Replacement of a non-bridging oxygen in the phosphate diester bond by a sulfur has become quite popular in nucleic acid research and is often used as a probe, for example, in ribozymes, where the normally essential Mg2+ is partly replaced by a
Acid-base and metal-ion binding properties of the RNA dinucleotide uridylyl-(5′→3′)-[5′]uridylate (pUpU3-)

It is well known that Mg2+ and other divalent metal ions bind to the phosphate groups of nucleic acids. Subtle differences in the coordination properties of these metal ions to RNA, especially to ribozymes, determine whether they either promote
Facile methods to recycle nucleosides during solid phase synthesis of oligonucleotides
Brill, Wolfgang K.-D.
, p. 3041 - 3044 (2007/10/02)
Solid phase syntheses of oligonucleotides, using nucleoside phosphoramidites or methylphosphonamidites require a large excess of nucleoside monomers over the hydroxy functions of the growig oligonucleotide chain bound onto the solid phase. The outlined method allows to recover the excess nucleosides. All the protective groups on the sugar and the nucleobase of the monomers are maintained throughout the recycling process.
