A modified uridine for the synthesis of branched DNA
نویسندگان
چکیده
Branched DNA constructs have found wide application in DNA based nanotechnology. Several reports describe the generation of branched DNA structures with variable numbers of arms to self assemble with pre designed architectures. Branched DNA is generated by using designed rigid crossover DNA molecules as building blocks. Alternatively, branched DNAs can also be generated by using synthetic branch points derived either from nucleoside or non nucleoside building blocks. Herein, we report the synthesis of modified uridine deriva tives as branching monomer for the synthesis of branched DNA and first studies of their self assembling properties.

The anticancer agents from plant sources usually exert their action through a wide range of mechanisms. As part of our studies of plants for new anticancer agents with emphasis on Thymelaeaceae family, we examined the cytotoxicity and anti-tumor activity of the water extract of D. mucronata leaves against induced breast tumor in rats. In the current study, we were interested to obtain some know...

متن کاملSynthesis and Expression of Modified bFGF Gene in Escherichia coli Cells
A new strategy for construction of synthetic gene encoding human basic fibroblast growth factor comprising DNA annealing-ligation and augmentation by polymerase chain reaction was introduced. The sequence of the gene and corresponding amino acid chain were modified in order to increase stability of the protein. First, 300 bp and 160 bp fragments of the gene were assembled from 18 oligonucleotid...
متن کاملSynthesis and Biochemical Studies of a Novel Thiol Modified Nucleotide
Nucleic acids are important bio-macromolecules in living systems. They are involved in important functions like gene expression and regulation. Nucleoside triphosphates serve as precursors for biochemical synthesis of modified nucleic acids and nucleotide coenzymes. The modification of nucleic acids, particularly at nucleobases, can expand the function and chemical properties of nucleic acid. H...
