Nucleoside
Oligonucleotides Nucleotide
Structure of
Nitrogenous bases
Oligos= few
Short stretches of single
stranded DNA or RNA
molecules
Sugar + Nitrogenous

Nucleoside + Phosphate
ADENINE CYTOSİNE THYMİNE
GUANİNE
Synthesis of oligonucleotides by phosphoramidite method
5’--> Dimethoxytrityl (DMT)
3’--> Diisopropylamine
Nitrogenous bases
(Except T)-->Benzoyl group
3’--> 2-Cyanoethane

Discovery
MAJOR STEPS IN SYNTHESIS
Unreacted 3’ OH
Acetic anhydride
Unstable- Phosphite triester
bond to Phosphate triester
Stable- bond
İodine + Pyridine
Removal of DMT
Activation of 3’
Trichloroacetic acid

1 Linking 1st
NUCLEOSIDE
TO THE COLUMN
● Controlled pore glass (CPG)
- Rigid & non-swelling → deep pores
- Prefered for short oligos
- <40 → blocks the pores and reduces diffusion
● Polystyrene
- Highly cross-linked polystyrene beads
- Good moisture & exclusion properties
- Small scale (e.g. 40 nmol)
2 DETRITYLATION
TCA
Wash with
acetonitrile
Flush with
Ar
3 ACTIVATION & COUPLING
Tetrazole
3 COUPLİNG
4 CAPPİNG
The 5’ end
using acetic
anhydride and
dimethyl
aminopyridine
Deletion mutation:- Sequence of the correct oligonucleotide (top); and a failure sequence
(bottom) containing a deletion mutation, corresponding to the deletion of the thymine base at
position 6
Why do we need to cap the unreacted linked nucleosides?

POST SYNTHESIS MODIFICATIONS
OVERVIEW
Coupling Efficiency Determination
Cleavage of trityl group → resultant orange
solution Absorbance at 495 nm is measured in a
UV/visible spectrophotometer.
Eg. Efficiency= 99% at each cycle 20-unit oligonucleotide
19 coupling reactions
0.9919
× 100= 83% of the product will be 20 nucleotides
long.
For 60-mer is synthesized with 99% efficiency at each
cycle

USES OF
OLIGONUCLEOTIDES
01
Easily automated
Impurities & excess
reagents are washed
away - x purification after
each step
.
Economical
Advantages
Excess reagents-
Quick completion
Poor yield-
Increasing chain
length
Monitoring
coupling efficiency
Disadvantages
