A. Guy et al., THE SYNTHESIS OF 5-HYDROXY-5-METHYLHYDANTOIN NUCLEOSIDE AND ITS INSERTION INTO OLIGODEOXYRIBONUCLEOTIDES, Tetrahedron letters, 34(50), 1993, pp. 8101-8102
5-hydroxy-5-methylbydantoin is a nucleobase lesion induced by the acti
on of ionizing radiation on thymine residue in DNA. The protected nucl
eoside cyanoethyldiisopropylphosphoramidite has been synthesized and u
sed to prepare chemical DNA fragments containing 5-hydroxy-5-methylhyd
antoin moieties.
