The base pairing properties of oligonucleotide duplexes containing 8-aza-7-deaza-2'-deoxyisoguanosine, its 7-bromo or its 7-iodo derivative are described. The nucleosides were synthesized on a convergent route, protected and converted into phosphoramidites. Oligonucleotides were prepared on a solid-phase and were hybridized to yield duplexes with parallel (ps) or antiparallel (aps) chain orientation. The 8-aza-7-deaza-2'-deoxyisoguanosine-containing duplexes show almost identical base pairing stability as those containing 2'-deoxyisoguanosine, while the 7-substituted derivatives induce a significant duplex stabilization both in ps and aps DNA. Self-complementary duplexes with parallel chain orientation are exceptionally stable due to the presence of 5'-overhangs. The bulky halogen substituents were found to be well accommodated in the grooves both of aps and ps DNA.

D009838 Oligodeoxyribonucleotides A group of deoxyribonucleotides (up to 12) in which the phosphate residues of each deoxyribonucleotide act as bridges in forming diester linkages between the deoxyribose moieties. Oligodeoxynucleotide,Oligodeoxyribonucleotide,Oligodeoxynucleotides
D003849 Deoxyguanosine A nucleoside consisting of the base guanine and the sugar deoxyribose.
D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).

D006207 Half-Life The time it takes for a substance (drug, radioactive nuclide, or other) to lose half of its pharmacologic, physiologic, or radiologic activity. Halflife,Half Life,Half-Lifes,Halflifes
D013816 Thermodynamics A rigorously mathematical analysis of energy relationships (heat, work, temperature, and equilibrium). It describes systems whose states are determined by thermal parameters, such as temperature, in addition to mechanical and electromagnetic parameters.
