Synthetic schemes and structures of photoreactive nucleotides and modified tRNA ligands. (A) Synthesis of 2-azido-2′-O-methyladenosine 3′,5′-bisphosphate (p2N32′OMeAp). (B) Synthesis of 2-azido-2′-deoxyadenosine 3′,5′-bisphosphate (p2N3dAp) and its final incorporation into the photoreactive transition-state analog (2N3dA76)tRNAPhe-p-Puro.
