E. Trevisiol et al., Fluorescent labelling of oligodeoxyribonucleotides by the oxyamino-aldehyde coupling reaction, NUCLEOS NUC, 19(9), 2000, pp. 1427-1439
We describe the reaction of oligonucleotides containing an aldehydic group
at the 5'-end or inside the sequence with an oxyamino label. The reaction w
as found to be highly selective and represents an efficient method for deri
vatization of oligonucleotides.
