A rapid method for the synthesis of oligodeoxynucleotides (ODNs) terminated
by 5'-amino-5'-deoxythymidine is described. A 3'- phosphorylated ODN (the
donor) is incubated in aqueous solution with 5'- amino- 5'-deoxythymidine
in the presence of N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)- N'-ethylcarbodiimide
hydrochloride (EDC), extending the donor by one residue via a
phosphoramidate bond. Template- directed ligation of the extended donor and
an acceptor ODN, followed by acid hydrolysis, yields the acceptor ODN
extended by a single 5'-amino-5'-deoxythymidine residue at its 5'terminus.
