Abstract
The approach based on a combination of isothermal recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA), 2'-deoxyuridine-5'-triphosphate modified with tyrosine aromatic group (dUTP-Y1), and direct voltammetric detection of RPA product carrying electroactive labels was successfully applied to the potato pathogen Dickeya solani. The artificial nucleotide dUTP-Y1 demonstrated a good compatibility with RPA, enabling by targeting a section of D. solani genome with a unique sequence to produce the full-size modified products at high levels of substitution of dTTP by dUTP-Y1 (up to 80-90 %) in the reaction mixture. The optimized procedure of square wave voltammetry allowed to reliably detect the product generated by RPA at 80 % substitution of dTTP by dUTP-Y1 (dsDNA-Y1) in microliter sample volumes on the surface of disposable carbon screen printed electrodes at the potential of about 0.6 V. The calibration curve for the amplicon detection was linear in coordinates 'Ip, A vs. Log (c, M)' within the 0.05-1 μM concentration range. The limit of detection for dsDNA-Y1 was estimated as 8 nM. The sensitivity of the established electrochemical approach allowed to detect amplicons generated in a single standard 50 μL RPA reaction after their purification with silica-coated magnetic beads. The overall detectability of D. solani with the suggested combination of RPA and voltammetric registration of dsDNA-Y1 can be as low as a few copies of bacterial genome per standard reaction. In total, amplification, purification, and electrochemical detection take about 120-150 min. Considering the potential of direct electrochemical analysis for miniaturization, as well as compliance with low-cost and low-power requirements, the findings provide grounds for future development of microfluidic devices integrating isothermal amplification, amplicon purification and detection based on the tyrosine modified nucleotide for the purpose of 'on-site' detection of various pathogens.

Abstract
Synthetic nucleoside mimics are re-emerging as crucial contenders for antiviral and anticancer medications. While, Ribavirin stands out for its unique antiviral properties, predominantly associated with its distinctive triazole heterocycle as a nucleobase, the exploration of alternative nitrogen-based aromatic heterocycles hold great promises for the discovery of novel bioactive nucleoside mimics. Although nucleoside derivatives synthesized from hydrazine-ribose units have been in development for many decades, they have been little evaluated biologically and even less for their antiviral properties. With the aim of taking a closer look at these under-explored derivatives and investigating their synthetic pathways, this review provides an overview of the molecular design, the chemical synthesis, and the biological activity, when available, of these nucleoside analogues. Overall, the entire body of work already done motivates further exploration of these analogues and encourages us of formulating structurally novel nucleoside drug candidates featuring innovative mode of action.

Polymerase incorporation of 4-nitrophenyl modified 2'-deoxyuridine-5'-triphosphates into double-stranded DNA for direct electrochemical detection. J Pharm Biomed Anal 2024; 241:115977.

Abstract
Three novel 2'-deoxyuridine-5'-triphosphates modified with 4-nitrophenyl groups via various linkers (dUTP-N1, dUTP-N2, and dUTP-N3) were tested as bearers of reducible electroactive labels as well as substrates suitable for enzymes used in polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) with a potential application to direct electrochemical detection of double-stranded deoxyribonucleic acid (dsDNA). In cyclic and square wave voltammograms on carbon screen printed electrodes, the labeled dUTP have demonstrated distinct reduction peaks at potentials of -0.7 V to -0.9 V (phosphate buffer, pH 7.4). The reduction peak currents of dUTP-N derivatives were found to increase with their molar concentrations. The dUTP-N3 with a double bond in the linker had the lowest reduction potential (about 100 mV less negative) among the derivatives studied. Further, dUTP-N nucleotides were tested as substrates in PCR and RPA to incorporate the electroactive labels into 90, 210, or 206 base pair long dsDNA amplicons. However, only a dUTP-N1 derivative with a shorter linker without the double bond demonstrated satisfactory compatibility with both PCR and RPA, though with a low reaction output of modified dsDNA amplicons (at 100% substitution of dTTP). The dsDNA amplicons produced by PCR with 85% substitution of dTTP by the dUTP-N1 in the reaction mixture were successfully detected by square wave voltammetry at micromolar concentrations at high square wave frequency.

Abstract
(3,4-Dihydroxybut-1-ynyl)uracil, -cytosine and -7-deazaadenine 2'-deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates (dNTPs) were prepared by direct aqueous Sonogashira cross-coupling of halogenated dNTPs with dihydroxybut-1-yne and converted to 3,4-dihydroxybutyl dNTPs through catalytic hydrogenation. Sodium periodate oxidative cleavage of dihydroxybutyl-dUTP gave the desired aliphatic aldehyde-linked dUTP, whereas the oxidative cleavage of the corresponding deazaadenine dNTP gave a cyclic aminal. All dihydroxyalkyl or -alkynyl dNTPs and the formylethyl-dUTP were good substrates for DNA polymerases and were used for synthesis of diol- or aldehyde-linked DNA. The aldehyde linked DNA was used for the labelling or bioconjugations through hydrazone formation or reductive aminations.

Abstract
Successful selection of modified DNAzymes depends on the potential for modified nucleoside triphosphates (dNTPs) to replace their unmodified counterparts in enzyme catalyzed primer extension reactions and, once incorporated, to serve as template bases for information transfer prior to PCR amplification. To date, the most densely modified DNAzymes have been selected from three modified dNTPs: 8-histaminyl-deoxyadenosine (dAimTP), 5-guanidinoallyl-deoxyuridine (dUgaTP), and 5-aminoallyl-deoxycytidine (dCaaTP) to provide several RNA-cleaving DNAzymes with greatly enhanced rate constants compared to unmodified counterparts. Here we report biophysical and enzymatic properties of these three modified nucleosides in the context of specific oligonucleotide sequences to understand how these three modified nucleobases function in combinatorial selection. The base-pairing abilities of oligonucleotides bearing one or three modified nucleosides were investigated by thermal denaturation studies and as templates for enzymatic polymerization with both modified and unmodified dNTPs. While we address certain shortcomings in the use of modified dNTPs, we also provide key evidence of faithful incorporation and enzymatic read-out, which strongly supports their continued use in in vitro selection.

Abstract
The syntheses of 5-arylsulfanyl- or 5-arylselanylpyrimidine and 7-arylsulfanyl- or 7-arylselanyl-7-deazapurine nucleosides and nucleotides were developed by the Cu-mediated sulfanylations or selanylations of the corresponding 5-iodopyrimidine or 7-iodo-7-deazapurine nucleosides or nucleotides with diaryldisulfides or -diselenides. The reactions were also applicable for direct modifications of 2'-deoxycytidine triphosphate and the resulting 5-arylsulfanyl or 5-arylselanyl-dCTP served as substrates for the polymerase synthesis of modified DNA bearing arylsulfanyl or arylselanyl groups in the major groove.

Abstract
Redox-labeled nucleotides are of increasing interest for the fabrication of next generation molecular tools and should meet requirements of being thermally stable, sensitive, and compatible with polymerase-mediated incorporation while also being electrochemically discriminable. The synthesis and characterization of Keggin and Dawson polyoxometalate-deoxynucleotide (POM-dNTP) bioconjugates linked through 7-deaza-modified purines is described. The modified POM-dNTPs were used for polymerase-based amplification of a DNA sequence specific for Yersinia pestis and the amplified DNA detected using an electrochemical DNA sensor. This highlights the potential of polyoxometalates as thermally stable, sensitive and polymerase-compatible redox labels for exploitation in bioanalytical applications.

Abstract
To expand the chemical functionality of DNAzymes and aptamers, several new modified deoxyuridine triphosphates have been synthesized. An important precursor that enables this aim is 5-aminomethyl dUTP, whereby the pendent amine serves as a handle for further synthetic functionalization. Five functional groups were conjugated to 5-aminomethyl dUTP. Incorporation assays were performed on several templates that demand 2-5 sequential incorporation events using several commercially available DNA polymerases. It was found that Vent (exo-) DNA polymerase efficiently incorporates all five modified dUTPs. In addition, all nucleoside triphosphates were capable of supporting a double-stranded exponential PCR amplification. Modified PCR amplicons were PCR amplified into unmodified DNA and sequenced to verify that genetic information was conserved through incorporation, amplification, and reamplification. Overall these modified dUTPs represent new candidate substrates for use in selections using modified nucleotide libraries.

Abstract
A new azido-based DNA redox label which can be transformed into nitrophenyltriazole by a CuAAC click reaction was developed. It was used for the mapping of DNA–protein interactions with electrochemical detection.
New redox labelling of DNA by an azido group which can be chemically transformed to nitrophenyltriazole or silenced to phenyltriazole was developed and applied to the electrochemical detection of DNA–protein interactions. 5-(4-Azidophenyl)-2′-deoxycytidine and 7-(4-azidophenyl)-7-deaza-2′-deoxyadenosine nucleosides were prepared by aqueous-phase Suzuki cross-coupling and converted to nucleoside triphosphates (dNTPs) which served as substrates for incorporation into DNA by DNA polymerase. The azidophenyl-modified nucleotides and azidophenyl-modified DNA gave a strong signal in voltammetric studies, at –0.9 V, due to reduction of the azido function. The Cu-catalyzed click reaction of azidophenyl-modified nucleosides or azidophenyl-modified DNA with 4-nitrophenylacetylene gave nitrophenyl-substituted triazoles, exerting a reduction peak at –0.4 V under voltammetry, whereas the click reaction with phenylacetylene gave electrochemically silent phenyltriazoles. The transformation of the azidophenyl label to nitrophenyltriazole was used for electrochemical detection of DNA–protein interactions (p53 protein) since only those azidophenyl groups in the parts of the DNA not shielded by the bound p53 protein were transformed to nitrophenyltriazoles, whereas those covered by the protein were not.

Abstract
Aqueous-phase Heck coupling methodology was developed for direct attachment of butyl acrylate to 5-iodoracil, 5-iodocytosine, 7-iodo-7-deazaadenine, and 7-iodo-7-deazaguanine 2'-deoxyribonucleoside 5'-O-monophosphates (dNMPs) and 5'-O-triphosphates (dNTPs) and compared with the classical approach of phosphorylation of the corresponding modified nucleosides. The 7-substituted 7-deazapurine nucleotides (dA(BA)MP, dA(BA)TP, dG(BA)MP, and dG(BA)TP) were prepared by the direct Heck coupling of nucleotides in good yields (35-55%), whereas the pyrimidine nucleotides reacted poorly and the corresponding BA-modified dNTPs were prepared by triphosphorylation of the modified nucleosides. The acrylate-modified dN(BA)TPs (N = A, C, and U) were good substrates for DNA polymerases and were used for enzymatic synthesis of acrylate-modified DNA by primer extension, whereas dG(BA)TP was an inhibitor of polymerases. The butyl acrylate group was found to be a useful redox label giving a strong reduction peak at -1.3 to -1.4 V in cyclic voltammetry.

Abstract
Enzymatic synthesis of short (10-22 nt) base-modified oligonucleotides (ONs) was developed by nicking enzyme amplification reaction (NEAR) using Vent(exo-) polymerase, Nt.BstNBI nicking endonuclease, and a modified deoxyribonucleoside triphosphate (dNTP) derivative. The scope and limitations of the methodology in terms of different nucleobases, length, sequences, and modifications has been thoroughly studied. The methodology including isolation of the modified ONs was scaled up to nanomolar amounts and the modified ONs were successfully used as primers in primer extension and PCR. Two simple and efficient methods for fluorescent labeling of the PCR products were developed, based either on direct fluorescent labeling of primers or on NEAR synthesis of ethynylated primers, PCR, and final click labeling with fluorescent azides.

Abstract
Modified nucleosides (dA(R)s and dC(R)s) bearing bipyridine or terpyridine ligands attached through an octadiyne linker were prepared by single-step aqueous-phase Sonogashira cross-coupling of 7-iodo-7-deaza-2'-deoxyadenosine and 5-iodo-2'-deoxycytidine with the corresponding bipyridine- or terpyridine-octadiynes and were triphosphorylated to the corresponding nucleoside triphosphates (dA(R)TPs and dC(R)TPs). The modified dN(R)TPs were successfully incorporated into the oligonucleotides by primer extension experiment (PEX) using different DNA polymerases and the PEX products were used for post-synthetic complexation with divalent metal cations. The complexation of these DNAs containing flexibly-tethered ligands was compared with the previously reported ones bearing rigid acetylene-linked ligands suggesting the possible formation of both inter- and intra-strand complexes with Ni(2+) or Fe(2+).

Abstract
Enzymatic construction of single-nucleobase redox-labelled oligonucleotides was developed either based on polymerase incorporation of a single modified nucleoside triphosphate (dNTP) followed by primer extension (PEX) with natural dNTPs or based on PEX with a biotinylated one-nucleotide overhang template, magnetoseparation and the second PEX with a full-length template.

Abstract
The convenient use of SELEX and related combinatorial methods of in vitro selection provides a formidable gateway for the generation of DNA enzymes, especially in the context of improving their potential as gene therapeutic agents. Here, we report on the selection of DNAzyme 12-91, a modified nucleic acid catalyst adorned with imidazole, ammonium, and guanidinium groups that provide for efficient M(2+)-independent cleavage of an all-RNA target sequence (kobs = 0.06 min(-1)). While Dz12-91 was selected for intramolecular cleavage of an all-RNA target, it surprisingly cleaves a target containing a lone ribocytosine unit with even greater efficiency (kobs = 0.27 min(-1)) than Dz9-86 (kobs = 0.13 min(-1)). The sequence composition of Dz12-91 bears a marked resemblance to that of Dz9-86 (kobs = 0.0014 min(-1) with an all-RNA substrate) that was selected from the same library to cleave a target containing a single ribonucleotide. However, small alterations in the sequence composition have a profound impact on the substrate preference and catalytic properties. Indeed, Dz12-91 displays the highest known rate enhancement for the M(2+)-independent cleavage of all-RNA targets. Hence, Dz12-91 represents a step toward the generation of potentially therapeutically active DNAzymes and further underscores the usefulness of modified triphosphates in selection experiments.

Abstract
Post-synthesis modification of DNA is an important way of functionalizing DNA molecules. Herein, we describe a method that first enzymatically incorporates a cyanobenzothiazole (CBT)-modified thymidine. The side-chain handle CBT can undergo a rapid and site-specific cyclization reaction with 1,2-aminothiols to afford DNA functionalization in aqueous solution. Another key advantage of this method is the formation of a single stereo/regioisomer in the process, which allows for precise control of DNA modification to yield a single component for aptamer selection work and other applications.

Abstract
Nucleoside triphosphates are moldable entities that can easily be functionalized at various locations. The enzymatic polymerization of these modified triphosphate analogues represents a versatile platform for the facile and mild generation of (highly) functionalized nucleic acids. Numerous modified triphosphates have been utilized in a broad palette of applications spanning from DNA-tagging and -labeling to the generation of catalytic nucleic acids. This review will focus on the recent progress made in the synthesis of modified nucleoside triphosphates as well as on the understanding of the mechanisms underlying their polymerase acceptance. In addition, the usefulness of chemically altered dNTPs in SELEX and related methods of in vitro selection will be highlighted, with a particular emphasis on the generation of modified DNA enzymes (DNAzymes) and DNA-based aptamers.
