The chemical syntheses of the dodecanucleotide, d(G-C-C-G-C-T-C-G-G-G-A-A), the decanucleotides, d(T-T-T-A-G-A-G-T-C-T), d(G-C-T-C-C-C-T-T-T-G), d(C-G-G-C-C-A-A-A-G-G), and the nonanucleotide, d(G-A-G-C-A-G-A-C-T), are described. The deoxypolynucleotides together represent the DNA duplex corresponding to the nucleotide sequence 47-78 of the gene for the tyrosine suppressor tRNA. Chemical syntheses used protected mono- and oligonucleotides and stepwise condensation methods. The detailed plans used are given in Diagrams 1 to 4 in the text. Two additional notable features in the present syntheses were: (a) solvent extraction procedures for the preparation of oligonucleotides as large as pentanucleotides and (b) the demonstration that a heptanucleotide containing 5'-phosphate group can be used successfully in condensation with the 3'-OH group of another oligonucleotide. The synthetic polynucleotides were purified and characterized at protected and unprotected levels.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D011089 Polydeoxyribonucleotides A group of 13 or more deoxyribonucleotides in which the phosphate residues of each deoxyribonucleotide act as bridges in forming diester linkages between the deoxyribose moieties. Polydeoxyribonucleotide
D004269 DNA, Bacterial Deoxyribonucleic acid that makes up the genetic material of bacteria. Bacterial DNA
D004926 Escherichia coli A species of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria (GRAM-NEGATIVE FACULTATIVELY ANAEROBIC RODS) commonly found in the lower part of the intestine of warm-blooded animals. It is usually nonpathogenic, but some strains are known to produce DIARRHEA and pyogenic infections. Pathogenic strains (virotypes) are classified by their specific pathogenic mechanisms such as toxins (ENTEROTOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI), etc. Alkalescens-Dispar Group,Bacillus coli,Bacterium coli,Bacterium coli commune,Diffusely Adherent Escherichia coli,E coli,EAggEC,Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli,Enterococcus coli,Diffusely Adherent E. coli,Enteroaggregative E. coli,Enteroinvasive E. coli,Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli

D012343 RNA, Transfer The small RNA molecules, 73-80 nucleotides long, that function during translation (TRANSLATION, GENETIC) to align AMINO ACIDS at the RIBOSOMES in a sequence determined by the mRNA (RNA, MESSENGER). There are about 30 different transfer RNAs. Each recognizes a specific CODON set on the mRNA through its own ANTICODON and as aminoacyl tRNAs (RNA, TRANSFER, AMINO ACYL), each carries a specific amino acid to the ribosome to add to the elongating peptide chains.
