Abstract:We have previously reported that the 2-amino-6-vinylpurine nucleoside exhibits the highly efficient and selective cross-linking reaction toward the cytosine base at the target site in the duplex DNA. The nucleoside analogues that connect the 2-amino-6-vinylpurine to the 2'-deoxyribose skeleton through the ethylene or the butylene linker formed the cross-link selectively to the adenine base of the TA pair or the cytosine base of the GC pair in the triplex DNA, respectively. They did not form cross-link in the d… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
