چکیده

The ribose conformations of 8-azaadenosine, 8-azaguanosine, and 8-azainosine have been studied using proton magnetic resonance in ND3 solutions, in D2O solutions, and in pyridine solutions. The temperature was varied between -60 and +40 degrees C in ND3 and between +10 and +60 degrees C in D20 solutions. The analysis is based on the two state S in equilibrium N model of the ribose moiety proposed by Altona and Sundaralingam. In D2O, the 8-aza substitution destabilizes the gg rotamer and simultaneously diminishes the population of the S state of the ribose. It is deduced that the anti population of the base is greater in the 8-azapurine(beta)ribosides than in the common purine(beta)-ribosides.

Enzymatic synthesis of highly fluorescent 8-azapurine ribosides using a purine nucleoside phosphorylase reverse reaction: variable ribosylation sites.

Various forms of purine-nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP) were used as catalysts of enzymatic ribosylation of selected fluorescent 8-azapurines. It was found that the recombinant calf PNP catalyzes ribosylation of 2,6-diamino-8-azapurine in a phosphate-free medium, with ribose-1-phosphate as ribose donor, but the ribosylation site is predominantly N7 and N8, with the proportion of N8/N7 ribosylate...

Site-Selective Ribosylation of Fluorescent Nucleobase Analogs Using Purine-Nucleoside Phosphorylase as a Catalyst: Effects of Point Mutations.

Enzymatic ribosylation of fluorescent 8-azapurine derivatives, like 8-azaguanine and 2,6-diamino-8-azapurine, with purine-nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP) as a catalyst, leads to N9, N8, and N7-ribosides. The final proportion of the products may be modulated by point mutations in the enzyme active site. As an example, ribosylation of the latter substrate by wild-type calf PNP gives N7- and N8-rib...

Conformation of nucleosides: circular dichroism study on the syn-anti conformational equilibrium of 2-substituted benzimidazole nucleosides.

The solution conformations of 2-substituted derivatives of 1-(beta-D-ribofuranosyl)benzimidazole have been determined by circular dichroism spectroscopy in aqueous solutions. It is shown that analogs with methyl, amino, or methylamino substituents at position 2 of the benzimidazole ring (position 8 of the purine ring) have predominantly anti conformations, whereas analogs with chloro, aza, meth...
