Abstract
Programmed DNA structures and assemblies are readily accessible, but site-specific functionalization is critical to realize applications in various fields such as nanoelectronics, nanomaterials and biomedicine. Besides pre- and post-DNA synthesis conjugation strategies, on-solid support reactions offer advantages in certain circumstances. We describe on-solid support internucleotide coupling reactions, often considered undesirable, and a workaround strategy to overcome them. Palladium coupling reactions enabled on-solid support intra- and interstrand coupling between single-stranded DNAs (ss-DNAs). Dilution with a capping agent suppressed interstrand coupling, maximizing intrastrand coupling. Alternatively, interstrand coupling actually proved advantageous to provide dimeric organic/DNA conjugates that could be conveniently separated from higher oligomers, and was more favorable with longer terphenyl coupling partners.

Mikami A, Mori S, Osawa T, Obika S. Post-Synthetic Nucleobase Modification of Oligodeoxynucleotides by Sonogashira Coupling and Influence of Alkynyl Modifications on the Duplex-Forming Ability. Chemistry 2023; 29:e202301928. [PMID: 37635089 DOI: 10.1002/chem.202301928] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/17/2023] [Revised: 08/23/2023] [Accepted: 08/25/2023] [Indexed: 08/29/2023]
Abstract
Recently, it was reported that the alkynyl modification of nucleobases mitigates the toxicity of antisense oligonucleotides (ASO) while maintaining the efficacy. However, the general effect of alkynyl modifications on the duplex-forming ability of oligonucleotides (ONs) is unclear. In this study, post-synthetic nucleobase modification by Sonogashira coupling in aqueous medium was carried out to efficiently evaluate the physiological properties of various ONs with alkynyl-modified nucleobases. Although several undesired reactions, including nucleobase cyclization, were observed, various types of alkynyl-modified ONs were successfully obtained via Sonogashira coupling of ONs containing iodinated nucleobases. Evaluation of the stability of the duplex formed by the synthesized alkynyl-modified ONs showed that the alkynyl modification of pyrimidine was less tolerated than that of purine, although both the modifications occurred in the major groove of the duplex. These results can be attributed to the bond angle of the alkyne on the pyrimidine and the close proximity of the alkynyl substituents to the phosphodiester backbone. The synthetic method developed in this study may contribute to the screening of the optimal chemical modification of ASO because various alkynyl-modified ONs that are effective in reducing the toxicity of ASO can be easily synthesized by this method.

Abstract
Synthetic unnatural base pairs have been proven to be attractive tools for the development of DNA-based biotechnology. Our group has very recently reported on alkynylated purine-pyridazine pairs, which exhibit selective and stable base-pairing via hydrogen bond formation between pseudo-nucleobases in the major groove of duplex DNA. In this study, we attempted to develop an on-column synthesis methodology of oligodeoxynucleotides (ODNs) containing alkynylated purine derivatives to systematically explore the relationship between the structure and the corresponding base-pairing ability. Through Sonogashira coupling of the ethynyl pseudo-nucleobases and CPG-bound ODNs containing 6-iodopurine, we have demonstrated the synthesis of the ODNs containing three NPu derivatives (NPu1, NPu2, NPu3) as well as three OPu derivatives (OPu1, OPu2, OPu3). The base-pairing properties of each alkynylated purine derivative revealed that the structures of pseudo-nucleobases influence the base pair stability and selectivity. Notably, we found that OPu1 bearing 2-pyrimidinone exhibits higher stability to the complementary NPz than the original OPu, thereby demonstrating the potential of the on-column strategy for convenient screening of the alkynylated purine derivatives with superior pairing ability.

Abstract
Oligonucleotides containing modified nucleobases have applications in various technologies. In general, to synthesize oligonucleotides with different nucleobase structures, each modified phosphoramidite monomer needs to be prepared over multiple steps and then introduced onto the oligonucleotides, which is time-consuming and inefficient. Post-synthetic modification is a powerful strategy for preparing many types of modified oligonucleotides, especially nucleobase-modified ones. Depending on the stage of modification, post-synthetic modification can be divided into two stages: "solid-phase modification," wherein an oligonucleotide attaches to the resin, and "solution-phase modification," wherein an oligonucleotide detaches itself from the resin. In this review, we focus on post-synthetic modification in solution for the synthesis of nucleobase-modified oligonucleotides, except the modifications to linkers for conjugation. Moreover, the reactions are summarized for each modified position of the nucleobases.

Abstract
All four iodinated 2'-deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates (dNTPs) derived from 5-iodouracil, 5-iodocytosine, 7-iodo-7-deazaadenine and 7-iodo-7-deazaguanine were prepared and studied as substrates for KOD XL DNA polymerase. All of the nucleotides were readily incorporated by primer extension and by PCR amplification to form DNA containing iodinated nucleobases. Systematic study of the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions with two bulkier arylboronic acids revealed that the 5-iodopyrimidines were more reactive and gave cross-coupling products both in the terminal or internal position in single-stranded oligonucleotides (ssONs) and in the terminal position of double-stranded DNA (dsDNA), whereas the 7-iodo-7-deazapurines were less reactive and gave cross-coupling products only in the terminal position. None of the four iodinated bases reacted in an internal position of dsDNA. These findings are useful for the use of the iodinated nucleobases for post-synthetic modification of DNA with functional groups for various applications.

Abstract
The chemical synthesis of modified oligoribonucleotides represents a powerful approach to study the structure, stability, and biological activity of RNAs. Selected RNA modifications have been proven to enhance the drug-like properties of RNA oligomers providing the oligonucleotide-based therapeutic agents in the antisense and siRNA technologies. The important sites of RNA modification/functionalization are the nucleobase residues. Standard phosphoramidite RNA chemistry allows the site-specific incorporation of a large number of functional groups to the nucleobase structure if the building blocks are synthetically obtainable and stable under the conditions of oligonucleotide chemistry and work-up. Otherwise, the chemically modified RNAs are produced by post-synthetic oligoribonucleotide functionalization. This review highlights the post-synthetic RNA modification approach as a convenient and valuable method to introduce a wide variety of nucleobase modifications, including recently discovered native hypermodified functional groups, fluorescent dyes, photoreactive groups, disulfide crosslinks, and nitroxide spin labels.

Abstract
DNA-encoded compound libraries are widely used in drug discovery. Screening of catalysts for compatibility with solid phase-coupled DNA sequences guided the selection of encoded reactions, exemplified by a Zn(II)-mediated aza-Diels–Alder reaction.
DNA-encoded compound libraries are a widely used technology for target-based small molecule screening. Generally, these libraries are synthesized by solution phase combinatorial chemistry requiring aqueous solvent mixtures and reactions that are orthogonal to DNA reactivity. Initiating library synthesis with readily available controlled pore glass-coupled DNA barcodes benefits from enhanced DNA stability due to nucleobase protection and choice of dry organic solvents for encoded compound synthesis. We screened the compatibility of solid-phase coupled DNA sequences with 53 metal salts and organic reagents. This screening experiment suggests design of encoded library synthesis. Here, we show the reaction optimization and scope of three sp3-bond containing heterocyclic scaffolds synthesized on controlled pore glass-connected DNA sequences. A ZnCl2-promoted aza-Diels–Alder reaction with Danishefsky's diene furnished diverse substituted DNA-tagged pyridones, and a phosphoric acid organocatalyst allowed for synthesis of tetrahydroquinolines by the Povarov reaction and pyrimidinones by the Biginelli reaction, respectively. These three reactions caused low levels of DNA depurination and cover broad and only partially overlapping chemical space though using one set of DNA-coupled starting materials.

Abstract
DNA-encoded libraries of chemically synthesized compounds are an important small molecule screening technology. The synthesis of encoded compounds in solution is currently restricted to a few DNA-compatible and water-tolerant reactions. Encoded compound synthesis of short DNA-barcodes covalently connected to solid supports benefits from a broad range of choices of organic solvents. Here, we show that this encoded chemistry approach allows for the synthesis of DNA-coupled isoquinolones by an Yb(iii)-mediated Castagnoli-Cushman reaction under anhydrous reaction conditions and for the synthesis of highly substituted pyrrolidines by Ag(i)-mediated 1,3-dipolar azomethine ylide cycloaddition. An encoding scheme for these DNA-barcoded compounds based on a DNA hairpin is demonstrated.

Abstract
The on-column functionalization of oligodeoxynucleotides via base-free Suzuki cross-coupling reactions is reported herein. These cross-coupling reactions were carried out with various boronic acids and either full-length modified oligonucleotides containing one or more 2'-deoxy-5-iodouridine (5IdU) monomer(s) or on oligonucleotide fragments immediately after incorporation of 5IdU. Five different functionalities were coupled to oligonucleotides containing one or three attachment points.

Abstract
Over the last few years, DNA-surfactant complexes have gained traction as unique and powerful materials for potential applications ranging from optoelectronics to biomedicine because they self-assemble with outstanding flexibility spanning packing modes from ordered lamellar, hexagonal and cubic structures to disordered isotropic phases. These materials consist of a DNA backbone from which the surfactants protrude as non-covalently bound side chains. Their formation is electrostatically driven and they form bulk films, lyotropic as well as thermotropic liquid crystals and hydrogels. This structural versatility and their easy-to-tune properties render them ideal candidates for assembly in bulk films, for example granting directional conductivity along the DNA backbone, for dye dispersion minimizing fluorescence quenching allowing applications in lasing and nonlinear optics or as electron blocking and hole transporting layers, such as in LEDs or photovoltaic cells, owing to their extraordinary dielectric properties. However, they do not only act as host materials but also function as a chromophore itself. They can be employed within electrochromic DNA-surfactant liquid crystal displays exhibiting remarkable absorptivity in the visible range whose volatility can be controlled by the external temperature. Concomitantly, applications in the biological field based on DNA-surfactant bulk films, liquid crystals and hydrogels are rendered possible by their excellent gene and drug delivery capabilities. Beyond the mere exploitation of their material properties, DNA-surfactant complexes proved outstandingly useful for synthetic chemistry purposes when employed as scaffolds for DNA-templated reactions, nucleic acid modifications or polymerizations. These promising examples are by far not exhaustive but foreshadow their potential applications in yet unexplored fields. Here, we will give an insight into the peculiarities and perspectives of each material and are confident to inspire future developments and applications employing this emerging substance class.

Abstract
Propargylamines are a versatile class of compounds which find broad application in many fields of chemistry. This review aims to describe the different strategies developed so far for the synthesis of propargylamines and their derivatives as well as to highlight their reactivity and use as building blocks in the synthesis of chemically relevant organic compounds. In the first part of the review, the different synthetic approaches to synthesize propargylamines, such as A3 couplings and C-H functionalization of alkynes, have been described and organized on the basis of the catalysts employed in the syntheses. Both racemic and enantioselective approaches have been reported. In the second part, an overview of the transformations of propargylamines into heterocyclic compounds such as pyrroles, pyridines, thiazoles, and oxazoles, as well as other relevant organic derivatives, is presented.

Abstract
We developed a novel technique for the efficient conjugation of oligonucleotides with various alkyl azides such as fluorescent dyes, biotin, cholesterol, N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc), etc. using copper-catalysed alkyne-azide cycloaddition on the solid phase and CuI·P(OEt)3 as a catalyst. Conjugation is carried out in an oligonucleotide synthesizer in fully automated mode and is coupled to oligonucleotide synthesis and on-column deprotection. We also suggest a set of reagents for the construction of diverse conjugates. The sequential double-click procedure using a pentaerythritol-derived tetraazide followed by the addition of a GalNAc or Tris-GalNAc alkyne gives oligonucleotide-GalNAc dendrimer conjugates in good yields with minimal excess of sophisticated alkyne reagents. The approach is suitable for high-throughput synthesis of oligonucleotide conjugates ranging from fluorescent DNA probes to various multi-GalNAc derivatives of 2'-modified siRNA.

Abstract
DNA-incorporating hydrophobic moieties can be synthesized by either solid-phase or solution-phase coupling. On a solid support the DNA is protected, and hydrophobic units are usually attached employing phosphoramidite chemistry involving a DNA synthesizer. On the other hand, solution coupling in aqueous medium results in low yields due to the solvent incompatibility of DNA and hydrophobic compounds. Hence, the development of a general coupling method for producing amphiphilic DNA conjugates with high yield in solution remains a major challenge. Here, we report an organic-phase coupling strategy for nucleic acid modification and polymerization by introducing a hydrophobic DNA-surfactant complex as a reactive scaffold. A remarkable range of amphiphile-DNA structures (DNA-pyrene, DNA-triphenylphosphine, DNA-hydrocarbon, and DNA block copolymers) and a series of new brush-type DNA side-chain homopolymers with high DNA grafting density are produced efficiently. We believe that this method is an important breakthrough in developing a generalized approach to synthesizing functional DNA molecules for self-assembly and related technological applications.

Abstract
Several 7-(hydroxy, amino, methylureido, and guanidino)alkynyl-substituted 8-aza-7-deaza- hypoxanthine analogues were investigated as potential universal nucleobases. 7-Aminobutynyl-8-aza-7-deazahypoxanthine was found to be the most promising quasi-universal nucleobase with improved hybridization and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) enhancing properties as compared to commonly used hypoxanthine (the nucleobase of inosine). It demonstrated improved ambiguity for pairing with A, T, and C bases and its base pairing properties can be summarized as follows: X:C∼X:A∼X:T > X:G. The improvement in PCR performance directly correlated with primer's Tm. Primers containing multiple 7-aminobutynyl-8-aza-7-deazahypoxanthines were successfully used without noticeable inhibition of Taq polymerase activity provided the modifications are positioned more than two bases away from the 3' end.

Abstract
Stille Coupling is a versatile C-C bond forming reaction with high functional group tolerance under mild conditions. Our on column synthesis concept for RNA modification is based on the incorporation of iodo substituted nucleotide precursors to RNA during automated standard solid phase synthesis via TBDMS-, TC-, and ACE- protecting group strategies. Subsequently, the RNA, still bound on solid support, is ready for orthogonal postsynthetic functionalization via Stille cross-couplings utilizing the advantages of solid phase synthesis. Several monomer test reactions were employed with 2-iodo adenosine and 5-iodo uridine and organostannanes as coupling partners under different conditions, changing the catalyst/ligand system, temperature, and reaction time as well as conventional heating and microwave irradiation. Finally, Stille cross-couplings under optimized conditions were transferred to fully protected 5-mer and 12-mer RNA oligonucleotides on-column. Deprotection and cleavage from solid support resulted in site-specifically labeled oligonucleotides. Derivatizations via Stille cross-couplings were performed initially with vinyltributylstannane as well as later with 2-furanyl-, 2-thiophene-, and benzothiophene-2-tributylstannanes yielding fluorescently functionalized RNA.

Abstract
A synthetic methodology for the synthesis of various β-pyrrolic-functionalised porphyrins and their covalent attachment to 2'-deoxyuridine and DNA is described. Palladium(0)-catalysed Sonogashira and copper(I)-catalysed Huisgen 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions were used to insert porphyrins into the structure of 2'-deoxyuridine and DNA. Insertion of a porphyrin into the middle of single-stranded CT oligonucleotides possessing a 5'-terminal run of four cytosines was shown to trigger the formation of pH- and temperature-dependent i-motif structures. Porphyrin insertion also led to the aggregation of single-stranded purine-pyrimidine sequences, which could be dissociated by heating at 90 °C for 5 min. Parallel triplexes and anti-parallel duplexes were formed in the presence of the appropriate complementary strand(s). Depending on the modification, porphyrins were placed in the major and minor grooves of duplexes and were used as bulged intercalating insertions in duplexes and triplexes. In general, the thermal stabilisation of parallel triplexes possessing porphyrin-modified triplex-forming oligonucleotide (TFO) strands was observed, whereas anti-parallel duplexes were destabilised. These results are compared and discussed on the basis of the results of molecular modelling calculations.

Abstract
The photophysics of pyrene attached to an adenine base within RNA single strands and duplexes is examined with respect to the position of the pyrene within the strand and the number of pyrenes attached to one duplex. Compounds with pyrenes intercalating sequence specifically are examined, as well as a doubly modified compound, where the two pyrenes are located close enough to each other for significant excimer interaction. Femtosecond transient absorption measurements and time correlated single photon counting measurements allow a thorough examination of the local influences on the pyrene photophysics. Our results suggest that optical excitation establishes an equilibration between two molecular states of different spectroscopic properties and lifetimes that are coupled only via the excited state as a gateway. One of them is a neutral pyrene-adenine excited state, S*, while the second one is connected to an excited charge transfer state, S*(CT). In all compounds, an ultrafast sub-ps decay from a higher excited state into the lowest excited state S* occurs, and an excited charge transfer species S*(CT) is formed within picoseconds. The fluorescence behavior of the pyrene-modified adenine, however, is strongly dependent on RNA conformation. Both S* and S*(CT) states are fluorescent, and decay within hundreds of picoseconds and approximately 2 ns, respectively. The ratio between S* and S*(CT) fluorescence depends strongly on pyrene intercalation, and it is found that the S* state is quenched selectively upon intercalation of the pyrene into RNA. The doubly modified duplex exhibits an additional fluorescent state with a lifetime of 18.7 ns, which is associated with the pyrene excimer state. This state coexists with a significant population of the pyrene monomer, since the characteristic features of the latter can still be observed. Formation of the excimer occurs on femtosecond time scales. The pyrene label thus provides a sensitive tool to monitor the local structural dynamics of RNA with the chromophore acting as a molecular beacon.

Abstract
Direct radical addition reactions at the C(8)-site of 2'-deoxyguanosine (dG) can afford C(8)-Ar-dG adducts that are produced by carcinogenic arylhydrazines, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and certain phenolic toxins. Such modified nucleobases are also highly fluorescent for sensing applications and possess useful electron transfer properties. The site-specific synthesis of oligonucleotides containing the C(8)-Ar-G adduct can be problematic. These lesions are sensitive to acids and oxidants that are commonly used in solid-phase DNA synthesis and are too bulky to be accepted as substrates for enzymatic synthesis by DNA polymerases. Using the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction, we have synthesized a number of C(8)-Ar-G-modified oligonucleotides (dimers, trimers, decamers, and a 15-mer) using a range of arylboronic acids. Good to excellent yields were obtained, and the reaction is insensitive to the nature of the bases flanking the convertible 8-Br-G nucleobase, as both pyrimidines and purines are tolerated. The impact of the C(8)-Ar-G lesion was also characterized by electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry, UV melting temperature analysis, circular dichroism, and fluorescence spectroscopy. The C(8)-Ar-G-modified oligonucleotides are expected to be useful substrates for diagnostic applications and understanding the biological impact of the C(8)-Ar-G lesion.

Abstract
A series of short RNA duplexes containing one or two 1-ethynylpyrene-modified adenine bases was synthesised. The melting behaviour of these duplexes was examined by monitoring temperature-dependent pyrene fluorescence. In the singly modified RNA duplexes, the bases flanking the ethynylpyrene-rA were varied to examine the sequence specificity of the fluorescence change of pyrene upon RNA hybridisation. Because an increase in pyrene fluorescence upon melting of the duplex can be correlated with intercalation of pyrene, and a decrease is usually associated with the position of pyrene outside the strand, a relationship between the flanking bases and the tendency of the dye to intercalate has been established. It was found that pyrene intercalation is less likely to take place if the modified base is flanked only by A-U base pairs. Flanking G-C base pairs, even only in the 5'-direction of the modified base, will favour intercalation. In addition, we examined a doubly modified compound that had a pyrene located on each strand. The spectra indicated that the two pyrenes were close enough for interaction. Upon melting of the strand, a fluorescence blue shift corresponding to the dissociation of the pyrene-pyrene complex could be observed in addition to the intensity effect already known from the singly modified compounds. Two melting curves based on the different properties of the fluorophore could be extracted, leading to different melting points corresponding to the global duplex melting and to the change of local pyrene environment, respectively.

Abstract
We explore the potential of the Diels-Alder cycloaddition for the functional tagging of DNA strands. A deoxyuridine triphosphate derivative carrying a diene at position 5 of the pyrimidine base was synthesized using a two-step procedure. The derivative was efficiently accepted as substrate in enzymatic polymerization assays. Diene carrying strands underwent successful cycloaddition with maleimide-terminated fluorescence dyes and a polymeric reagent. Furthermore, a nucleotide carrying a peptide via a Diels-Alder cyclohexene linkage was prepared and sequence-specifically incorporated into DNA. The Diels-Alder reaction presents a number of positive attributes such as good chemoselectivity, water compatibility, high-yield under mild conditions and no additional reagents apart from a diene and a dienophile. Furthermore, suitable dienophiles are commercially available in the form of maleimide-derivatives of fluorescent dyes and bioaffinity tags. Based on these advantages, diene- and cyclohexene-based nucleotide triphosphates are expected to find wider use in the area of nucleic acid chemistry.

Abstract
To broaden the scope of applications in DNA nano- and biotechnology, material science, diagnostics and molecular recognition the functionalization of DNA is of utmost importance. In the last decade many new methods have been developed to achieve this goal. Apart from the direct chemical synthesis of modified DNA by automated phosphoramidite chemistry incorporation of labelled triphosphates and the post-synthetic labelling approach evolved as valuable methods. New bioorthogonal reactions as Diels-Alder, click and Staudinger ligations pushed forward the post-synthetic approach as new insights into DNA polymerase substrate specificity allowed generation and amplification of labelled DNA strands. These novel developments are summarized herein.

Abstract
A method for direct palladium-catalyzed N-arylation reaction of nucleobases was developed for the convenient synthesis of DNA adducts with carcinogenic compounds. Using xantphos as the phosphine ligand and tetraethylammonium fluoride as the base in DMSO, several o-iodonitroarenes could be efficiently coupled with 2'-deoxyguanosine, 2'-deoxyadenosine, and 2'-deoxycytidine. The presence of a 3'-phosphate group in the deoxyribose moiety was found to be compatible with this N-arylation reaction; further, oligonucleotides could serve as substrates. The facile nitroreduction of the coupling compounds (12) yielded 2'-deoxyguanosin-N2-ylarylamine adducts, which are known to be biologically important. Compound 12 was easily converted to phosphoramidite derivatives, allowing the preparation of site-specific modified oligonucleotides with arylamine after the nitroreduction.

Abstract
In order to expand the repertoire of DNA sequences specifically interacting with transition metals, we report here the first examples of DNA sequences carrying mono- and bidentate phosphane ligands as well as P,N-ligands. Aminoalkyl-modified oligonucleotides have been reacted at predetermined internal sites with carboxylate derivatives of pyrphos, BINAP and phosphinooxazoline (PHOX) 2 b-d. Carbodiimide coupling in the presence of N-hydroxysuccinimide provided the DNA-ligand conjugates in 38-78 % yield. Phosphane-containing oligonucleotides and their phosphane sulfide analogues were characterized by mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF and FT-ICR-ESI) and their stability after purification and isolation was systematically investigated. While DNA-appended pyrphos ligand was quickly oxidized, BINAP and PHOX conjugates showed high stabilities, making them useful precursors for incorporation of transition metals into DNA.

Abstract
In a lot of cases active biomolecules are complexes of higher order, thus methods capable of counting the number of building blocks and elucidating their geometric arrangement are needed. Therefore, we experimentally validate here spin-counting via 4-pulse electron-electron double resonance (PELDOR) on well-defined test samples. Two biradicals, a symmetric and an asymmetric triradical, and a tetraradical were synthesized in a convergent reaction scheme via palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions. PELDOR was then used to obtain geometric information and the number of spin centers per molecule in a single experiment. The measurement yielded the expected distances (2.2-3.8 nm) and showed that different spin-spin distances in one molecule can be resolved even if the difference amounts to only 5 A. The number of spins n has been determined to be 2.1 in both biradicals, to 3.1 and 3.0 in the symmetric and asymmetric triradicals, respectively, and to 3.9 in the tetraradical. The overall error of PELDOR spin-counting was found to be 5% for up to four spins. Thus, this method is a valuable tool to determine the number of constituting spin-bearing monomers in biologically relevant homo- and heterooligomers and how their oligomerization state and geometric arrangement changes during function.

Abstract
Synthesis and spectral properties of 1-ethynylpyrene base modified RNA are reported. The fluorophore attached to the 2-position of adenosine is directed into the easily accessible minor groove in RNA. Through an intermolecular interaction of the pyrene residues in twofold labelled RNA, single and double strands can be distinguished by their fluorescence maxima around 450 and 480 nm, respectively. This behaviour allows the kinetic investigation of RNA hybridisation and folding by fluorescence spectroscopy.

Abstract
The ferrocenyl-nucleoside, 5-ethynylferrocenyl-2'-deoxycytidine (1) has been prepared by Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling between ethynylferrocene and 5-iodo-2'-deoxycytidine and incorporated into oligonucleotides by using automated solid-phase synthesis at both silica supports (CPG) and modified single-crystal silicon electrodes. Analysis of DNA oligonucleotides prepared and cleaved from conventional solid supports confirms that the ferrocenyl-nucleoside remains intact during synthesis and deprotection and that the resulting strands may be oxidised and reduced in a chemically reversible manner. Melting curve data show that the ferrocenyl-modified oligonucleotides form duplex structures with native complementary strands. The redox potential of fully solvated ferrocenyl 12-mers, 350 mV versus SCE, was shifted by +40 mV to a more positive potential upon treatment with the complement contrary to the anticipated negative shift based on a simple electrostatic basis. Automated solid-phase methods were also used to synthesise 12-mer ferrocenyl-containing oligonucleotides directly at chemically modified silicon <111> electrodes. Hybridisation to the surface-bound ferrocenyl-DNA caused a shift in the reduction potential of +34 mV to more positive values, indicating that, even when a ferrocenyl nucleoside is contained in a film, the increased density of anions from the phosphate backbone of the complement is still dominated by other factors, for example, the hydrophobic environment of the ferrocene moiety in the duplex or changes in the ferrocene-phosphate distances. The reduction potential is shifted >100 mV after hybridisation when the aqueous electrolyte is replaced by THF/LiClO(4), a solvent of much lower dielectric constant; this is consistent with an explanation based on conformation-induced changes in ferrocene-phosphate distances.

Abstract
In principle, DNA-mediated charge transfer processes can be categorized as oxidative hole transfer and reductive electron transfer. With respect to the routes of DNA damage most of the past research has been focused on the investigation of oxidative hole transfer or transport. On the other hand, the transport or transfer of excess electrons has a large potential for biomedical applications, mainly for DNA chip technology.

Abstract
The synthesis and photophysical properties of a new terpyridine-based europium(III) chelate (Eu (TMT)-AP3) designed for peptide and protein labelling in aqueous solution phase is described. In order to obtain a stable, easy to handle, versatile and efficient labelling agent, a reactive aminopropargyl arm has been introduced onto the terpyridine moiety. As preliminary biochemical applications the chelate has been 1) efficiently covalently attached onto a representative biomolecule-monoclonal antibody-and 2) converted into iodoacetamido and aldehyde derivatives, and the photoluminescent Eu (TMT)-AP3 was grafted onto cysteine and lysine amino acid residues respectively. These two different solution phase labelling methods yielded original fluorogenic FRET based probes suitable for "in vitro" detection of caspase-3 protease, a key mediator of apoptosis of mammalian cells.

Abstract
1-ethynylpyrene shows remarkable absorption changes upon DNA hybridization when it is covalently attached to the 8-position of guanine. An absorption band at approximately 420 nm is only present in the duplex, exhibits thermal melting behaviour and provides the basis for a molecular beacon together with 1-ethynylpyrene-modified cytosine.
