Catalog Number: 10-1006-xx
Description: Etheno-dA-CE Phosphoramidite5'-Dimethoxytrityl-etheno-deoxyAdenosine3'-[(2-cyanoethyl)- (N,N-diisopropyl)]-phosphoramidite | | Formula: C42H48N7O6P | M.W.: 777.86 | F.W.: 337.23 |
Diluent: Anhydrous Acetonitrile | | Coupling: No changes needed from standard method recommended by synthesizer manufacturer. The use of UltraMILD monomers are preferred. (Catalog Numbers: dA: 10-1601-xx, dC: 10-1015-xx, dG: 10-1621-xx, dT: 10-1030-xx). To avoid any exchange of the iPr-Pac group on the dG with acetyl, use the UltraMild Cap Mix A (40-4210-xx/ 40-4212-xx). | | Deprotection: If UltraMILD reagents were used, deprotect in 0.05M Potassium Carbonate in Methanol for 4 hours at Room Temperature OR for 2 hours at hours in 30% Ammonium Hydroxide. If standard bases were used, deprotection in Ammonium Hydroxide at Room Temperature for 24-36 hours will give acceptable yields. | | Storage: Refrigerated storage, maximum of 2-8°C, dry | | Stability in Solution: 1-2days |

Frequently Asked Technical QuestionQUESTION: Can Etheno-dA be substituted for dA in a sequencing or PCR primer . What is the best method for cleavage/deprotection of oligos containing Etheno-dA. What are the excitation/emmision wavelengths for oligos containing etheno-dA.? RESPONSE:Due to the structure of the 1, N6 etheno structure etheno dA will not base-pair with T or dU. For this reason oligonucleotides with etheno-dA in the middle or 3'-end will not act as PCR or sequencing primers. However if located at or near the 5''-end etheno-dA can be incorporated one or more times and still act as an effective sequencing or PCR primer (1). Etheno-dA is somewhat labile to NH4OH so it is best to use base labile protecting groups such as Pac dA, isopropyl-Pac-dG and Ac-dC and either deprotect with K2CO3:MeOH, 4 hr. at RT. or NH4OH 4 hr. at RT.. If using standard protecting groups use mild deprotection conditions (0.4 M Methanolic NaOH; MeOH:H2O, 4:1) 17 hr. at room temperature. |
