  • Chemically modified nucleic acids and methods for coupling nucleic acids to solid support
    Patent number: 6048695
    Abstract: The invention relates to novel chemically modified nucleic acids with enhanced lability towards solid supports, such as glass. These modified nucleic acids can be readily affixed to solid supports, for instance, a glass surface, without first derivatizing the glass surface.
