RESUMO
The divergent synthesis of branched DNA (bDNA) comb structures is described. This new type of bDNA contains one unique oligonucleotide, the primary sequence, covalently attached through a comb-like branch network to many identical copies of a different oligonucleotide, the secondary sequence. The bDNA comb structures were assembled on a solid support and several synthesis parameters were investigated and optimized. The bDNA comb molecules were characterized by polyacrylamide gel electrophoretic methods and by controlled cleavage at periodate-cleavable moieties incorporated during synthesis. The developed chemistry allows synthesis of bDNA comb molecules containing multiple secondary sequences. In the accompanying article we describe the synthesis and characterization of large bDNA combs containing all four deoxynucleotides for use as signal amplifiers in nucleic acid quantification assays.
