Abstract

Improvements in the synthesis, deprotection and purification of oligoribonucleotides are described. These advances allow for reduced synthesis and deprotection times, while improving product yield. Coupling times are reduced by half using 5-ethylthio-1H-tetrazole (S-ethyltetrazole) as the activator. Base and 2'-O-t-butyldimethylsilyl deprotection with methylamine (MA) and anhydrous triethylamine/hydrogen fluoride in N-methylpyrrolidinone (TEA.HF/NMP), respectively, requires a fraction of the time necessitated by current standard methods. In addition, the ease of oligoribonucleotide purification and analysis have been significantly enhanced using anion exchange chromatography. These new methods improve the yield and quality of the oligoribonucleotides synthesized. Hammerhead ribozymes synthesized utilizing the described methods exhibited no diminution in catalytic activity.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
