Z-DNA structure is a noncanonical left-handed alternative form of DNA, which has been suggested to be biologically important and is related to several genetic diseases and cancer. Therefore, investigation of Z-DNA structure associated with biological events is of great importance to understanding the functions of these molecules. Here, we described the development of a trifluoromethyl labeled deoxyguanosine derivative and employed it as a F NMR probe to study Z-form DNA structure in vitro and in living cells.
Z-DNA 结构是 DNA 的一种非canonical 左手替代形式,它被认为具有重要的生物学意义,并与几种遗传疾病和癌症有关。因此,研究与生物事件相关的 Z-DNA 结构对于理解这些分子的功能非常重要。在这里,我们描述了一种三氟甲基标记的脱氧鸟苷衍生物的开发,并将其用作 F NMR 探针,用于研究体外和活细胞中的 Z 型 DNA 结构。
