O4 -Alkylated-2-Deoxyuridine Repair by O6 -Alkylguanine DNA Alkyltransferase is Augmented by a C5-Fluorine Modification

Author(s): Lauralicia Sacre

Oligonucleotides containing various adducts, including ethyl, benzyl, 4-hydroxybutyl and 7-hydroxyheptyl groups, at the O4 atom of 5-fluoro-O4 -alkyl-2'-deoxyuridine were prepared by solid-phase synthesis. UV thermal denaturation studies demonstrated th...

Description:

Oligonucleotides containing various adducts, including ethyl, benzyl, 4-hydroxybutyl and 7-hydroxyheptyl groups, at the O4 atom of 5-fluoro-O4 -alkyl-2'-deoxyuridine were prepared by solid-phase synthesis. UV thermal denaturation studies demonstrated that these modifications destabilised the duplex by approximately 10 °C, relative to the control containing 5-fluoro-2'-deoxyuridine. Circular dichroism spectroscopy revealed that these modified duplexes all adopted a B-form DNA structure. O6...
