Researchers used a novel phosphate-activation reagent, 2-MeImIm-Cl, in an improved coupling reaction to increase the yield of ADP- or ATP-containing molecules. Unlike traditional reactions, the ...
From synthetic biology and gene therapy to data storage and biofuel production, the demand for synthetic DNA is rising. (1) Chemicals remove the 5’-hydroxyl protecting group. The nucleosides are rich ...
Depurination of DNA and RNA sequences is an alteration of the sugar-phosphate backbone in which hydrolysis of a purine base (adenine or guanine) occurs. Synthetic oligonucleotides suffer from such ...
