Protected Nucleosides (130)

Protected nucleosides are primarily utilized in the synthesis of nucleic acids and their derivatives for chemical and biological research. Protecting groups serve to shield the reactive groups of nucleosides (such as hydroxyl and amino groups) from unwanted reactions during chemical processes, thereby enhancing the selectivity and efficiency of the synthesis. They play a crucial role in nucleic acid synthesis, including DNA and RNA synthesis, by ensuring that specific reaction steps do not compromise the integrity of the already synthesized segments.
