title: Oligoribonucleotides with 2'-O-(tert-butyldimethylsilyl) groups.
abstract: The chemical synthesis of oligoribonucleotides on solid support is routinely performed via the phosphoramidite method. However, the additional 2-OH function of the ribofuranosyl sugar requires suitable protection during oligoribonucleotide synthesis. This unit describes methods for 2-OH protection using the TBDMS group.
