Our group is working on the development of reliable access to biol. relevant, long, and modified RNA sequences. Here, we briefly present the chem. synthesis of such sequences with 2'-O-triisopropylsilyloxymethyl (= 2'-O-tom) protected ribonucleoside phosph ...
Within this project methods for the preparation of the unnatural nucleic acids 3'-O-Methyl-pRNA and pDNA (3'-Desoxy-pRNA) were developed. The pairing properties of these two systems have been examined and compared with that of pRNA. All of the three system ...
RNA binding to high-density oligonucleotide arrays has shown tantalizing differences with solution experiments. We analyze here its sequence specificity, fitting binding affinities to sequence composition in large datasets. Our results suggest that the flu ...
We report the synthesis of a modified 8-mer RNA sequence, (C-C-C-C-A-C-C-(2'-thio)A)-RNA 5'-(dihydrogen phosphate) contg. a 3'-terminal 2'-thio-adenosine and its spontaneous and site-specific aminoacylation with the weakly activated amino acid thioester H- ...
Pyranosyl-RNA ("p-RNA") is an oligonucleotide system isomeric to natural RNA and composed of the very same building blocks as RNA. Its generational, chem., and informational properties are deemed to be those of an alternative nucleic acid system that cou ...
Telomeres, the protective caps of eukaryotic chromosomes, are maintained by the enzyme telomerase. This telomere-specific reverse transcriptase (RT) uses a small region of its RNA subunit as template to synthesize telomeric DNA, which is generally G/T rich ...
Uncoupling proteins (UCPs) present in the inner mitochondrial membrane are involved in uncoupling respiration from ATP synthesis. Five UCP isoforms have been identified but information about their presence and level of expression in the central nervous sys ...
Viral replication usually requires that innate intracellular lines of defence be overcome, a task usually accomplished by specialized viral gene products. The virion infectivity factor (Vif) protein of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is required during ...
Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the causative agent of tuberculosis, possesses a class Ib ribonucleotide reductase (RNR), encoded by the nrdE and nrdF2 genes, in addition to a putative class II RNR, encoded by nrdZ. In this study we probed the relative contrib ...
Sphingomonas paucimobilis B90A is able to degrade the alpha-, beta-, gamma-, and delta-isomers of hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH). It contains the genes linA, linB, linC, linD, linE, and linR, which have been implicated in HCH degradation. In this study, dynam ...
