Jill and I recently were in Boston visiting our oldest son Cory. I e-mailed past W6 members in the area to see if they were interested in getting together. The yield was quantitative..what a privilege it has been to work with such an awesome group! @BaylorCBC @Baylor

A new way to make #oligonucleotides could open up opportunities in gene therapy. The platform uses phosphorus(V) reagents and can insert unusual phosphate linkages at will into DNA molecules and other nucleotide polymers. chemistryworld.com/news/meth…

Method to make unusual oligonucleotides could be a boon for gene ...

Synthesis can insert unusual linkages into DNA molecules while rivalling industry standard chemistry in speed and efficiency

The final version of this work has just appeared in @ScienceMagazine : science.org/doi/10.1126/scie… Stay tuned for a behind the scenes post on Open Flask as well as an outlook review on P(V) chemistry in general...
A P(V) platform for oligonucleotide synthesis

A P(V) platform for oligonucleotide synthesis

A unified, P(V)-based reagent platform enables the synthesis of oligonucleotides with diverse linkage chemistry.

In 2016, with @EastgateMartin and the @bmsnews team we set out to simplify the way Oligonucleotides therapeutics (OTs) are made. Access to a 3-10-3 LNA/DNA gapmer with 4 different P-linkages had pushed the limits of known chem. Today we report a solution: bit.ly/3a9FlV5
