Small molecule induced control in duplex and triplex DNA-directed chemical reactions.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Triplex DNA binders can effectively control copper-catalysed alkyne-azide click reactions in DNA architecture, such that either duplex or triplex DNA directed reactions of terminally attached azides and alkynes occur, in the absence or presence of triplex DNA binder, respectively.

Triplex inducer-directed self-assembly of single-walled carbon nanotubes: a triplex DNA-based approach for controlled manipulation of nanostructures
As a promising strategy for artificially control of gene expression, reversible assembly of nanomaterials and DNA nanomachine, DNA triplex formation has received much attention. Carbon nanotubes as gene and drug delivery vector or as 'building blocks' in nano/microelectronic devices have been successfully explored. Therefore, studies on triplex DNA-based carbon nanotube hybrid materials are imp...
متن کاملNew approaches toward recognition of nucleic acid triple helices.
A DNA duplex can be recognized sequence-specifically in the major groove by an oligodeoxynucleotide (ODN). The resulting structure is a DNA triple helix, or triplex. The scientific community has invested significant research capital in the study of DNA triplexes because of their robust potential for providing new applications, including molecular biology tools and therapeutic agents. The triple...

Back in 1957, when investigators produced a triple-stranded form of DNA while studying synthetic nucleic acids, few researchers paid much attention to the discovery. However, triplex DNA was never entirely forgotton and especially since 1987 its structural and functional importance in biological systems as well as its medical applications and therapeutic potentional have been extensively studie...
متن کاملControlling nucleic acid secondary structure by intercalation: effects of DNA strand length on coralyne-driven duplex disproportionation.
Small molecules that intercalate in DNA and RNA are powerful agents for controlling nucleic acid structural transitions. We recently demonstrated that coralyne, a small crescent-shaped molecule, can cause the complete and irreversible disproportionation of duplex poly(dA)*poly(dT) into triplex poly(dA)*poly(dT)*poly(dT) and a poly(dA) self-structure. Both DNA secondary structures that result fr...
متن کاملPositively charged oligonucleotides overcome potassium-mediated inhibition of triplex DNA formation.
The formation of triplex DNA using unmodified, purine-rich oligonucleotides (ODNs) is inhibited by physiologic levels of potassium. Changing negative phosphodiester bonds in a triplex forming oligonucleotide (TFO) to neutral linkages causes a small increase in triplex formation. When phosphodiester bonds in a TFO are converted to positively-charged linkages the formation of triplex DNA increase...
