Please enquire. dInosine, dUridine and Universal Bases Degeneracy of the genetic code often complicates the design of primers and probes. Degenerated oligonucleotides can be synthesized using mixed positions, but it is only useful for a small number of sites. Deoxyinosine exhibits low but unequal hydrogen bonding to the other four bases. Universal base (5-nitroindole) does not discriminate between the four bases. The pyrimidine derivative P base pairs with A or G and the purine derivative K base pairs with C or T. dI dU dK dP dK+dP 5-nitroindole Pricing is per position in addition to basecharge. Tm Effects Incorporation of 5-Methyl-deoxyCytosine, N4-Ethyl-deoxyCytosine or 2-Amino-eoxy Adenosine(2.6-diaminopurine) at single or multiple positions within or as 5'-nucleotide of an oligonucleotide will result in some duplex effects. Replacement of dC with 5-Me-dC increases Tm with 1.3°C and dA with 2-amino-dA increases Tm with 3°C. Replacement of dC with N4-Et-dC decreases Tm with 2°C. 5-Me-dC 2-amino-dA N4-Et-dC Tm Effect +1.3 °C +3 °C -2 °C Methyl, Halogen and Sulfur Methylated, halogenated and sulfur-modified nucleotides can be incorporated at single or multiple positions of an oligonucleotide. 6-Me-dG N6-Me-dA O4-Me-dT Oligonucleotides with methylated nucleotides can be useful in studies of mutagenic effects. 8-Br-dA 8-Br-dG 5-Br-dC 5-Br-dU 5-I-dC 5-I-dU 5-F-dU Halogenated oligonucleotides are often used for crystallography and cross-linking studies of protein-DNA complexes. Halogenated nucleotides can be incorporated at single or multiple positions of an oligonucleotide. 6-Thio-dG 4-Thio-dT 2-Thio-dT 4-Thio-dU Sulfur-modified oligonucleotides are useful for photocrosslinking and photo labeling experiments. Amino Groups and Carboxy-dT Primary amines or carboxy-dT can be incorporated at single or multiple positions within or at 5' end of an oligonucleotide. Amino-C4 Amino-CX Amino-C2-T Amino-C6-dA Amino-C6-dC Amino-C6-dG Amino-C6-dT Amino TEG mdC Carboxy-T Internal Amino-C4 and -CX are incorporated on a propanediol linker in between the deoxyribophosphates in the oligonucleotide backbone. The Amino-CX is an amino group on a flexible 8 atomic linker on cyclohexane. Biotin Biotin can be incorporated at single or multiple positions within or at 5'end of an oligonucleotide. Internal Biotin-C4 and -CXS are incorporated on a propanediol and Biotin-TEG (triethylene glycol) on an ethanediol linker in between the deoxyribosephosphates in the oligonucleotide backbone. Biotin-CXS is an analog to Biotin-C4 in which case the butane linker is substituted with cyclohexane. Biotin-CXS Biotin-C4 Biotin-TEG Biotin-dT Fluorescent Dyes and Quenchers Incorporation of fluorescent dyes or quenchers at single or multiple positions within an oligonucleotide is possible on linkers in between the deoxyribophosphates in the oligonucleotide backbone or on dT.
