Title: Preparation of ligation intermediates and related polynucleotide pyrophosphates. Author: Chu BC, Orgel LE. Journal: Biochim Biophys Acta; 1984 May 15; 782(1):103-5. PubMed ID: 6326832. Abstract: Unprotected oligonucleotides and oligodeoxynucleotides terminated with an unhindered 5'-phosphate group react with nucleoside 5'- phosphorimidazolides in aqueous solution to give 'capped' pyrophosphates in at least 70% yield. If adenosine 5'- phosphorimidazolide is used as a substrate in the reaction, ligase intermediates are obtained as products.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
