title: Total synthesis of a structural gene for the human peptide hormone angiotensin II.
abstract: Seven oligonucleotide chains containing between 6 and 11 nucleotide units were synthesized. The segments were phosphorylated by T4 polynucleotide 5'-hydroxyl-kinase and joined by T4 polynucleotide synthetase (ATP) to give the double-stranded DNA consisting of 33 base pairs. The DNA sequence was deduced from the known peptide sequence according to the genetic code.
