Probing binding preferences of DNA and RNA: backbone chirality of thioacetamido-linked nucleic acids and iso-thioacetamido-linked nucleic acids to differentiate DNA versus RNA selective binding.
JOURNAL OF ORGANIC CHEMISTRY(2010)
摘要
Subtle differences in RNA and DNA duplex geometry could be sensed by the changed stereochemistry at 3 '-amino function in the 5-atom thioacetamido linker of thioacetamido-linked nucleic acids and iso-thioacetamido-linked nucleic acids modified oligomers. In contrast to the preferred N-type sugar conformations for either 3 '- ribo- or xylo amino nucleosides, predominant S-type sugar conformations were found in the dimers. Although the CD spectral differences for the dimer blocks were found to be identical for those found in phosphodiester linked ribo/xylo dimers, the 5-atom thioactamido linker could reverse the RNA binding selectivity to DNA binding selectivity by the change in configuration at the 3 '-amino-substituted sugar.
