Synthesis of Polyanionic C5-Modified 2′-Deoxyuridine and 2′-Deoxycytidine-5′-Triphosphates and Their Properties as Substrates for DNA Polymerases

Modified 2′-deoxyribonucleotide triphosphates (dNTPs) have widespread purposes in each current and rising biomolecular applied sciences. For such purposes it’s a necessary requirement that the modified dNTPs be substrates for DNA polymerases. To this point very few examples of C5-modified dNTPs bearing negatively charged performance have been described, although such nucleotides would possibly doubtlessly be worthwhile […]

Nanoparticle Superlattices through Template-Encoded DNA Dendrimers

The chemical interactions that result in the emergence of hierarchical buildings are sometimes extremely advanced and tough to program. Herein, the synthesis of a sequence of superlattices based mostly upon 30 totally different structurally reconfigurable DNA dendrimers is reported, every of which presents a well-defined variety of single-stranded oligonucleotides (i.e., sticky ends) on its floor. […]

DNA Replication-Transcription Conflicts Do Not Significantly Contribute to Spontaneous Mutations Due to Replication Errors in Escherichia coli

Encounters between DNA replication and transcription may cause genomic disruption, notably when the 2 meet head-on. Whether or not these conflicts produce level mutations is debated. This paper presents detailed analyses of a big assortment of mutations generated throughout mutation accumulation experiments with mismatch restore (MMR)-defective Escherichia coli. With MMR absent, mutations are primarily on […]
