摘 要: | A DNA duplex coding for the 27 amino acids of secretin has been synthesized and cloned. Indesigning the sequence of the gene, computer analysis has been applied. The following factors have beenconsidered: selection of codon usage in favour of expression in yeast; design of various sites useful ingene cloning, gene modification and expressed product purification; avoiding the repeat sequences whichmay interfere in the ligation of the synthetic fragments. The synthesis involved preparation of 12 oligo-deoxyribonucleotides (12-mer to 24-mer in length) by phosphate triester and phosphite triester method,purification by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE). A new plasmid pWS1 was constructed by inser-tion of the enzymatic ligated gene fragment into plasmid pWR13.
