3'-Amino-3'-deoxyguanosine-5'-phosphorimidazolidate (ImpGNH2) oligomerizes more rapidly and regiospecifically than related nucleotide derivatives on a d(CpCpCpCpC) template. The greater nucleophilicity of the amino group leads to efficient oligomerization even when the structure of the double-helical complex formed by the template and the substrate is not optimal for reaction. The use of amine-containing analogues should permit us to develop models of potentially prebiotic polymerization reactions that cannot be studied easily using natural nucleotides.
3'-氨基-3'-脱氧鸟苷-5'-磷酰咪唑啉酸酯(ImpGNH2)在d(CpCpCpCpC)模板上比相关核苷酸衍生物更快且更具区域特异性地寡聚。即使模板和底物形成的双螺旋复合物结构并非最有利于反应,氨基更强的亲核性也能导致高效寡聚。使用含胺类似物应能让我们建立潜在的前生物聚合反应模型,而这些反应利用天然核苷酸难以轻易研究。
