Sodium Oxane-4-Sulfinate

Sodium oxane-4-sulfinate is a sulfinate molecule that has been used as a reagent for modifying nucleic acids. Sodium oxane-4-sulfinate reacts with nucleic acid molecules to generate acid molecules, which can be cleaved by nuclease. It can also react with nucleobases to form nucleotide sulfinates and modify the chemical structure of the nucleic acid molecule. This chemical modification of DNA leads to changes in the base pairing properties of the DNA, which can be useful for screening or detecting specific sequences of DNA. The reaction of sodium oxane-4-sulfinate with RNA results in cleavage at the phosphate group, leading to a truncated RNA molecule.
