Sugar-phosphate backbone recognition

Examples of other restriction enz)mes and their specific recognition sequences are listed in Table 24.3. The sites on the sugar-phosphate backbone that are cut by the enzymes are indicated by slashes. [Pg.740]

The torsion angles around the bonds of the sugar-phosphate DNA backbone are of decisive importance for the secondary structure of DNA as well as for base-base recognition. [44] For antisense agents to be effective inhibitors of protein expression in vivo, they have to resist the action of DNA-degrading enzymes and bind to their... [Pg.49]

Both L- and D-ribose occur in this complex mixture, but are not particularly abundant. Since all carbohydrates have somewhat similar chemical properties, it is difficult to envision simple mechanisms that could lead to the enrichment of ribose from this mixture, or how the relative yield of ribose required for the formation of RNA could be enhanced. However, the recognition that the biosynthesis of sugars leads not to the formation of free carbohydrates but of sugar phosphates, lead Albert Eschenmoser and his associates to show that under slightly basic conditions the condensation of glycoaldehyde-2-phosphate in the presence of formaldehyde considerable selectivity exist in the synthesis of ribose-2,4-diphosphate 54). This reaction has also been shown to take place under neutral conditions and low concentrations in the presence of minerals (55), and is particularly attractive given the properties of pyranosyl-RNA (p-RNA), a 2 ,4 -linked nucleic acid analogue whose backbone includes the six-member pyranose form of ribose-2,4-diphosphate 56). [Pg.31]
