The solutions containing oligonucleotide conjugates 4a-4c were treated with concentrated NH, OH to remove the protecting groups, and then diluted with H, O and Iyophilized. The crude products were purified directly by polyacrylamide geI electrophoresis (PAGE). Typically the major band (see Experimental Section for method of detection) corresponded to the desired conjugates; for a two-arm 12-mer (24 nt) that band was just below that of xylyl-cyanol (XC, 20% denatured PAGE, corresponding to approximately a 28-mer) while bands of the two-arm 14-and 16-mers (28 and 32 nt) ran above that of XC. After denaturing gel electrophoresis, the desired bands were cut and eluted in H, O, desalted either by C18 reverse-phase chromatography or filtration to yield pure products. The structures of the conjugates were confirmed by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI) mass spe~ trometry.[’~] Native PAGE was used to characterize the hybridized products from the oligonucleotide conjugates. The purified two-arm self-complementary oligonucleotide conjugates 4a-4c formed distinct “ladders” of bands, which ranged in size continuously from 24 base-pairs to 98 base-pairs. Conjugate 4b, which consists of a 12-mer selfcomplementary oligonucleotide segment to which two additional thymine (T) residues were attached, gave a relatively clean “ladder”, in which at least eight bands are clearly discernible (Figure 3).
