Abstract

SE PRESENTA UN METODO PARA PRODUCIR OLIGONUCLEOTIDOS A PEQUEÑA O GRAN ESCALA UTILIZANDO MONOMEROS DE NUCLEOXIDO H-FOSFONATO. EL METODO PUEDE UTILIZARSE PARA SINTETIZAR OLIGONUCLEOTIDOS DE CUALQUIER LONGITUD, INCLUYENDO OLIGODESOXIRIBONUCLEOTIDOS Y OLIGORIBONUCLEOTIDOS. EL METODO DA COMO RESULTADO UNA EFICIENCIA DE ACOPLAMIENTO MAYOR DEL 97% Y CONSUME SOLAMENTE DE DOS A TRES EQUIVALENTES DE MONOMERO ACTIVADOR POR REACCION DE ACOPLAMIENTO. ADEMAS, EL METODO NO PRECISA UN PASO DE OBTURACION APARTE NI UN REACTIVO DE OBTURACION PORQUE EL REACTIVO ACTIVADOR PROPORCIONA UNA FUNCION DE OBTURACION PROPIA PREVINIENDO DE ESE MODO EL ALARGAMIENTO DE SECUENCIAS FALLIDAS. LAS UNIONES DE H-FOSFONATO DEL OLIGONUCLEOTIDO SINTETIZADO COMPLETAMENTE PUEDEN SER OXIDADAS CON UNA VARIEDAD DE REACTIVOS PARA OBTENER O DIESTER DE FOSFONATO U OTROS TIPOS DE OLIGONUCLEOTIDOS MODIFICADOS.
