Magic spot nucleotides: tunable target-specific chemoenzymatic synthesis

Chem Commun (Camb). 2019 May 10;55(37):5339-5342. doi: 10.1039/c9cc01688k. Epub 2019 Apr 11.

Abstract

A tunable chemoenzymatic strategy provides access to the entire class of magic spot nucleotides and modified analogues. The approach combines chemoselective bisphosphorylations using phosphoramidites with regioselective ribonuclease T2 cyclo-phosphate hydrolysis, leading to flexible and simple gram-scale operations.
