2-Deoxyribose Abasic Phosphoramidite

2-Deoxyribose Abasic Phosphoramidite

2-Deoxyribose Abasic Phosphoramidite, BULK (g), Glass Screw-Top

Phosphoramidite for the incorporation of an 2-deoxyribose abasic spacer internally or at the 5' end of an oligonucleotide.

Key features

Show Hide
  • Incorporates a single sugar spacer internally or at 5' end an oligonucleotide
  • Useful where the base at a specific site is unknown, or to mimic abasic sites
  • Useful in the study of mutations resulting from depurination
  • Advantageous over the flexible C3 spacer since incorporation of this modifier sits directly into the natural sugar-phosphate backbone with no adverse effect

Product information

In general terms, a spacer is introduced into an oligonucleotide to add distance between the oligonucleotide and a modifier. This reduces the possibility of any adverse interaction between the modifier and the sequence. For instance, G-rich sequences are known to quench fluorescein therefore the use of a suitable spacer will remove the dye label from the proximity of the oligonucleotide minimising the quenching effect.
Although useful where the base at a specific site is unknown, the flexibility of a C3 alkyl chain distorts the sugar-phosphate backbone. This can be alleviated with the use of dSpacer (LK2146/BA0033) since incorporation of this modifier sits directly into the natural sugar-phosphate backbone with no adverse effect. This modifier mimics abasic sites(1) and is useful in the study of mutations resulting from depurination. Similarly, we offer the 2-deoxy (BA0333) and rSpacer (BA0248) analogues for related studies.
