title: Synthesis of a photoresponsive alpha-dideoxyuridine triphosphate derivative.
abstract: The synthesis of a photoresponsive alpha-5-cyanovinyl- 2',3'-dideoxyuridine-5'-triphosphate (alpha dd(C)UTP) is described. A one-pot enzymatic synthesis of photoresponsive alpha-5-cyanovinyl-2',3'-dideoxyuridine (alpha dd(C)U) labeled ODNs with terminal deoxynucleotideyl transferase (TdT) would be a powerful tool for the development of modified long-chain DNA and branched DNA unable to be prepared by DNA synthesizer or enzymatic ligation.
