The invention discloses a gRNA (guide Ribonucleic Acid) synthesis method which comprises the following steps: step 1,
solid-
phase synthesis circulation: loading a
solid-phase carrier into a synthesis column, then carrying out four-step circulation of deprotection,
coupling, oxidation and cap reaction, and sequentially connecting
nucleotide monomers to form a gRNA chain; step 2, post-treatment: after
solid-
phase synthesis is completed,
cutting the gRNA strand from a solid-phase carrier and removing a
protecting group, and then purifying and freeze-
drying to obtain a gRNA product; wherein the
nucleotide monomer is a
phosphoramidite monomer with a
protecting group at the 2'position of a
sugar ring, and in the
coupling reaction, the
phosphoramidite monomer and an activating agent are mixed and activated in an
organic solvent and then react with free hydroxyl on a solid-phase carrier. According to the method provided by the invention, the steric hindrance of molecules in the
coupling process is effectively reduced, the
coupling efficiency is greatly improved by selecting a proper activating agent and optimizing the adding proportion of the activating agent, the purity and the yield of the gRNA crude product are further improved, the HPLC (
High Performance Liquid Chromatography) purity of the crude product is greater than 30%, and the large-scale production and development of the gRNA are facilitated.
