Polysaccharides as initiators of nucleic acid polymerization
Quantum-chemical calculations and in vitro experiments have demonstrated that polysaccharides are able to adsorb mononucleotides due to the formation of hydrogen bonds. The subsequent dehydration of polysaccharide-nucleotide complexes in the physiologically acceptable temperature range results in the creation of “correct” DNA polymers that are “recognized” by the specific DNA-polymerases. DNA f...
متن کاملZinc anilido-oxazolinate complexes as initiators for ring opening polymerization.
Three new anilido-oxazolines, ortho-C(6)H(4)(NHAr')(4,4-dimethyl-2-oxazoline) [Ar'=2,4,6-trimethylphenyl, HNPh(TriMe)Oxa (1); 2,6-diisopropylphenyl, HNPh(DiiPr)Oxa (2); 2-methoxyphenyl, HNPh(OMe)Oxa (3)], have been prepared. Reactions of 1 or 2 with one molar equivalent of ZnEt(2) in tetrahydrofuran or hexane solution give the zinc ethyl complexes (NPh(TriMe)Oxa)ZnEt (4) and (NPh(DiiPr)Oxa)ZnEt...
متن کاملInvestigation of the DNA-dependent cyclohexenyl nucleic acid polymerization and the cyclohexenyl nucleic acid-dependent DNA polymerization
DNA polymerases from different evolutionary families [Vent (exo-) DNA polymerase from the B-family polymerases, Taq DNA polymerase from the A-family polymerases and HIV reverse transcriptase from the reverse transcriptase family] were examined for their ability to incorporate the sugar-modified cyclohexenyl nucleoside triphosphates. All enzymes were able to use the cyclohexenyl nucleotides as a...
متن کاملtRNA Maturation: RNA Polymerization without a Nucleic Acid Template
The CCA-adding enzyme, which builds and repairs the 3' terminal CCA sequence of tRNA, is the only RNA polymerase that can synthesize a defined nucleotide sequence without using a nucleic acid template. New cocrystal structures tell us how this remarkable enzyme works.
متن کاملIminodiacetic-phosphoramidates as metabolic prototypes for diversifying nucleic acid polymerization in vivo
Previous studies in our laboratory proved that certain functional groups are able to mimic the pyrophosphate moiety and act as leaving groups in the enzymatic polymerization of deoxyribonucleic acids by HIV-1 reverse transcriptase. When the potential leaving group possesses two carboxylic acid moieties linked to the nucleoside via a phosphoramidate bond, it is efficiently recognized by this err...
