Onconase: an unusually stable protein.
Several members of the RNase A superfamily are endowed with antitumor activity, showing selective cytotoxicity toward tumor cell lines. One of these is onconase, the smallest member of the superfamily, which at present is undergoing phase-III clinical trials as an antitumor drug. Our investigation focused on other interesting features of the enzyme, such as its unusually high denaturation tempe...
متن کاملProtonated pyrimidine-purine-purine triplex
We have studied a protonated pyrimidine-purine-purine (Py-Pu-Pu) triplex, which is formed between the d(C)nd(G)n duplex and the d(AG)m oligonucleotide as the third strand and carries the CG*A+ protonated base-triads. We have observed such an intermolecular complex between a plasmid carrying the d(C)18 d(G)18 insert and the d(AG)5 oligonucleotide without bivalent cations in 200 mM of Na+ at pH4....
متن کاملUnusually stable helix formation in short alanine-based peptides.
Short, 16-residue, alanine-based peptides show stable alpha-helix formation in H2O. This result is surprising when contrasted with the classical view that regards the alpha-helix as a marginally stable structure in H2O and considers short helices unstable. The alanine-based peptides are solubilized by insertion of three or more residues of a single charge type, lysine (+) or glutamic acid (-). ...
متن کاملBis-trimethylsilylcefamandole: an unusually stable trimethylsilyl-intermediate.
The preparation of crystalline bis-trimethylsilylcefamandole (7) and its utility in the preparation and purification of cefamandole are described. Although stable to solvolysis in isopropyl alcohol, 7 underwent smooth conversion to cefamandole in the presence of water, methanol, or ethanol.
متن کاملChemical modification of triplex-forming oligonucleotide to promote pyrimidine motif triplex formation at physiological pH.
Extreme instability of pyrimidine motif triplex DNA at physiological pH severely limits its use in wide variety of potential applications, such as artificial regulation of gene expression, mapping of genomic DNA, and gene-targeted mutagenesis in vivo. Stabilization of pyrimidine motif triplex at physiological pH is, therefore, crucial for improving its potential in various triplex-formation-bas...
