Triple-helix formation by oligonucleotides containing the three bases thymine, cytosine, and guanine.
A homopurine-homopyrimidine sequence of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) proviral DNA was chosen as a target for triple-helix-forming oligonucleotides. An oligonucleotide containing three bases (thymine, cytosine, and guanine) was shown to bind to its target sequence under physiological conditions. This oligonucleotide is bound in a parallel orientation with respect to the homopurine sequence...
متن کاملSynthesis and duplex stability of oligonucleotides containing cytosine-thymine analogues.
The synthesis of the deoxynucleoside derived from the base P, 6H,8H-3,4-dihydro-pyrimido[4,5-c] [4,5-c] [1,2]oxazin-7-one, 2, and its introduction by established phosphoramidite and H-phosphonate chemistry into oligonucleotides is described. The melting transition temperatures (Tm) of a range of heptadecamer duplexes containing P/A and P/G base-pairs are compared with corresponding ones having ...
متن کاملSequence composition effects on the stabilities of triple helix formation by oligonucleotides containing N7-deoxyguanosine.
A nonnatural nucleoside, 7-(2-deoxy-beta-D-erythro-pento-furanosyl)-guanine (d7G), mimics protonated cytosine and specifically binds GC base pairs within a pyrimidine - purine - pyrimidine triple helix. The differences in association constants (KT) determined by quantitative footprint titration experiments at neutral pH reveal dramatic sequence composition effects on the energetics of triple he...
متن کاملHydration energy of Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine and Thymine : Monte Carlo simulation
The hydration of biomolecules is vitally important in molecular biology, so in this paper thesolvation energy and radial distribution function of DNA bases have been calculated by theMonte Carlo simulation.The geometries of isolated Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine, and Thyminehave been optimized using 6-31+G(d,p) basis function sets. These geometries then will be used inthe Monte Carlo calculation o...
متن کاملTriple helix formation with purine-rich phosphorothioate-containing oligonucleotides covalently linked to an acridine derivative.
Purine-rich (GA)- and (GT)-containing oligophosphorothioates were investigated for their triplex-forming potential on a 23 bp DNA duplex target. In our system, GA-containing oligophosphorothioates (23mer GA-PS) were capable of triplex formation with binding affinities lower than (GA)-containing oligophosphodiesters (23mer GA-PO). The orientation of the third strand 23mers GA-PS and GA-PO was an...
