D. Tsou et al., LARGE-SCALE SYNTHESIZE OF OLIGORIBONUCLEOTIDES ON HIGH-LOADED POLYSTYRENE (HLP) SUPPORT, Nucleosides & nucleotides, 14(7), 1995, pp. 1481-1492
Large quantities of oligoribonucleotides (up to 200 mu mole) were synt
hesized on the high-loaded polystyrene (HLP) support with phosphoramid
ite nucleosides and 5-ethylthio-1H-tetrazole as activator. The HLP sup
port significantly reduces solvent and reagent consumption. RNA synthe
sized on HLP support at large scale was shown to have full biological
activity by a comparative ribozyme-substrate assay.
