2'-O-Carbamoyluridine (U(cm)) was synthesized and incorporated into DNAs and 2'-O-Me-RNAs. The oligonucleotides incorporating U(cm) formed less stable duplexes with their complementary and U(cm)-U, U(cm)-C single-base mismatched DNAs and RNAs in comparison with those without the carbamoyl group. On the contrary, the T(m) analyses revealed that the duplexes with a mismatched U(cm)-G base pair showed almost the same thermostability as the corresponding unmodified duplexes. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of the U(cm)-modified 2'-O-Me-RNA/RNA duplexes with U(cm)-G mismatched base pair suggested that the carbamoyl group could participate in the U(cm)-G base pair by an additional intermolecular hydrogen bond between the carbamoyl oxygen and the H2 of the guanine base.

D009693 Nucleic Acid Hybridization Widely used technique which exploits the ability of complementary sequences in single-stranded DNAs or RNAs to pair with each other to form a double helix. Hybridization can take place between two complimentary DNA sequences, between a single-stranded DNA and a complementary RNA, or between two RNA sequences. The technique is used to detect and isolate specific sequences, measure homology, or define other characteristics of one or both strands.
