摘要：A rapid chemical procedure has been developed and used for the synthesis of 29 oligodeoxyribonucleotides to build synthetic genes for human insulin. The gene for insulin B chain, 104 base pairs, and the one for A chain, 77 base pairs, were designed from the amino acid sequence of human polypeptides. They bear single-stranded cohesive termini for the EcoRI and BamHI restriction endonucleases and are designed to be inserted separately into a pBR322 plasmid. The synthetic fragments, deca- to pentadecanucleotides, were synthesized by a block phosphotriester method with trinucleotides as building blocks. Final purification was by high-performance liquid chromatography. All 29 oligonucleotides were pure and had the correct sequences.
