The crystal structure of an ‘All Locked’ nucleic acid duplex
'Locked nucleic acids' (LNAs) are known to introduce enhanced bio- and thermostability into natural nucleic acids rendering them powerful tools for diagnostic and therapeutic applications. We present the 1.9 Å X-ray structure of an 'all LNA' duplex containing exclusively modified β-D-2'-O-4'C-methylene ribofuranose nucleotides. The helix illustrates a new type of nucleic acid geometry that cont...
متن کاملDuplex Structure of a Minimal Nucleic Acid
The crystal structure of an 8-mer (S)-GNA duplex is presented. As a tool for phasing, the anomalous diffraction of two copper(II) ions within two artificial metallo-base pairs was employed. The duplex structure confirms a canonical Watson-Crick base pairing scheme of GNA with antiparallel strands. The duplex secondary structure is distinct from canonical A- and B-form nucleic acids and can be d...
متن کاملAtomic resolution duplex structure of the simplified nucleic acid GNA.
Double helix variations of glycol nucleic acids (GNA) are revealed by the atomic resolution crystal structure of a 6mer GNA duplex containing solely Watson-Crick type hydrogen-bonded base pairs.
متن کاملLocked nucleic acid molecular beacons.
A novel LNA-MB (molecular beacon based on locked nucleic acid bases) has been designed and investigated. It exhibits very high melting temperature and is thermally stable, shows superior single base mismatch discrimination capability, and is stable against digestion by nuclease and has no binding with single-stranded DNA binding proteins. The LNA-MB will be widely useful in a variety of areas, ...
متن کاملDevelopment of bis-locked nucleic acid (bisLNA) oligonucleotides for efficient invasion of supercoiled duplex DNA
In spite of the many developments in synthetic oligonucleotide (ON) chemistry and design, invasion into double-stranded DNA (DSI) under physiological salt and pH conditions remains a challenge. In this work, we provide a new ON tool based on locked nucleic acids (LNAs), designed for strand invasion into duplex DNA (DSI). We thus report on the development of a clamp type of LNA ON-bisLNA-with ca...
