Chemical synthesis of branched RNA.

R Kierzek, D W Kopp, M Edmonds, M H Caruthers
PMCID: PMC311489  PMID: 2425338

Abstract

A branched tetranucleotide consisting of adenosine linked 2' and 5' to guanosine and 3' to cytidine was synthesized from appropriately protected nucleoside phosphoramidites as synthons. The product was characterized enzymatically.
