A procedure has been elaborated for stereoselective deuterium substitution of one of the diastereotopic 5'-protons in 2'-deoxynucleotides. The synthetic scheme uses the reduction of the 5-oxosugar derivative with deuterated Alpine-Borane. The resulting deuterosugar is converted into pyrimidine nucleosides and incorporated into DNA using standard protocols. Comparison of two-dimensional NMR spectra of the fully protonated and partially deuterated duplexes allowed us to assign diastereotopic 5' protons, increasing the number of experimental restraints used for structure determination.
已经精心设计了一种用于对2'-脱氧核苷酸中两个非对映异位5'-质子之一进行立体选择性氘代的方法。该合成方案利用氘代高山硼烷还原5-氧代糖衍生物。所得的氘代糖被转化为嘧啶核苷,并使用标准方案掺入DNA中。通过比较完全质子化和部分氘代双链体的二维核磁共振谱,我们能够确定非对映异位的5'质子,从而增加了用于结构测定的实验约束数量。
