5-Me-dC-CE Phosphoramidite - (10-1060)

5'-Dimethoxytrityl-N-benzoyl-5-methyl-2'-deoxyCytidine,3'-[(2-cyanoethyl)-(N,N-diisopropyl)]-phosphoramidite
Description
C-5 methyl pyrimidine nucleosides are known to stabilize duplexes relative to the non-methylated bases.  Therefore, enhanced binding can be achieved using 5-methyl-dC in place of dC, duplex melting temperature being increased by 1.3°.  Ac-5-Me-dC-CE Phosphoramidite is fully compatible with AMA deprotection and none of the N4-Me transamination mutant is observed on deprotection.  2,6-Diaminopurine 2’-deoxyriboside (2-amino-dA) forms an additional hydrogen bond with Thymidine, thereby leading to duplex stabilization with a melting temperature increase of 3°.  Our 2-amino-dA monomer exhibits fast and effective deprotection in ammonium hydroxide and it is stabilized to depurination during synthesis.  Note: we recommend the use of 0.5 M CSO in anhydrous acetonitrile (40-4632-xx) for best results with multiple additions of 2-amino-dA.

Usage

  • Coupling: No changes needed from standard method recommended by synthesizer manufacturer.
  • Deprotection: No changes needed from standard method recommended by synthesizer manufacturer. Note: Deprotection in AMA (50:50 Ammonium hydroxide/MethylAmine) may result in a 4-5% 5-Methyl-N4-methyl-dC side product at the modification site.
