A new method for the formation of covalently linked DNA conjugates is
described. The method involves installation of a 5´-hydroxylamine
nucleophile onto synthetic DNA and condensation with a suitable electrophilic
carbonyl compound to form an oxime linkage. Various protection strategies for
the hydroxylamine group and their merits are discussed and the formation of an
oligonucleotide–peptide conjugate is described.
