Analysis of 2′-SCF3 modified RNA: anion-exchange
HPLC traces (top) of 14 nt RNA (A) and 32 nt RNA (B), and respective
LC-ESI mass spectra (bottom). HPLC conditions: Dionex DNAPac column
(4 × 250 mm), 80 °C, 1 mL min–1, 0 to
60% buffer B in 45 min. Buffer A: Tris-HCl (25 mM), urea (6 M), pH
8.0. Buffer B: Tris-HCl (25 mM), urea (6 M), NaClO4 (0.5
M), pH 8.0. For LC-ESI MS conditions, see the Supporting Information.
