Abstract
The synthesis of modified oligodeoxyribonucleotidesFootnote# containing 2′-amino-2′-deoxyarabinoadenosine residues (aAn) was carried out by means of the standard phosphoramidite chemistry. A high reactivity of such compounds to electrophilic reagents was shown. The cross-link formation between 2′-amino group of aAn and carboxyl function introduced into complementary strands occurs with 55% yield. The aAn residues was shown to induce the increased resistance of modified oligomers towards the enzymatic cleavage and provide the insignificant destabilization of DNA duplexes.
