Interstrand DNA cross-links are important in biology, medicinal chemistry, and materials science. Accordingly, methods for the targeted installation of interstrand cross-links in DNA duplexes may be useful in diverse fields. Here, a simple procedure is reported for the preparation of DNA duplexes containing site-specific, chemically defined interstrand cross-links. The approach involves sequential reductive amination reactions between diamine linkers and two abasic (apurinic/apyrimidinic, AP) sites on complementary oligodeoxynucleotides. Use of the symmetrical triamine, tris(2-aminoethyl)amine, in this reaction sequence enabled the preparation of a cross-linked DNA duplex bearing a derivatizable aminoethyl group.
链间 DNA 交联在生物学、药物化学和材料科学中很重要。因此,在 DNA 双螺旋中靶向安装链间交联的方法可能在多个领域都有应用。本文报道了一种在 DNA 双链中制备具有特定位置、化学定义的链间交联的简单方法。该方法涉及通过二胺接头与互补寡脱氧核苷酸上的两个无碱基(嘌呤/嘧啶缺失,AP)位点之间的顺序还原胺化反应。在该反应序列中使用对称三胺,三(2-氨基乙基)胺,可制备带有可衍生氨基乙基的交联 DNA 双链。
