Covalent modification and surface immobilization of nucleic acids via the Diels-Alder bioconjugation method.
The importance of chemically modified and surface immobilized nucleic acids has inspired the development of a wide variety of complementary techniques for covalent oligonucleotide preparation and immobilization. We are developing technology based on the use of a Diels-Alder reaction for accomplishing the covalent modification of oligonucleotides. Reported herein is preliminary progress toward the establishment of robust reagents for introducing the reactive functionality, as well as studies employing the BIACORE system to demonstrate surface immobilization by the method.
