Abstract

A new functional bifacial nucleoside derived from 7-aminopyrimido[4,5-d]pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione, a Janus-type nucleobase, has been synthesized and incorporated into DNA oligonucleotides. The nucleobase, having self-complementary H-bonding faces, mimics both T and A and engages in the corresponding Watson–Crick-like base pairs, forming stable duplexes.

Yingying Zeng, Yaowalak Pratumyot, Xijun Piao, and Dennis BongJournal of the American Chemical Society2012 134 (2), 832-835We have designed a 21-residue α-peptide that simultaneously recognizes two decadeoxyoligothymidine (dT10) tracts to form triplexes with a peptide–DNA strand ratio of 1:2. The synthetic peptide side chain displays 10 melamine rings, which provide a ...
