Abstract/OtherAbstract:
It is challenging to effectively deprotect hydroxyl groups of acid-or-base sensitive bio-macromolecules without causing even minor defects and compromising high quality of final products. We report here a mild detritylation strategy in mildly acidic buffers to remove the DMTr protection from the 5'-hydroxyl groups of synthetic nucleic acids. The DMTr-groups can be easily and effectively removed at pH 4.5 or 5.0 with slight warming up (40 °C), offering virtually quantitative deprotection. This warming-up strategy is particularly useful for deprotection of the modified nucleic acids that are sensitive to the conventional acid deprotection. As a first step towards our long-term goal of synthesizing defect-free nucleic acids, our novel and simple strategy further increases the quality of synthetic nucleic acids.
