We have developed a new alternative for enzymatic synthesis of single-stranded hypermodified oligodeoxyribonucleotides displaying four different hydrophobic groups based on reverse transcription from RNA templates catalyzed by DNA polymerases using a set of base-modified dNTPs followed by digestion of RNA by RNases. Using mixed oligodeoxyribonucleotide primers containing a ribonucleotide at the 3'-end, RNase AT1 simultaneously digested the template and cleaved off the primer to release a fully modified oligonucleotide that can be further 3'-labelled with a fluorescent nucleotide using TdT. The resulting hypermodified oligonucleotides could find applications in selection of aptamers or other functional macromolecules.
