and both crystalline and aperiodic arrays. The goal of DNA nanotechnology ...
Probing RNA Structure with Chemical Reagents and Enzymes
(Wiley Periodicals, Inc., 2000-02)
This unit provides thorough coverage of the most useful chemical and enzyme probes that can be used to examine RNA secondary and tertiary structure. Footprinting methods are presented using dimethyl sulfate, diethyl ...
Oligoribonucleotides with 2′‐O‐(tert‐Butyldimethylsilyl) Groups
(Wiley Periodicals, Inc.IRL Press,, 2000-07)
The chemical synthesis of oligoribonucleotides on solid support is routinely performed via the phosphoramidite method. However, the additional 2‐OH function of the ribofuranosyl sugar requires suitable protection during ...
Determination of Binding Mode: Intercalation
(Academic PressWiley Periodicals, Inc., 2000-02)
A small molecule can be assumed to bind to DNA by intercalation between base pairs if it causes lengthening and unwinding of the DNA helix and undergoes changes in its spectral properties, such as DNA‐induced hypochromism ...
Cellular Delivery of Locked Nucleic Acids (LNAs)
(Wiley Periodicals, Inc., 2002-06)
Locked nucleic acids (LNAs) are RNA derivatives that have an O‐methylene linkage between the 2 and 4 positions of the ribose. This leads to exceptionally high‐affinity binding to complementary sequences. They are synthesized ...
