The syntheses of the four novel, base protected 5'-(S-triphenylmethyl)mercapto-2',5'-dideoxyribonucleoside-3 '-O-(2-cyanoethyl N,N-diisopropylphosphoramidites) are described. These compounds have been used to prepare 5'-(S-triphenylmethyl) mercapto-oligodeoxyribonucleotides, which are readily purified by reversed phase h.p.l.c., owing to the highly lipophilic trityl group. After cleavage of the S-trityl group by silver or mercuric ions, the free thiol moiety can be coupled to a wide variety of reagents, generating very useful probes. Fluorescent labelled 5'-mercapto-oligodeoxyribonucleotides are being used for automated DNA sequencing without radioactivity, and heavy metal labelled 5'-mercapto-oligonucleotides will be used in X-ray crystallography.
本文描述了四种新型的、碱基保护的5'-(S-三苯甲基)巯基-2',5'-二脱氧核糖核苷-3'-O-(2-氰基乙基N,N-二异丙基磷酰胺)的合成方法。这些化合物已被用于制备5'-(S-三苯甲基)巯基-寡脱氧核糖核苷酸,由于三苯甲基基团具有高度亲脂性,这些寡核苷酸很容易通过反相高效液相色谱法进行纯化。在用银离子或汞离子裂解S-三苯甲基基团后,游离的巯基部分可以与多种试剂偶联,从而生成非常有用的探针。荧光标记的5'-巯基-寡脱氧核糖核苷酸正被用于无放射性的自动化DNA测序,而重金属标记的5'-巯基-寡核苷酸将用于X射线晶体学研究。
