Abstract
The removal of 4,4'-dimethoxytrityl (DMTr) groups from oligonucleotides at low pH and the acid lability of the glycosidic linkage of purine nucleotides constitute an inherent conflict in preparative oligonucleotide chemistry. The use of a mildly acidic NaOAc buffer (10 mM, pH 3.0-3.2) allows adjustment of the pH in a range where the progress of the DMTr removal reaction can be monitored conveniently by HPLC and the optimum reaction time can be calculated. As a result, oligonucleotides with minimum depurination are obtained.Entities:
