A second-generation copper(II)-mediated metallo-DNA-base pair
摘要:
Metal-dependent pairing of nucleobases represents an alternative DNA base pairing scheme. Our first-generation copper(II)-mediated pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylate (Dipic) and pyridine (Py) metallo-base pair has a stability comparable to the natural base pairs dA:dT and dC:dG but does not have the selectivity of the Watson Crick base pairs. In order to increase the selectivity of base pair formation, a second-generation metallo-base pair was generated consisting of a pyridine-2,6-dicarboxamide (Dipam) and a pyridine (Py) nucleobase. This new metallo-base pair is more stable than the natural base pairs dA:dT and dC:dG and highly selective against mispairing. In addition, incorporation of multiple metallo-base pairs into DNA results in the formation of stable duplexes demonstrating that hydrogen bonding base pairs can efficiently be replaced by metal-dependent base pairs at multiple sites in DNA.

generated a novel silver(I)-mediated unnatural DNAbasepair consisting of two 2,6-bis(ethylthiomethyl)pyridine nucleobases SPy. This metallo-base pair has a remarkably high pairing stability and selectivity which rivals that of the natural basepairs dA:dT and dC:dG. UV-melting experiments revealed that the dSPy:dSPy self-pair can replace natural basepairs at multiple sites and still form stable DNA duplexes
我们已经生成了一种新型的银 (I) 介导的非天然 DNA 碱基对,由两个 2,6-双(乙硫基甲基)吡啶核碱基 SPy 组成。这种金属碱基对具有非常高的配对稳定性和选择性,可与天然碱基对 dA:dT 和 dC:dG 相媲美。紫外熔解实验表明 dSPy:dSPy 自对可以在多个位点替换天然碱基对,并仍然形成稳定的 DNA 双链体。
