Abstract The fluorescent nucleoside 2-pyrimidinone-1-β-d-riboside (4H C) has been incorporated into oligoribonucleotides using standard cyanoethyl phosphoramidite methods. This base provides a useful probe for the exocyclic amino function in cytidine. Cleavage of hammerhead ribozymes using GCGCCGAAACACCGUGUCUCGAGC as the substrate and GGCUCGA [4H C] UGAUGAGGCGC as a modified ribozyme resulted in a cleavage rate ...
