Preparation of trinucleotide phosphoramidites as synthons for the synthesis of gene libraries

چکیده
The preparation of protein libraries is a key issue in protein engineering and biotechnology. Such libraries can be prepared by a variety of methods, starting from the respective gene library. The challenge in gene library preparation is to achieve controlled total or partial randomization at any predefined number and position of codons of a given gene, in order to obtain a library with a maximum number of potentially successful candidates. This purpose is best achieved by the usage of trinucleotide synthons for codon-based gene synthesis. We here review the strategies for the preparation of fully protected trinucleotides, emphasizing more recent developments for their synthesis on solid phase and on soluble polymers, and their use as synthons in standard DNA synthesis.

A new and convenient approach for the preparation of β-cyanoethyl protected trinucleotide phosphoramidites.
Herein we report a convenient approach for the preparation of fully protected trinucleotide synthons to be used for the synthesis of gene libraries. The trinucleotide synthons bear β-cyanoethyl groups at the phosphate residues, and thus can be used in standard oligonucleotide synthesis without additional steps for deprotection and work-up.

The chemical synthesis of DNA and RNA is universally carried out using nucleoside phosphoramidites or H-phosphonates as synthons. This review focuses on the phosphorus chemistry behind these synthons and how it has been developed to generate procedures whereby yields per condensation approach 100% with very few side products. Additionally the synthesis and properties of certain DNA and RNA anal...
متن کاملA general strategy for random insertion and substitution mutagenesis: substoichiometric coupling of trinucleotide phosphoramidites.
Results from a number of recent studies suggest that amino acid insertion mutations may provide an important alternative to substitution mutations for modifying protein structures and functional activities. To facilitate the use of single-amino acid insertions, we have developed a general strategy for inducing random, in-phase codon insertions across a defined segment of a cloned gene. In brief...
