Abstract

This study introduces a versatile method for coupling single-stranded DNA with small heterocyclic compounds, leveraging the reactivity of amino and carboxylic functional groups. By employing COMU and Collidine, BNIMZ and BNTZA were successfully coupled with poly-T DNA. The conjugation technique was successfully confirmed by high accuracy MALDI-TOF MS. This approach offers a reliable and efficient strategy for constructing DNA-conjugates with tailored properties.
