Abstract
Template-directed ligation of oligonucleotides by photochemical reaction has attracted much interest because of its biomedical and synthetic applications. In this study, we developed photoligaton of DNA by using a photoremovable protecting group and thiol-disulfide exchange reaction. A phosphoroamidite of o-nitrobenzyl derivatives were synthesized, and DNA modified with a nitrobenzyl-protected thiol group and disulfide group was synthesized by conventional phosphoroamidite chemistry using a DNA synthesizer. It was shown that photochemical reaction of a nitrobenzyl group with UV irradiation produced a free thiol group, leading to the DNA ligation through the thiol-disulfide exchange reaction.
