title: Synthesis of peptide-oligonucleotide phosphorothioate conjugates by convergent or stepwise solid-phase strategies.
abstract: A convergent strategy was employed to link eight 10-27-mer peptides to oligonucleotide phosphorothioates, resulting in twenty-six various conjugates. A stepwise synthesis strategy for the preparation of peptide-oligonucleotide phosphorothioate conjugates, employing Fmoc peptide chemistry, was developed and applied to the synthesis of four conjugates. Three of these conjugates contained either a 10 or 16-mer peptide, incorporating either 2 or 3 arginine residues, respectively.
