چکیده

6,7-Dimethyllumazine more selectively binds to adenine (A) base opposite the abasic site in DNA duplexes (5'-TCC AGX[combining low line] GCA AC-3'/3'-AGG TCN CGT TG-5', X = AP site (Spacer C3), N= A, T, C and G) than the other three nucleobases with a dissociation constant K(d) of ca. 1.0 microM; substituted methyl groups enhance the binding affinity to A and the selectivity for A over T, compared to the parent molecule, lumazine.

Alloxazine as a ligand for selective binding to adenine opposite AP sites in DNA duplexes and analysis of single-nucleotide polymorphisms.

Alloxazine can bind to adenine selectively over other nucleobases opposite an abasic site in DNA duplexes (5'-TCC AGX GCA AC-3'/3'-AGG TCN CGT TG-5', X=AP site, N=A, T, C, G) with a dissociation constant of 0.82 microM (pH 7.0, I=0.11 M, at 5 degrees C), and it is applicable to SNPs typing of PCR amplification products based on the binding-induced fluorescence response.

Shape-selective recognition of DNA abasic sites by metallohelices: inhibition of human AP endonuclease 1

Loss of a base in DNA leading to creation of an abasic (AP) site leaving a deoxyribose residue in the strand, is a frequent lesion that may occur spontaneously or under the action of various physical and chemical agents. Progress in the understanding of the chemistry and enzymology of abasic DNA largely relies upon the study of AP sites in synthetic duplexes. We report here on interactions of d...

Highly selective binding of naphthyridine with a trifluoromethyl group to cytosine opposite an abasic site in DNA duplexes.

We report on highly selective binding of a naphthyridine derivative with a trifluoromethyl group to cytosine opposite an abasic site in DNA duplexes; the binding-induced fluorescence quenching is applicable to the analysis of a C-related single-base mutation in DNAs amplified by PCR.

Competitive binding of abasic site-binding ligands and masking ligands to DNA duplexes for the analysis of single-base mutation.

We describe a competitive binding assay for the analysis of single-base mutation by using abasic site (AP site)-specific binding fluorescent ligands and masking ligands bound to the AP site in DNA duplexes. 2-Amino-5,6,7-trimethyl-1,8-naphthyridine (ATMND) can strongly bind to not only cytosine (C), but also thymine (T) opposite an AP site in the DNA duplexes (K(11)/10(7) M(-1): C, 15; T, 7.0)...

Purine-Derived Nitroxides for Noncovalent Spin-Labeling of Abasic Sites in Duplex Nucleic Acids.

A series of purine-based spin labels was prepared for noncovalent spin-labeling of abasic sites of duplex nucleic acids through hydrogen bonding to an orphan base on the opposing strand and π-stacking interactions with the flanking bases. Both 1,1,3,3-tetramethylisoindolin-2-yloxyl and 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl (TEMPO) were conjugated to either the C2- or C6-position of the purines, ...
