5. Incorporation of d-iso-C into the synthetic DNA molecules was verified by digestion of template samples (Eritja, R., et al. Nucl. Acids Res. 1986, 14, 8135). When this method was used, a small amount (ca. 15%) of dU was found to be present in the templates, presumably arising from the hydrolysis of d-iso-C under the alkaline conditions used for deprotecting the synthetic oligonucleotides.
