The reaction between thiols and 8-azidoadenosine derivatives

I L Cartwright, D W Hutchinson, V W Armstrong

    Nucleic Acids Research
    |September 1, 1976
    PubMed
    Summary

    Thiols readily convert 8-azidoadenosine and its nucleotides into 8-aminoadenosine derivatives at room temperature. This base-catalyzed reaction is accelerated by dithiols like dithiothreitol.
