چکیده

Reaction of DNA with K2PdCl4 at pH 2.0 followed by a piperidine workup produces specific cleavage at adenine (A) residues. Product analysis revealed the K2PdCl4 reaction involves selective depurination at adenine, affording an excision reaction analogous to the other chemical DNA sequencing reactions. Adenine residues methylated at the exocyclic amine (N6) react with lower efficiency than unmethylated adenine in an identical sequence. This simple protocol specific for A may be a useful addition to current chemical sequencing reactions.

Reduced cleavage by sodium hydroxide of methyladenine in DNA sequencing.

When the Maxam and Gilbert DNA sequencing method which is modified by Bencini et al. (Biotechniques Jan/Feb pp4-5, 1984) is applied to DNA containing methylated adenine in a GATC sequence, the cleavage reaction by sodium hydroxide is found to be greatly reduced in comparison to that of non-methylated adenine. Thus, a faint band in A greater than C reaction suggests a methyl adenine and can be u...

Theoretical study of the properties of adenine amino acid tetomers with C60

In this research at the Adenine tautomers and their fullerene derivatives were optimized. NBO calculations and NMR for the tautomers and their Fullerene derivatives were carried out at the B3lyp/6-31G*quantum chemistry level. The core and the valence electrons of atoms were compared. Other cases examined in this study, resonance energy, chemical potential (µ ),...

Direct visualization of site-specific and strand-specific DNA methylation patterns in automated DNA sequencing data.

We report here a simple method of directly visualizing in automated DNA sequencing chromatograms DNA methylations of different types including cytosine methylations in Hpa II and dcm sites as well as adenine methylations in dam sites. This is made possible by the observation that the extent of incorporation of fluorescently labeled dideoxynucleotides is influenced by the methylated bases in tem...

Discrimination of N6-methyl adenine in a specific DNA sequence.

We have developed a novel chemistry-based method to detect adenine methylation. A DNA probe functionalized with a formyl group discriminates between adenine and N6-methyl adenine by the formation of a selective interstrand cross-link.
