A new protocol has been described for solid phase preparation of 30- and 50-aminooxylalkylated oligonucleotides using commercially available reagents. This involves attachment of linker 4 either with an LCAA-CPG support via succinoylation followed by synthesis (30-aminooxyalkylated oligomers) or formation of its phosphoramidite 6 followed by coupling with desired oligomer (for generating 50-aminooxyalkylated oligomers). Both the routes produced modified oligonucleotides in sufficiently high yields and purity (on HPLC) via conventional oligonucleotide synthesis on an automated synthesizer and deprotection step using aqueous ammonia (16 h, 60C). Aminooxyalkylated oligonucleotides were used to construct microarrays on glass surface (biochips). The performance of the biochips was evaluated by immobilizing modified oligonucleotides on epoxylated glass microslides under different sets of conditions with respect to pH, temperature and time. Further, the constructed microarrays were successfully used for detection of nucleotide mismatches and bacterial typhoid.
