Abstract
Heterochiral DNA with hydrogen-bonded and silver-mediated base pairs have been constructed using complementary strands with nucleosides with α-d or β-d configuration. Anomeric phosphoramidites were employed to assemble the oligonucleotides. According to the Tm values and thermodynamic data, the duplex stability of the heterochiral duplexes was similar to that of homochiral DNA, but mismatch discrimination was better in heterochiral DNA. Replacement of purines by 7-deazapurines resulted in stable parallel duplexes, thereby confirming Watson-Crick-type base pairing. When cytosine was facing cytosine, thymine or adenine residues, duplex DNA formed silver-mediated base pairs in the presence of silver ions. Although the CD spectra of single strands with α-d configuration display mirror-like shapes to those with the β-d configuration, the CD spectra of the hydrogen-bonded duplexes and those with a limited number of silver pairs show a B-type double helix almost indistinguishable from natural DNA. Nonmelting silver ion-DNA complexes with entirely different CD spectra were generated when the number of silver ions was equal to the number of base pairs.

Abstract
Formation of silver-mediated DNA was studied with oligonucleotides incorporating 8-aza-7-deazapurine, 7-deazapurine, and purine nucleosides. The investigation was performed on non-self-complementary duplexes with one or two modifications and self-complementary duplexes with an alternating dA-dT motif. Homo base pairs as well as base pair mismatches of dA analogues with dC and Watson-Crick pairs with dT were studied by stoichiometric silver ion titration and Tm measurements. N8 -Glycosylated 8-aza-7-deazaadenine forms silver-ion-mediated base pairs capturing two silver ions (low silver content) whereas regularly glycosylated 8-aza-7-deazapurine, 7-deazapurine (c7 Ad ), and dA do not form comparable structures. Stable silver-mediated "dA-dC" base pair mismatches were detected for all nucleosides. Two silver ions per base pair are bound by 8-aza-7-deazapurine whereas c7 Ad binds only one silver ion. The situation is different when the equivalents of silver ions were increased to the number of total base pairs. Surprisingly, in 12-mer duplexes as well as in related 25-mer duplexes every base pair consumed one silver ion.

Abstract
10-23 DNAzyme is capable of catalytically cleaving RNA substrates with the preferred cleavage sites rAU and rGU, in which the common base pair U-dA0 forms between the substrate and the DNAzyme in the cleavage reaction. Here its conservation was studied with base modifications on dA and extra functional groups introduced. The nitrogen atom at 7- or 8-position of adenine was demonstrated to be equally important for the cleavage reaction, although it is not related to the thermal stability of the base pair. Deletion of 6-amino group led to decreased stability of the base pair and a slight slower reaction rate. Extra functional groups through 6-amino group were not favorably accommodated in the cleavage site. From these modifications at the level of functional groups, it demonstrated that the base pair U-dA0 not only contributes to the recognition and binding stability, but also it is involved in the active catalytic center by its functional groups and base stacking. This kind of chemical modifications with 7-substituted 8-aza-7-deaza-2'-deoxyadenosine at dA0 is favorable for the introduction of signal molecules for mechanistic studies and biological applications, without significant loss of the catalytic function and structural destruction.

Abstract
We describe the design and proof of concept of a pair of chemical probes for investigating DNA-protein interactions-specifically, the incorporation of 7-bromo-7-deazaadenine and 3-bromo-3-deazaadenine 2'-deoxynucleosides (Br(7)C(7)dA and Br(3)C(3)dA) into oligodeoxynucleotides (ODNs)-and their utility. Whereas the bromo substituent of the Br(7)C(7)dA unit in an ODN duplex acts sterically to inhibit binding with NF-kappaB, which interacts with the duplex in its major groove, the bromo substituent of the Br(3)C(3)dA unit acts sterically to inhibit binding with RNase H, which interacts with the duplex in its minor groove. In addition, the utilization of ODNs containing 7-deazaadenine and 3-deazaadenine 2'-deoxynucleosides (C(7)dA and C(3)dA), together with the pair of chemical probes, afforded valuable information on the requirement for nitrogen atoms located in either the major or minor grooves. Accordingly, we were able to show the utility of ODNs containing Br(7)C(7)dA, Br(3)C(3)dA, C(7)dA, and C(3)dA for the investigation of DNA-protein interactions.

Abstract
We propose a new strategy called the ‘Protected DNA Probes (PDP) method’ in which appropriately protected bases selectively bind to the complementary bases without the removal of their base protecting groups. Previously, we reported that 4-N-acetylcytosine oligonucleotides (ac4C) exhibited a higher hybridization affinity for ssDNA than the unmodified oligonucleotides. For the PDP strategy, we created a modified adenine base and synthesized an N-acylated deoxyadenosine mimic having 6-N-acetyl-8-aza-7-deazaadenine (ac6az8c7A). It was found that PDP containing ac4C and ac6az8c7A exhibited higher affinity for the complementary ssDNA than the corresponding unmodified DNA probes and showed similar base recognition ability. Moreover, it should be noted that this PDP strategy could guarantee highly efficient synthesis of DNA probes on controlled pore glass (CPG) with high purity and thereby could eliminate the time-consuming procedures for isolating DNA probes. This strategy could also avoid undesired base-mediated elimination of DNA probes from CPG under basic conditions such as concentrated ammonia solution prescribed for removal of base protecting groups in the previous standard approach. Here, several successful applications of this strategy to single nucleotide polymorphism detection are also described in detail using PDPs immobilized on glass plates and those prepared on CPG plates, suggesting its potential usefulness.

Abstract
Various 2-substituted 2'-deoxyadenosines and 7-deazaadenosines have been synthesized. The phosphonate building block 9 of 2-chloro-7-deaza-2'-deoxyadenosine (7-deazacladribine; 2) was prepared by 4,4'-dimethoxytritylation of the parent nucleoside (-->7), followed by protection of the amino function with a formamidine residue (-->8). The latter was reacted with PCl3/N-methylmorpholine/1,2,4-triazole to give compound 9. Moreover, 2-methoxy-2'-deoxyadenosine (2'-deoxyspongosine; 1b) was converted into the fully protected derivative 12, which was then transformed into the 2-cyanoethyl phosphoramidite 14. Also the 2-(trifluoromethyl)-substituted 2'-deoxyadenosines 19-21 were prepared by glycosylation of the chromophore 16 with the halogenose 17, followed by one-pot deprotection and nucleophilic displacement of the 6-Cl substituent. The new DNA building blocks 9 and 14 were used--together with formerly prepared cladribine derivative 4--for solid-phase synthesis of a series of oligodeoxyribonucleotides. These were studied with respect to their thermal stability as well as of the base pairing mode (Watson-Crick vs. Hoogsteen) of modified bases.

Abstract
The 7-deazaguanine (2-aminopyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-one) C(8)-(2'-deoxy-beta-D-ribofuranoside) (6b), which possesses an unusual glycosylation site, was synthesized and incorporated in oligonucleotides. The oligonucleotides were prepared by solid-phase synthesis using phosphoramidite chemistry and were hybridized to form duplex DNA. Compound 6b is able to form base pairs with 2'-deoxy-5-methylisocytidine (m(5)isoC(d)) in oligonucleotide duplexes with antiparallel chain orientation and with dC in parallel duplex DNA. Thus, the C(8)-nucleoside 6b shows a similar base recognition as 2'-deoxyisoguanosine but not as 2'-deoxyguanosine. This indicates that the nucleic acid recognition not only depends on the donor-acceptor pattern of the nucleobase but is influenced by the glycosylation site. Base pairs of compound 6b formed with canonical and modified nucleosides are proposed.

Oligonucleotides carrying compound 2 are able to form base pairs with the four canonical DNA constituents without significant structural discrimination. The nucleoside 4 was obtained from the corresponding ribonucleoside by deoxygenation. Oligonucleotides containing compound 4 showed similar base pairing properties as those with 2'-deoxyisoguanosine.

Abstract
Bacteriophage T5 5'-->3' exonuclease is a member of a family of sequence related 5'-nucleases which play an essential role in DNA replication. The 5'-nucleases have both exonucleolytic and structure-specific endo-nucleolytic DNA cleavage activity and are conserved in organisms as diverse as bacteriophage and mammals. Here, we report the development of a structure-specific single cleavage assay for this enzyme which uses a 5'-overhanging hairpin substrate. The products of DNA hydrolysis are characterised by mass spectrometry. The steady-state catalytic parameters of the enzyme are reported and it is concluded that T5 5'-->3' exonuclease accelerates the cleavage of a specific phosphodiester bond by a factor of at least 10(15). The catalytic assay has been extended to three mutants of T5 5'-->3' exonuclease, K83A, K196A and K215A. Mutation of any of these three lysine residues to alanine is detrimental to catalytic efficiency. All three lysines contribute to ground state binding of the substrate. In addition, K83 plays a significant role in the chemical reaction catalysed by this enzyme. Possible roles for mutated lysine residues are discussed.

Abstract
Synthetic oligonucleotide analogs have greatly aided our understanding of several biochemical processes. Efficient solid-phase and enzyme-assisted synthetic methods and the availability of modified base analogs have added to the utility of such oligonucleotides. In this review, we discuss the applications of synthetic oligonucleotides that contain backbone, base, and sugar modifications to investigate the mechanism and stereochemical aspects of biochemical reactions. We also discuss interference mapping of nucleic acid-protein interactions; spectroscopic analysis of biochemical reactions and nucleic acid structures; and nucleic acid cross-linking studies. The automation of oligonucleotide synthesis, the development of versatile phosphoramidite reagents, and efficient scale-up have expanded the application of modified oligonucleotides to diverse areas of fundamental and applied biological research. Numerous reports have covered oligonucleotides for which modifications have been made of the phosphodiester backbone, of the purine and pyrimidine heterocyclic bases, and of the sugar moiety; these modifications serve as structural and mechanistic probes. In this chapter, we review the range, scope, and practical utility of such chemically modified oligonucleotides. Because of space limitations, we discuss only those oligonucleotides that contain phosphate and phosphate analogs as internucleotidic linkages.

Abstract
The synthesis of 7-propynyl-, 7-iodo- and 7-cyano-7-deaza-2-amino-2'-deoxyadenosines is described. The nucleosides were synthesized, functionalized into the phosphoramidites and incorporated into oligodeoxynucleotides. Spectroscopic melting experiments against complementary RNA showed increases of 3-4 degreesC per modification for single substitutions and smaller increases per incorporation for multiple substitutions relative to unmodified control sequences. The 7-propyne and 7-iodo nucleosides were incorporated into antisense sequences targeting the 3'-UTR of murine C- raf mRNA. Both nucleosides demonstrated substitution-dependent potency. The sequences with three and four substitutions of the 7-propyne-7-deaza-2-amino-2'-deoxyadenosine exhibited a 2-3-fold increase in potency over unmodifed controls.

Abstract
A high-angle X-ray fibre diffraction study of a tubercidin analogue of the poly[d(A-T)].poly[d(A-T)] DNA double helix has been carried out using station 7.2 at the Daresbury Laboratory synchrotron radiation source. The polymer has been studied for a wide range of salt strengths and hydration conditions and exhibits conformational polymorphism that is quite distinct from that observed for the unmodified polymer. The replacement of deoxyadenosine by deoxytubercidin in the polynucleotide causes only slight alterations to the structure of A-DNA, but significantly alters the structure of the B conformation. Additionally, the modified polymer does not, in any conditions yet identified, adopt the D conformation. In conditions which would normally favour the D conformation of poly[d(A-T)].poly[d(A-T)], the modified polymer adopts an unusual conformation which is designated here as the K conformation. These observations are important for an understanding of major groove interactions involved in the stabilisation of particular DNA conformations and also more generally for an insight into the pharmacological activity of tubercidin which following its incorporation into nucleic acids may cause stereochemical distortions of the DNA double helix.
