Site-specific acetyl modification of 2′-OH of RNA by an oligonucleotide acetylating reagent†
Abstract
The method for a site-specific RNA acetylation using a novel oligonucleotide acetylating probe (Ac-probe) has been developed. It was confirmed that the acetyl group was site-specifically introduced to a 2′-OH of the sugar part of the target RNA via the formation of the RNA-probe duplex.
