Cyanoethyl-protected phosphotriester links in oligonucleotides made with standard pophosporamidite chemistry were converted to pbosphoramidate linkages during oligonucleotide synthesis on solid support. The cyanoethyl group was removed with piperidine, and the resulting phosphodiester was activated with p-tosyl chloride. An amine nucleophile displaced the tosyl to yield a phosphoramidate linkage.
A procedure, called PBR (phase-bias reduction), has been developed to properly refine heavy-atom derivatives and to generate less biased heavy-atom phases when these derivatives contain common heavy-atom sites. Two independent events are obtained by splitting the refinement and phasing calculations into two stages, the first in which one of the derivatives having common sites is used together with the native amplitudes and the second in which both derivatives with common sites are used simultaneously, with one of them being used as the native data set. Improved centroid phases and the corresponding figures of merit are obtained by phase combination. This procedure has been used in the structure determination of the iron-cluster-containing protein -pyruvate-ferredoxin oxidoreductase. When the common heavy-atom sites are properly treated by the PBR procedure, the resulting calculated centroid phases are improved with respect to classical heavy-atom refinement centroid phases where all derivatives are refined together. This leads to improved electron-density distributions, since anomalous difference Fourier maps calculated with the PBR-refined centroid phases and corresponding figures of merit show more clearly the positions of the iron sites.
