Abstract
Fluorinated nucleotides are invaluable for 19 F NMR studies of nucleic acid structure and function. Here, we synthesized 4'-SCF3 -thymidine (T 4 ' - SCF 3 ${{^{4{^\prime}\hbox{-}{\rm SCF}{_{3}}}}}$ ) and incorporated it into DNA by means of solid-phase DNA synthesis. NMR studies showed that the 4'-SCF3 group exhibited a flexible orientation in the minor groove of DNA duplexes and was well accommodated by various higher order DNA structures. The three magnetically equivalent fluorine atoms in 4'-SCF3 -DNA constitute an isolated spin system, offering high 19 F NMR sensitivity and excellent resolution of the positioning of T 4 ' - SCF 3 ${{^{4{^\prime}\hbox{-}{\rm SCF}{_{3}}}}}$ within various secondary and tertiary DNA structures. The high structural adaptability and high sensitivity of T 4 ' - SCF 3 ${{^{4{^\prime}\hbox{-}{\rm SCF}{_{3}}}}}$ make it a valuable 19 F NMR probe for quantitatively distinguishing diverse DNA structures with single-nucleotide resolution and for monitoring the dynamics of interactions in the minor groove of double-stranded DNA.

Abstract
Fluorinated nucleosides and oligonucleotides are of specific interest as probes for studying nucleic acids interaction, structures, biological transformations, and its biomedical applications. Among various modifications of oligonucleotides, fluorination of preformed nucleoside and/or nucleotides have recently gained attention owing to the unique properties of fluorine atoms imparting medicinal properties with respect to the small size, electronegativity, lipophilicity, and ability for stereochemical control. This review deals with synthetic protocols for selective fluorination either at sugar or base moiety in a preformed nucleosides, nucleotides and nucleic acids using specific fluorinating reagents.

Abstract
We report here the in-cell NMR-spectroscopic observation of the binding of the cognate ligand 2'-deoxyguanosine to the aptamer domain of the bacterial 2'-deoxyguanosine-sensing riboswitch in eukaryotic cells, namely Xenopus laevis oocytes and in human HeLa cells. The riboswitch is sufficiently stable in both cell types to allow for detection of binding of the ligand to the riboswitch. Most importantly, we show that the binding mode established by in vitro characterization of this prokaryotic riboswitch is maintained in eukaryotic cellular environment. Our data also bring important methodological insights: Thus far, in-cell NMR studies on RNA in mammalian cells have been limited to investigations of short (<15 nt) RNA fragments that were extensively modified by protecting groups to limit their degradation in the intracellular space. Here, we show that the in-cell NMR setup can be adjusted for characterization of much larger (≈70 nt) functional and chemically non-modified RNA.

Abstract
We present the access to [5-19 F, 5-13 C]-uridine and -cytidine phosphoramidites for the production of site-specifically modified RNAs up to 65 nucleotides (nts). The amidites were used to introduce [5-19 F, 5-13 C]-pyrimidine labels into five RNAs-the 30 nt human immunodeficiency virus trans activation response (HIV TAR) 2 RNA, the 61 nt human hepatitis B virus ϵ (hHBV ϵ) RNA, the 49 nt SAM VI riboswitch aptamer domain from B. angulatum, the 29 nt apical stem loop of the pre-microRNA (miRNA) 21 and the 59 nt full length pre-miRNA 21. The main stimulus to introduce the aromatic 19 F-13 C-spin topology into RNA comes from a work of Boeszoermenyi et al., in which the dipole-dipole interaction and the chemical shift anisotropy relaxation mechanisms cancel each other leading to advantageous TROSY properties shown for aromatic protein sidechains. This aromatic 13 C-19 F labeling scheme is now transferred to RNA. We provide a protocol for the resonance assignment by solid phase synthesis based on diluted [5-19 F, 5-13 C]/[5-19 F] pyrimidine labeling. For the 61 nt hHBV ϵ we find a beneficial 19 F-13 C TROSY enhancement, which should be even more pronounced in larger RNAs and will facilitate the NMR studies of larger RNAs. The [19 F, 13 C]-labeling of the SAM VI aptamer domain and the pre-miRNA 21 further opens the possibility to use the biorthogonal stable isotope reporter nuclei in in vivo NMR to observe ligand binding and microRNA processing in a biological relevant setting.

Abstract
2'-O-[(4-Trifluoromethyl-triazol-1-yl)methyl] reporter groups have been incorporated into guanosine-rich RNA models (including a known bistable Qd/Hp RNA and two G-rich regions of mRNA of human prion protein, PrP) and applied for the 19 F NMR spectroscopic characterization of plausible G-quadruplex/hairpin (Qd/Hp) transitions in these RNA structures. For the synthesis of the CF3 -labeled RNAs, phosphoramidite building blocks of 2'-O-[(4-CF3 -triazol-1-yl)methyl] nucleosides (cytidine, adenosine, and guanosine) were prepared and used as an integral part of the standard solid-phase RNA synthesis. The obtained 19 F NMR spectra supported the usual characterization data (obtained by UV- and CD-melting profiles and by 1 H NMR spectra of the imino regions) and additionally gave more detailed information on the Qd/Hp transitions. The molar fractions of the secondary structural species (Qd, Hp) upon thermal denaturation and under varying ionic conditions could be determined from the intensities and shifts of the 19 F NMR signals. For a well-behaved Qd/Hp transition, thermodynamic parameters could be extracted.

Abstract
The 2′-trifluoromethylthio (2′-SCF3) modification endows ribonucleic acids with exceptional properties and has attracted considerable interest as a reporter group for NMR spectroscopic applications. However, only modified pyrimidine nucleosides have been generated so far. Here, the syntheses of 2′-SCF3 adenosine and guanosine phosphoramidites of which the latter was obtained in highly efficient manner by an unconventional Boc-protecting group strategy, are reported. RNA solid-phase synthesis provided site-specifically 2′-SCF3-modified oligoribonucleotides that were investigated intensively. Their excellent behavior in 19F NMR spectroscopic probing of RNA ligand binding was exemplified for a noncovalent small molecule–RNA interaction. Moreover, comparably to the 2′-SCF3 pyrimidine nucleosides, the purine counterparts were also found to cause a significant thermodynamic destabilization when located in double helical regions. This property was considered beneficial for siRNA design under the aspect to minimize off-target effects and their performance in silencing of the BASP1 gene was demonstrated.

Abstract
Protein-protein interactions are of utmost importance to an understanding of biological phenomena since non-covalent and therefore reversible couplings between basic proteins leads to the formation of complex regulatory and adaptive molecular systems. Such systems are capable of maintaining their integrity and respond to external stimuli, processes intimately related to living organisms. These interactions, however, span a wide range of dissociation constants, from sub-nanomolar affinities in tight complexes to high-micromolar or even millimolar affinities in weak, transiently formed protein complexes. Herein, we demonstrate how novel NMR and EPR techniques can be used for the characterization of weak protein-protein (ligand) complexes. Applications to intrinsically disordered proteins and transiently formed protein complexes illustrate the potential of these novel techniques to study hitherto unobserved (and unobservable) higher-order structures of proteins.

Abstract
In this study, DNA local structures with bulged bases and mismatched base pairs as well as ordinary full-matched base pairs by using (19)F NMR spectroscopy with (19)F-labeled oligodeoxynucleotides (ODNs) were monitored. The chemical shift change in the (19) F NMR spectra allowed discrimination of the DNA structures. Two types of ODNs possessing the bis(trifluoromethyl)benzene unit (F-unit) at specified uridines were prepared and hybridized with their complementary or noncomplementary strands to form matched, mismatched, or bulged duplexes. By using ODN F1, in which an F-unit was connected directly to a propargyl amine-substituted uridine, three local structures, that is, full-matched, G-U mismatch, and A-bulge could be analyzed, whereas other structures could not be discriminated. A molecular modeling study revealed that the F-unit in ODN F1 interacted little with the nucleobases and sugar backbone of the opposite strand because the linker length between the F-unit and the uridine base was too short. Therefore, the capacity of ODN F1 to discriminate the DNA local structures was limited. Thus, ODN F2 was designed to improve this system; aminobenzoic acid was inserted between the F-unit and uridine base so the F-unit could interact more closely with the opposite strand. Eventually, the G-bulge and T-U mismatch and the three aforementioned local structures could be discriminated by using ODN F2. In addition, the dissociation processes of these duplexes could be monitored concurrently by (19)F NMR spectroscopy.
