G-triplex structure and formation propensity
The occurrence of a G-triplex folding intermediate of thrombin binding aptamer (TBA) has been recently predicted by metadynamics calculations, and experimentally supported by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), Circular Dichroism (CD) and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) data collected on a 3' end TBA-truncated 11-mer oligonucleotide (11-mer-3'-t-TBA). Here we present the solution structur...
متن کاملSpecificity and stringency in DNA triplex formation.
Triple-helix formation can in principle serve as a general method for sequence-specific recognition and physical separation of duplex DNA molecules. Realization of this goal depends on how much the triplex is destabilized by mismatches and other defects (specificity) and on finding conditions in which perfect complexes are stable and defect complexes are not (stringency). We have addressed the ...
متن کاملDNA triplex formation with 5-dimethylaminopropargyl deoxyuridine
We have prepared triplex-forming oligonucleotides containing the nucleotide analogue 5-dimethylaminopropargyl deoxyuridine (DMAPdU) in place of thymidine and examined their ability to form intermolecular triple helices by thermal melting and DNase I footprinting studies. The results were compared with those for oligonucleotides containing 5-aminopropargyl-dU (APdU), 5-guanidinopropargyl-dU (GPd...
متن کاملSolution structure of a dsDNA:LNA triplex.
We have determined the NMR structure of an intramolecular dsDNA:LNA triplex, where the LNA strand is composed of alternating LNA and DNA nucleotides. The LNA oligonucleotide binds to the dsDNA duplex in the major groove by formation of Hoogsteen hydrogen bonds to the purine strand of the duplex. The structure of the dsDNA duplex is changed to accommodate the LNA strand, and it adopts a geometry...
متن کاملSingle strand targeted triplex-formation. Destabilization of guanine quadruplex structures by foldback triplex-forming oligonucleotides.
Oligonucleotides that can hybridize to single-stranded complementary polypurine nucleic acid targets by Watson-Crick base pairing as well as by Hoogsteen base pairing, referred to here as foldback triplex-forming oligonucleotides (FTFOs), have been designed. These oligonucleotides hybridize with target nucleic acid sequences with greater affinity than antisense oligonucleotides, which hybridize...
