Rp. Mauritz et al., SYNTHESIS OF 3',5'-DITHYMIDYLYL-ALPHA-HYDROXYPHOSPHONATE DIMER BUILDING-BLOCKS FOR OLIGONUCLEOTIDE SYNTHESIS - A NEW PRO-OLIGONUCLEOTIDE APPROACH, Nucleosides & nucleotides, 16(7-9), 1997, pp. 1209-1212
The synthesis of the dimer building blocks 1 and 2 and their introduct
ion into (T)(15)-oligonucleotides is described. The stability against
3'-exonuclease digestion (SVP) as well as the hybridization properties
(T-m values) were examined.
