A simple solid-phase synthesis of the ubiquitous bacterial signaling molecule, c-di-GMP and analogues

Irene Kiburu, Andrew Shurer, Lei Yan and Herman O. Sintim


Cyclic-di-guanylate (c-di-GMP) has emerged as a general and important signaling molecule uniquely present in bacteria: herein we provide a simple solid-phase synthesis of c-di-GMP using an automated DNA synthesizer for the majority of the synthesis.
