Preparation of modified oligonucleotides by nicking enzyme amplification reaction
Ménová, Petra ; Hocek, Michal
A method for the enzymatic synthesis of short (10-22 nt) base-modified oligonucleotides was developed, based on the nicking enzyme amplification reaction. The methodology, including product isolation and purification, was scaled up to nanomolar amounts. The modified oligonucleotides were successfully used as primers in primer extension and PCR, affording primer-modified oligonucleotides and DNA. Two simple and efficient methods for fluorescent labelling of the PCR products were also developed.

Polymerase synthesis of base-modified DNA: New methods and new applications
Balintová, Jana ; Daďová, Jitka ; Kielkowski, Pavel ; Ménová, Petra ; Vaníková, Zuzana ; Riedl, Jan ; Raindlová, Veronika ; Fojta, Miroslav ; Hocek, Michal
Diverse base-modified oligonucleotides and double-stranded DNA molecules were prepared by polymerase incorporation of modified nucleoside triphosphates. The methods include primer extension, PCR, nicking enzyme amplification reaction and mixed incorporations. The modified nucleic acids were used in redox and fluorescence labelling and coding, as well as regulation of binding and cross-linking with proteins.
