Oligodeoxyribonucleotides containing the nucleoside analog 1-(2'-deoxy-beta-D-ribofuranosyl) imidazole-4-carboxamide (1) were synthesized by solid phase phosphoramidite technology. Nucleoside 1, which contains a reactive exocyclic amide moiety, was incorporated into synthetic oligodeoxyribonucleotides with the use of a benzoyl protecting group. The corresponding oligodeoxyribonucleotides with dI or dA in the same position in the sequence were synthesized for UV comparison of helix-coil transitions. The thermal melting studies indicate that 1, which could conceptually adopt either a dA- or a dI-like hydrogen bond configuration, pairs with significantly higher affinity to T than to dC. Nucleoside 1 further resembles dA in the relative order of its base pairing preferences (T >dG >dA >dC), but may be less discriminating than dA in its bias for base pairing with T over dG.
通过固相亚磷酰胺技术合成了含有核苷类似物1-(2'-脱氧-β-D-呋喃核糖基)咪唑-4-甲酰胺(1)的寡脱氧核糖核苷酸。核苷1含有一个反应性外环酰胺部分,通过使用苯甲酰保护基将其掺入合成寡脱氧核糖核苷酸中。合成了在序列相同位置含有dI或dA的相应寡脱氧核糖核苷酸,用于螺旋-卷曲转变的紫外比较。热变性研究表明,理论上可以采用类似dA或dI氢键构型的1,与T配对的亲和力明显高于与dC配对的亲和力。核苷1在碱基配对偏好的相对顺序上(T>dG>dA>dC)进一步类似于dA,但在与T碱基配对相对于dG的偏好上可能比dA的区分度小。
