Abstract
2′-5′-Adenosine linked nucleic acids are crucial components in living cells that play significant roles, including participating in antiviral defense mechanisms by facilitating the breakdown of viral genetic material. In this report, we present a chemical derivatization method employing 5-fluoro-2-pyridinoyl-imidazole as the acylation agent, a strategy that can be effectively combined with advanced analytical tools, including Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectroscopy and Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry, to enhance the characterization and detection capabilities. This marks the first instance of a simple method designed to detect 2′-5′-adenosine linked nucleic acids. The new method is characterized by its time-saving nature, simplicity, and relative accuracy compared to previous methods.
