B. Greiner et E. Uhlmann, Conversion of unprotected amino-link oligonucleotides into their tetramethylguanidinium derivatives, NUCLEOS NUC, 18(6-7), 1999, pp. 1457-1458
The preparation of tetramethylguanidinium oligodeoxynucleotide (ODN) deriva
tives by reaction of the corresponding aminoalkyl-ODN with the uronium salt
s HBTU, TBTU or HATU, respectively, is described. The binding affinity of t
he new tetramethylguanidinium ODN derivatives was determined.
