Abstract

An enzymatic synthesis of nucleosides selectively deuterated in the deoxyribose ring is described. The method is illustrated with the synthesis of 2′-deoxyguanosine-2′, 2′-d2 and thymidine-2′, 2‘-d2. The availability of such specifically labeled nucleosides enables the motional characteristics of the deoxyribose ring to be investigated with deuterium NMR spectroscopy in solution and the solid state.
