摘要:
The synthesis and characterization of a novel 3' p-hydroxyphenacyl-caged thymidine bearing a 5' N,N-diisopropylcyanoethylphosphoramidite is presented representing a new methodology for the photoregulation of PCR and gene expression. Solid phase oligonucleotide synthesis affords a primer blocked at the 3' position, which could function as a phototrigger for polymerase activity. The caging group exhibits quantitative photolysis in 15 s using a 532 nm green hand laser. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
