MOST IMPORTANT MODIFICATIONS OF INTERNUCLEOTIDE LINKAGES ! !!
Peptide Nucleic Acids
Classical synthesis of genes (duplexes DNA) Synthesis of oligonucleotide fragments (20-40-mers, cohesive ends) 5’-Phospohorylation (enzymatic or chemical) Ligation – T4 DNA ligase
PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) Add primers complementary to flanking sequence Add all nucleoside triphosphates and thermostable DNA polymerase Heat 95°C 15s - strand separation Cool 54°C – hybridization Heat 72°C (optimal temp.) – DNA synthesis
