Introduction

Types of Functional Nucleic Acids

Oligonucleotides are chemically synthesized from DNA phosphoramidite monomers. Briefly, activated phosphoramidite monomers are added in the 3' to 5' direction using a cyclical activation and blocking chemistry to obtain a DNA polymer linked by phosphodiester bonds.

Chemical synthesis is currently limited to oligonucleotides of about 200 nt in length.
