Oligonucleotide substrates

Duplex Sequencea Specification
HP 5′-CTTCGCAGTACGCCpGGGCAATAACGCACGT\ A hairpin substrate with a single BcnI recognition sequence.b
3′-GAAGCGTCATGCGGCpCCGTTATTGCGTGAT/
30/30 5′-CTTCGCAGTACGCCpGGGCAATAACGCACGT-3′ Same as HP, but lacks the hairpin loop. Was used as unlabeled trap DNA.
3′-GAAGCGTCATGCGGCpCCGTTATTGCGTGCA-5′
G-nick 5′-CTTCGCAGTACGCCGGGCAATAACGCACGT-3′ As 30/30, except for the nick in the scissile position of the G-strand (designated by a gap).c
3′-GAAGCGTCATGCGGCpCCGTTATTGCGTGCA-5′
C-nick 5′-CTTCGCAGTACGCCpGGGCAATAACGCACGT-3′ As 30/30, except for the nick in the scissile position of the C-strand (designated by a gap).c
3′-GAAGCGTCATGCGGCCCGTTATTGCGTGCA-5′
GG /TAGCAGTACGCC*GGGCAACGCCpGGGCAATAACGCA-3′ A hairpin substrate that carries two BcnI sites in direct repeat orientation. The internal 33P label is designated by *.
\TGCGTCATGCGGCpCCGTTGCGGCpCCGTTATTGCGT-5′

aThe BcnI recognition sequences are underlined; scissile positions are designated by ‘p’.

bThe HP substrate carried a radiolabel either at the 5′ or the 3′ terminus.

cThe G-nick and the C-nick substrates carried a radiolabel at the 5′ terminus of the 30 nt strand and a 5′-terminal phosphate at the position of the nick.
