Solid‐Phase Supports for Oligonucleotide Synthesis

This unit begins with a discussion of the advantages and disadvantages of oligonucleotide synthesis using solid supports. The physical and chemical properties of solid‐phase supports are discussed in terms of their suitability for oligonucleotide synthesis. In addition, the unit outlines the properties of linkers used for transient or permanent attachment of properly protected nucleosides to the derivatized support, as well as strategies for coupling nucleosides to linkers and conditions for the release of synthetic oligonucleotides from specific supports.Peer Reviewedhttps://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/143613/1/cpnc0301.pd

Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis (PAGE) of Synthetic Nucleic Acids

Protocols are given for analysis of oligonucleotides by PAGE, using either methylene blue staining or radiolabeling to mark the oligonucleotide. In addition, a separate protocol is provided for purification by PAGE.Peer Reviewedhttps://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/153009/1/cpnc1004.pd
