چکیده

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 improvement on previous modifications.

Specific recognition of CG base pairs by 2-deoxynebularine within the purine.purine.pyrimidine triple-helix motif.

The sequence-specific recognition of double-helical DNA by oligodeoxyribonucleotide-directed triple-helix formation is limited mostly to purine tracts. Within the geometric constraints of the phosphate-deoxyribose position of a purine-purine-pyrimidine triple-helical structure, model building studies suggested that the deoxyribonucleoside 2'-deoxynebularine (dN) might form one specific hydrogen...

Recognition of CG inversions in DNA triple helices by methylated 3H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-2(7H)-one nucleoside analogues.

Substituted 3H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-2(7H)-one nucleoside analogues have been synthesised from 5-alkynyl-uridine derivatives, incorporated into triplex forming oligonucleotides (TFOs) and found to selectively bind CG inversions with enhanced affinity compared to T.

Pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine nucleic acids: adjustment of dA-dT to dG-dC base pair stability.

Oligonucleotides incorporating 8-aza-7-deazapurin-2,6-diamine (pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4,6-diamine) nucleoside 2a or its 7-bromo derivative 2b show enhanced duplex stability compared to those containing dA. While incorporation of 2a opposite dT increases the T(m) value only slightly, the 7-bromo compound 2b forms a very stable base pair which is as strong as the dG-dC pair. Compound 2b shows a...

In vitro selection of oligonucleotides that bind double-stranded DNA in the presence of triplex-stabilizing agents

A SELEX approach has been developed in order to select oligonucleotides that bind double-stranded DNA in the presence of a triplex-stabilizing agent, and was applied to a target sequence containing an oligopurine-oligopyrimidine stretch. After only seven rounds of selection, the process led to the identification of oligonucleotides that were able to form triple helices within the antiparallel m...

A nucleobase-discriminating pyrrolo-dC click adduct designed for DNA fluorescence mismatch sensing.

New pyrrolo-dC click adducts (4 and 5) tethered with a 1,2,3-triazole skeleton were synthesized and oligonucleotides were prepared. The triazole system was either directly linked to the pyrrolo moiety (5) or connected via an n-butyl linker (4). The quantum yield of nucleoside 5 (Φ=0.32), which is 10 times higher than those of 8-methylpyrrolo-dC (1 b, Φ=0.026) or the long linker derivative 4 (Φ=...
