Ag. Venyaminova et al., NEW PHOTOREACTIVE MESSENGER-RNA ANALOGS FOR THE AFFINITY LABELING OF RIBOSOMES, Nucleosides & nucleotides, 14(3-5), 1995, pp. 1069-1072
Chemical synthesis of the model mRNA analogues (AUGU(3), (pU)(n)) bear
ing p-azidotetrafluorobenzamido, p-azidobenzamido or 2-nitro-5-azidobe
nzamido groups coupled to the 5'-terminal phosphate or to the C-8-posi
tion of adenosine is described. The first results of the photoaffinity
labeling study of human placenta ribosomes are presented.
