Abstract
The Cu(I)?catalyzed alkyne?azide cycloaddition (CuAAC) reaction has been used to synthesize cyclic mini?DNA duplexes. The reaction is carried out on 5??alkyne?3??azide?labeled hairpin loop oligonucleotides and proceeds in high yield under mild conditions in as little as 5 min. The resultant duplexes have very high thermal stability and their CD spectra are characteristic of normal B?DNA. Curr. Protoc. Nucleic Acid Chem. 35:4.33.1?4.33.21. © 2008 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Figure 4.33.6 Mixed injection of equal quantities of purified hairpin loop (H) and cyclic (C) oligonucleotides on capillary electrophoresis. Cyclization of the hairpin loop to give the corresponding cyclic oligonucleotide was confirmed by injection (0.2 OD/100 µL) of each sample individually followed by mixed injection of both samples. ssDNA 100‐R gel, Tris/borate/7 M urea were used (kit no. 477480) on a Beckman Coulter P/ACE MDQ Capillary Electrophoresis System using 32 Karat software, using the following parameters: UV: 254 nm, injection voltage: 10.0 kV, and separation voltage: 9.0 kV (45.0 min duration).

Melting curves were measured on Cary 400 Scan UV‐Visible Spectrophotometer (Varian) at 5 to 7 µM oligonucleotide in 10 mM phosphate buffer/200 mM NaCl, pH 7.0, to which increasing amounts of formamide were added. Spectra were recorded at 272 nm. T m values were calculated using Cary Win UV Thermal application Software. Reprinted from El‐Sagheer et al. () with permission. View Image -
Figure 4.33.11 CD spectra of cyclic oligonucleotides. Spectra were measured on a Jasco J‐720 spectropolarimeter at 5.0 µM oligonucleotide in 10 mM phosphate buffer/200 mM NaCl, pH 7.0. Spectra were recorded at 100 nm/min with a response time of 1 sec and a bandwidth of 1 nm. A buffer baseline was subtracted from each spectrum to give zero ellipticity at 320 nm.
