Application Description
Summary of Modified Deoxy Amidites & Supports:
During the last couple of decades, plethora of novel structurally modified nucleic acid analogs have been introduced1 to developed probes that act as potent & selected nucleic acid based therapeutics & diagnostics2. In addition to this, these probes have also showed potential application molecular biology3 & Nanotechnology4 research and development. Incorporation of modified purines and pyrimidines has been utilized to optimize DNA-protein interactions and sequence recognition for many proteins and enzymes such as repressor proteins, restriction endonucleases, modification enzymes, and promoters.5,6
