Propargylethoxyamino nucleosides are disclosed having the structure

Propargylethoxyamino nucleotide primer extensions

Nucleotide compounds including a rigid linker

A nucleoside/tide compound having the structure

Propargylethoxyamino nucleosides are disclosed having the structure ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are --H, lower alkyl, or label; B is a 7-deazapurine, purine, or pyrimidine nucleoside base; W.sub.1 is --H or --OH; W.sub.2 is --OH or a moiety which renders the nucleoside incapable of forming a phosphodiester bond at the 3'-position; and W.sub.3 is --PO.sub.4, --P.sub.2 O.sub.7, --P.sub.3 O.sub.10, phosphate analog, or --OH. Additionaly, a primer extension method is provided employing the above propargylethoxyamino nucleosides.

Propargylethoxyamino nucleotides

Methods and apparatus are disclosed for improved mapping and sequencing of carbohydrate polymers. In one aspect, the improvement includes a means for coupling two capillary electrophoresis (CE) tubes in such a way so as to (i) efficiently transfer a selected sample component from a first CE capillary to a second CE capillary or, (ii) introduce a supplementary reagent into the separation path between the two capillaries, e.g., an internal standard, binding agent, enzyme, and the like. In an additional aspect, the invention includes improved apparatus and methods for electrophoresis of labeled carbohydrates in which a sample carbohydrate labeled with a first label is separated by CE and its migration behavior is compared with an internal standard labeled with one or more second labels which are distinguishable from the first label. In yet another aspect, the invention includes improved method and apparatus for sequencing carbohydrates in which a sample mixture is separated in a first CE dimension, a component of the sample mixture is selected, the selected component is incubated with an enzyme reagent, the reaction products are separated in a second CE dimension, the electrophoretic behavior of the reaction products is correlated with the known specificity of the enzyme reagent, and the process is repeated to determine the complete sequence of the carbohydrate sample.

Substituted propargylethoxyamido nucleosides are disclosed having the structure ##STR1## wherein X is selected from the group consisting of amino alkanoic acid, alkylamino benzoic acid, .alpha.-amino acid, and 4-amino-2-butynoic acid. R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 taken separately are selected from the group consisting of --H, lower alkyl, protecting group, and label; R.sub.3 is selected from the group consisting of --H and lower alkyl. B is a 7-deazapurine, purine, or pyrimidine nucleoside base. When B is purine or 7-deazapurine, the sugar moiety is attached at the N.sup.9 -position of the purine or deazapurine, and when B is pyrimidine, the sugar moiety is attached at the N.sup.1 -position of the pyrimidine. When B is a purine, the adjacent triple-bonded carbon is attached to the 8-position of the purine, when B is 7-deazapurine, the adjacent triple-bonded carbon is attached to the 7-position of the 7-deazapurine, and when B is pyrimidine, the adjacent triple-bonded carbon is attached to the 5-position of the pyrimidine. W.sub.1 is selected from the group consisting of --H and --OH. W.sub.2 is --OH or a moiety which renders the nucleoside incapable of forming a phosphodiester bond at the 3'-position. W.sub.3 is selected from the group consisting of --PO.sub.4, --P.sub.2 O.sub.7, --P.sub.3 O.sub.10, phosphate analog, and --OH. Additionaly, a primer extension method is provided employing the above X-substituted propargylethoxyamido nucleosides, and polynucleotides including the above X-substituted propargylethoxyamido nucleosides is provided.
