The fluorescence and the base pairing properties of 8-aza-7-deaza-2'-deoxyisoinosine (1) are described and compared with those of 2'-deoxyisoinosine (2). The corresponding phosphoramidites (11, 12) are synthesized using the diphenylcarbamoyl (DPC) residue for the 2-oxo group protection. The nucleosides 1 and 2 base pair with 2'-deoxy-5-methylisocytidine in DNA duplexes with antiparallel chain orientation and with 2'-deoxycytidine in a parallel DNA. These base pairs are less stable than the canonical dA-dT pair and that of 2'-deoxyinosine (4) with 2'-deoxycytidine. The fluorescence of the nucleosides 1 and 2 is quenched (approximately 95%) in duplex DNA. The residual fluorescence is used to determine the Tm-values, which are found to be the same as determined UV-spectrophotometrically.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007288 Inosine A purine nucleoside that has hypoxanthine linked by the N9 nitrogen to the C1 carbon of ribose. It is an intermediate in the degradation of purines and purine nucleosides to uric acid and in pathways of purine salvage. It also occurs in the anticodon of certain transfer RNA molecules. (Dorland, 28th ed)
D009841 Oligonucleotides Polymers made up of a few (2-20) nucleotides. In molecular genetics, they refer to a short sequence synthesized to match a region where a mutation is known to occur, and then used as a probe (OLIGONUCLEOTIDE PROBES). (Dorland, 28th ed) Oligonucleotide
