5'-Amino-5'-deoxyguanosine-5'-N-phosphoramidate (GNHP) was synthesised in four steps from guanosine. Its identity was confirmed using spectroscopic and kinetic studies. A chromatographic method for the purification of this unstable compound was developed. GNHP was found to initiate T7 RNAP promoted transcriptions to afford 5'-O3P-NH-RNA, which hydrolyses readily to yield 5'-H2N-RNA that can be conjugated to activated esters.

D002845 Chromatography Techniques used to separate mixtures of substances based on differences in the relative affinities of the substances for mobile and stationary phases. A mobile phase (fluid or gas) passes through a column containing a stationary phase of porous solid or liquid coated on a solid support. Usage is both analytical for small amounts and preparative for bulk amounts. Chromatographies
D003849 Deoxyguanosine A nucleoside consisting of the base guanine and the sugar deoxyribose.
D006151 Guanosine A purine nucleoside that has guanine linked by its N9 nitrogen to the C1 carbon of ribose. It is a component of ribonucleic acid and its nucleotides play important roles in metabolism. (From Dorland, 28th ed)
D012321 DNA-Directed RNA Polymerases Enzymes that catalyze DNA template-directed extension of the 3'-end of an RNA strand one nucleotide at a time. They can initiate a chain de novo. In eukaryotes, three forms of the enzyme have been distinguished on the basis of sensitivity to alpha-amanitin, and the type of RNA synthesized. (From Enzyme Nomenclature, 1992).
