Aspects of conformational transitions, folding, and misfolding of peptides and proteins have recently taken center stage in various domains at the interface of chemistry, biology, and medicine because of their impact on protein misfolding diseases. Due to ...
The first results of a study aiming at an efficient prepn. of a large variety of 2'-O-[(triisopropylsilyl)oxy]methyl(=tom)-protected ribonucleoside phosphoramidite building blocks contg. modified nucleobases are reported. All of the here presented nucleosi ...
In this letter, we show the results achieved using a hydrogenated amorphous silicon photosensor for a "label-free" deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) analysis based on the measurements of the absorbance in the ultraviolet range. The optimization of the sensor str ...
The present invention refers to a double-stranded siRNA molecule comprising a sense Strand and an antisense Strand which is essentially complementary to the sense Strand, each of the sense and the antisense Strands comprising at least 17 nucleotides (nt), ...
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- ...
A novel type of water-soluble prodrugs of cyclosporine A (CsA) is described, featuring a modular system of an enzyme-cleavable group, a solubilizing moiety and a chemodegradable spacer attached to the hydroxyl function of (4R)-4-[(E)-2-butenyl]-4-,N-dimeth ...
Duocarmycins are a potent class of antitumor agents. Their activity arises by their covalent binding to adenine nucleobases of DNA. We use classical mol. dynamics and hybrid (QM/MM) Car-Parrinello mol. dynamics simulations to study non-covalent and covalen ...
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 ...
Chem. shift anisotropy (CSA) tensor parameters have been detd. for the protonated carbons of the purine bases in an RNA kissing complex in soln. by extending the model-independent approach [Fushman, D., Cowburn, D. (1998) J. Am. Chem. Soc. 120, 7109-7110]. ...
In this issue of Chem. & Biol., the groups of Tawfik and Griffiths present fluorescence-activated cell sorting of double emulsions as a generally applicable screen for enzyme activity. This novel methodol. increases the throughput of a typical enzyme scree ...
