Abstract:
A 22-mer target DNA pTGCCTGGAGCTGCTTGATGCCC (I) was modified by a dodecadeoxyribonucleotide reagent GCATCAAGCAGCp[N(CH3)CH2RCl] (II) containing a 3'-terminal alkylating group (RCl = -C6H4N(CH3)(CH2CH2Cl). An anomalous, bell-shaped temperature dependence of the maximum extent of the modification was found. Based on the analysis of the kinetic scheme of the modification, a possible explanation for this experimental fact is given.
