Abstract
[GRAPHICS] 5'-Deoxy-5'-thioguanosine 5' monophosphorothioate (GSMP) was synthesized in four steps with 35% overall yield, GSMP serves as a good substrate for in vitro transcription with T7 RNA polymerase to yield 5'-GSMP-RNA, which was converted to 5'-HS RNA by dephosphorylation with alkaline phosphatase. The thiol-reactive agents can be efficiently introduced into the 5'-terminus of RNA.
