Phosphoramidite building blocks with protected nitroxides for the synthesis of spin-labeled DNA and RNA

TEMPO spin labels protected with 2-nitrobenzyloxymethyl groups were attached to the amino residues of three different nucleosides: deoxycytidine, deoxyadenosine, and adenosine. The corresponding phosphoramidites could be incorporated by unmodified standard procedures into four different self-complem...
