Pursuing DNA catalysts for protein modification.
Catalysis is a fundamental chemical concept, and many kinds of catalysts have considerable practical value. Developing entirely new catalysts is an exciting challenge. Rational design and screening have provided many new small-molecule catalysts, and directed evolution has been used to optimize or redefine the function of many protein enzymes. However, these approaches have inherent limitations...
متن کاملCysteine residues as catalysts for covalent peptide and protein modification: a role for thiyl radicals?
Cysteine thiyl radicals engage in reversible intramolecular hydrogen-transfer reactions with amino acid residues in peptides and proteins. These reactions can be experimentally demonstrated through covalent hydrogen-deuterium exchange when experiments are carried out in (2)H2O. To this end, hydrogen-transfer reactions have been observed between cysteine thiyl radicals and glycine, alanine, seri...
متن کاملDeoxyribozymes: DNA catalysts for bioorganic chemistry.
Deoxyribozymes are DNA molecules with catalytic activity. For historical and practical reasons, essentially all reported deoxyribozymes catalyze reactions of nucleic acid substrates, although this is probably not a fundamental limitation. In vitro selection strategies have been used to identify many deoxyribozymes that catalyze RNA cleavage, RNA and DNA ligation, and a variety of covalent modif...

متن کاملModification of subtelomeric DNA.
There is a discrepancy in telomere length as measured by signal intensity of telomere restriction fragments on gels and fluorescence in situ hybridization analysis. This difference has been ascribed to the X-region, a segment of subtelomeric DNA that is resistant to being cut by restriction enzymes. To explore the nature of this region, we analyzed the digestibility of an artificial seeded telo...
