Oligonucleotides containing a ribo-configured cyclohexanyl nucleoside: probing the role of sugar conformation in base pairing selectivity.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The synthesis and a preliminary evaluation of the pairing properties of ribo-cyclohexanyl nucleic acids (r-CNA) is herein reported. Incorporation of a single r-CNA nucleotide into natural duplexes did not enhance their stability, while a very high pairing selectivity for RNA was found. As deduced by comparative analysis of Tm and NMR data, a relationship between pairing selectivity and conformational preferences of the "sugar" moiety of r-CNA (and more generally of six-membered nucleic acids) was suggested.

Oligonucleotides containing 7-bromo-7-deaza-2,8-diaza-2 0-deoxyadenosine (3) and 5-amino-3-bromo-4-carbamoyl-1-(2 0deoxy-b-D-erythro-pentofuranosyl)pyrazole (4) were synthesized. Compound 3 was prepared from 7-bromo-8-aza-7-deaza-2 0-deoxyadenosine (5) via the 1,N-etheno derivative 6 and was converted into the phosphoramidite 11. The 7-bromo substituent of 3 increases oligonucleotide duplex sta...

In further study of our series of six-membered ring-containing nucleic acids, different 1',3'-di-O-methyl altropyranoside nucleoside analogs (DMANA) were synthesized comprising all four base moieties, adenine, cytosine, uracil and guanine. Following assembly into oligonucleotides (ONs), their affinity for natural oligonucleotides was evaluated by thermal denaturation of the respective duplexes....

Recently, we synthesized pyrimidine derivatives of the 2'-O,4'-C-methylenoxymethylene-bridged nucleic-acid (2',4'-BNA(COC)) monomer, the sugar conformation of which is restricted in N-type conformation by a seven-membered bridged structure. Oligonucleotides (BNA(COC)) containing this monomer show high affinity with complementary single-stranded RNA and significant resistance to nuclease degrada...
متن کاملAssignment of the 31P and 1H resonances in oligonucleotides by two-dimensional NMR spectroscopy.
The use of new 1H-detected heteronuclear 1H-31P shift correlation experiments is demonstrated for oligonucleotides of 12 and 40 base pairs. The methods give unambiguous assignments of the 31P resonances and also permit identification of the C4' and C5' sugar protons. Use of the new methods enables one to make sequence-specific resonance assignments without reference to a known or assumed confor...

3-Aminophenyl-modified analogues of the bicyclic nucleoside N-methyl-3H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-2(7H)-one were synthesised and incorporated directly into triplex-forming oligonucleotides in order to utilise their extended hydrogen bonding motif for recognition of the CG base pair. All analogues demonstrated strong binding affinity and very good selectivity for CG from pH 6.2 to 7.0; a marked im...
