Abstract
Oligonucleotides (ODNs) find applications as diagnostic and therapeutic tools due to their unique ability to interact, thanks to Watson-Crick base pairing, with a specific DNA or RNA target strand. Although most of the tools available today rely on mere hydrogen bond formation, chemical modifications to enable covalent interstrand-crosslinking (ICL) have been reported, and are gaining a place under the spotlight as they potentially offer a series of advantages over the state of the art, including a higher potency and selectivity. This methodological paper focuses on the use of a pro-reactive furan moiety and its subsequent oxidation for applications in ODN targeting. The design of effective capture and targeting probes to ensure high ICL yields is discussed and the mechanisms underlying the (photo)chemical oxidation of furan are explained. Furthermore, examples of furan-containing DNAs designed for different applications, including DNA-DNA or DNA-RNA ICL and DNA-peptide/protein targeting, are provided. The paper highlights the advantages of using different oxidative chemical triggers, such as N-bromosuccinimide or singlet oxygen, to offer additional selectivity control over the ICL reaction.

Abstract
A photo-clickable analog of adenosine was devised and synthesized in which the photoactive functional group (8-azidoadenosine) and the click moiety (2'-O-propargyl-ether) were compactly combined within the structure of the adenosine nucleoside itself. We synthesized 8-N3-2'-O-propargyl adenosine in four steps starting from adenosine. This photo-clickable adenosine was 5'-phosphorylated and coupled to nicotinamide mononucleotide to form the NAD analog 8-N3-2'-O-propargyl-NAD. This NAD analog was recognized by Aplysia californica ADP-ribosyl cyclase and enzymatically cyclized producing 8-N3-2'-O-propargyl cyclic ADP-ribose. Photo-clickable cyclic-ADP-ribose analog was envisioned as a probe to label cyclic ADP-ribose binding proteins. The monofunctional 8-N3-cADPR has previously been shown to be an antagonist of cADPR-induced calcium release [T.F. Walseth et. al., J. Biol. Chem (1993) 268, 26686-26691]. 2'-O-propargyl-cADPR was recognized as an agonist which elicited Ca2+ release when added at low concentration to sea urchin egg homogenates. The bifunctional 8-N3-2'-O-propargyl cyclic ADP-ribose did not elicit Ca2+ release at low concentration or impact cyclic ADP-ribose mediated Ca2+ release either when added to sea urchin egg homogenates or when microinjected into cultured human U2OS cells. The photo-clickable adenosine will none-the-less be a useful scaffold for synthesizing photo-clickable probes for identifying proteins that interact with a variety of adenosine nucleotides.

Abstract
In this study, we describe a furan-modified acpcPNA as a probe that can form an interstrand crosslink (ICL) with its DNA target upon activation with N-bromosuccinimide (NBS). To overcome the problem of furan instability under acidic conditions, a simple and versatile post-synthetic methodology for the attachment of the furan group to the PNA probe was developed. Unlike in other designs, the furan was placed at the end of the PNA molecule or tethered to the PNA backbone with all the base pairs in the PNA ⋅ DNA duplexes fully preserved. Hence, the true reactivity of each nucleobase towards the crosslinking could be compared. We show that all DNA bases except T could participate in the crosslinking reaction when the furan was placed at the end of the PNA strand. The crosslinking process was sensitive to mispairing, and lower crosslinking efficiency was observed in the presence of a base-mismatch in the PNA ⋅ DNA duplex. In contrast, when the furan was placed at internal positions of the acpcPNA ⋅ DNA duplex, no ICL was observed; this was explained by the inability of a hydrogen-bonded nucleobase to participate in the crosslinking reaction. The crosslinking efficiency was considerably improved, despite lower duplex stability, when an unpaired base (in the form of C-insertion) was present in the complementary DNA strand close to the furan modification site.

Abstract
A gold-catalyzed cascade cyclization of O-tethered 1,7-enynes bearing a cyclopropane moiety has been reported in this communication, affording multi-substituted furans in moderate to good yields. The reaction proceeded through an intramolecular O-nucleophilic addition and 3,3-sigmatropic rearrangement followed by ring-opening of the cyclopropane unit along with the further reaction with electrophiles. The C-C bond cleavage of a strained cyclopropane moiety in the presence of a gold catalyst and the aromatization provided the driving force for this cascade cyclization. The practical transformations of the obtained diiodinated furan have also been indicated.

Abstract
Stereochemically-pure 2'-O-(2-methoxyethyl)-phosphorothioate (PS-MOE) oligonucleotides were synthesized from new chiral oxazaphospholidine-containing nucleosides. Thermal stability studies showed that the incorporation of Rp-PS linkages increased RNA-binding affinity. In cells, a full Rp-PS-MOE splice-switching oligonucleotide targeting part of the ferrochelatase gene was more potent than its Sp-PS counterpart, but of similar potency to the stereorandom PS-parent sequence.

Abstract
Short oligonucleotides can selectively recognize duplexes by binding in the major groove thereby forming triplexes. Based on the success of our recently developed strategy for furan-based crosslinking in DNA duplexes, we here investigated for the first time the use of the furan-oxidation crosslink methodology for the covalent locking of triplex structures by an interstrand crosslink. It was shown that in a triplex context, although crosslinking yields are surprisingly low (to nonexistent) when targeting fully complementary duplexes, selective crosslinking can be achieved towards mismatched duplex sites at the interface of triplex to duplex structures. We show the promising potential of furan-containing probes for the selective detection of single-stranded regions within nucleic acids containing a variety of structural motifs.

Abstract
Duplex DNA with terminal and internal sugar cross-links were synthesized by the CuAAC reaction from oligonucleotides containing 2'-O-propargyl-2-aminoadenosine as a clickable site and a bifunctional azide (4). Stepwise click chemistry was employed to introduce cross-links at internal and terminal positions. Copper turnings were used as catalyst, reducing the copper load of the reaction mixture and avoiding complexing agents. For oligonucleotide building block synthesis, a protecting group strategy was developed for 2'-O-propargyl-2-aminoadenosine owing to the rather different reactivities of the two amino groups. Phosphoramidites were synthesized bearing clickable 2'-O-propargyl residues (14 and 18) as well as a 2'-deoxyribofuranosyl residue (10). Hybridization experiments of non-cross-linked oligonucleotides with 2,6-diaminopurine as nucleobase showed no significant thermal stability changes over those containing adenine. Surprisingly, an isobutyryl group protecting the 2-amino function has no negative impact on the stability of DNA-DNA and DNA-RNA duplexes. Oligonucleotide duplexes with cross-linked 2'-O-propargylated 2-aminoadenosine (1) and 2'-O-propargylated adenosine (3) at terminal positions are significantly stabilized (ΔT(m) = +29 °C). The stability results from a molecularity change from duplex to hairpin melting and is influenced by the ligation position. Terminal ligation led to higher melting duplexes than corresponding hairpins, while duplexes with central ligation sites were less stable.

Abstract
The site-selective introduction of photo-crosslinking groups into proteins enables the discovery and mapping of weak and/or transient protein interactions with high spatiotemporal resolution, both in vitro and in vivo. We report the genetic encoding of a furan-based, photo-crosslinking amino acid in human cells; it can be activated with red light, thus offering high penetration depths in biological samples. This is achieved by activation of the amino acid and charging to its cognate tRNA by a pyrrolysyl-tRNA-synthetase (PylRS) mutant with broad polyspecificity. To gain insights into the recognition of this amino acid and to provide a rationale for its polyspecificity, we solved three crystal structures of the PylRS mutant: in its apo-form, in complex with adenosine 5'-(β,γ-imido)triphosphate (AMP-PNP) and in complex with the AMP ester of the furan amino acid. These structures provide clues for the observed polyspecificity and represent a promising starting point for the engineering of PylRS mutants with further increased substrate scope.

Abstract
Tetracationic porphyrins of the TMPP (meso-tetra-(4-N-methylpyridyl)porphyrin) type, metalated with Cu(II) or with Au(III), were conjugated covalently to oligonucleotides. The Cu(I)-catalyzed cycloaddition (between an azide and an ethynyl group) and the Diels-Alder cycloaddition (between a furan and a maleimide functionality) were successfully applied as two alternative postsynthetic methods to modify the 2'-position of an internal uridine. Melting temperatures and UV/vis absorption properties were compared. CD measurements indicated that the type of conjugation chemistry determines the grade of intercalation of the attached and positively charged porphyrins.

Abstract
We have previously developed a crosslinking methodology for oligonucleotides based on the incorporation of furan moieties, which can be selectively oxidised to reactive intermediates that will quickly react with the opposite bases in DNA, forming toxic interstrand crosslinks (ICLs). Furan moieties also occur in natural DNA, as a result of oxidative stress. Moreover, the furan-containing degradation product of this modified DNA-kinetin-has been found to display beneficial anti-ageing effects. To investigate the apparent discrepancy between the effects of the synthetic and the natural furan modifications in DNA, a quick and easy postsynthetic method providing access to the natural modification in short synthetic oligonucleotides was developed. On checking for potential crosslinking propensity, we found that the furan moiety does indeed undergo oxidation, in this way functioning as an important scavenger for oxidative stress. The reactive intermediate, however, was shown to degrade without producing toxic crosslinked products.

Abstract
This unit describes a method for interstrand cross-linking between a furan-modified oligonucleotide and its unmodified complement. The synthesis of two furan-modified phosphoramidites, selected based on high cross-linking yield versus improved cross-linking selectivity, is described. The methods allow gram-scale synthesis starting from stable and readily available furan derivatives. Cross-linking requires selective oxidation of the furan moiety to an aldehyde. The masked nature of the latter avoids undesired and off-target reactions, resulting in clean and high-yield cross-link formation.

Abstract
Internal sugar cross-links were introduced for the first time into oligonucleotides with parallel chain orientation by click ligation. For this, the 2'- or 3'-position of the isoguanosine ribose moiety was functionalized with clickable propargyl residues, and the synthesis of propargylated cytosine building blocks was significantly improved. Phosphoramidites were prepared and employed in solid-phase synthesis. A series of oligo-2'-deoxyribonucleotides with parallel (ps) and antiparallel (aps) strand orientation were constructed containing isoguanine-cytosine, isoguanine-isocytosine, and adenine-thymine base pairs. Complementary oligonucleotides with propargylated sugar residues were ligated in a stepwise manner with a chelating bis-azide under copper catalysis. Cross-links were introduced within a base pair or in positions separated by two base pairs. From T(m) stability studies it is evident that cross-linking stabilizes DNA with parallel strand orientation strongly (ΔT(m) from +16 to +18.5 °C) with a similar increase as for aps DNA.

Abstract
Heterodimeric interstrand cross-linked DNA was constructed by the "bis-click" reaction carried out on preformed oligonucleotide duplexes with the bis-azide 1. For this, alkynylated 8-aza-7-deazapurine or corresponding 5-substituted pyrimidine nucleosides were synthesized. Cross-linking resulted in chemoselective formation of heterodimeric duplexes while homodimers were suppressed. For product identification, heterodimeric DNA was prepared by the "stepwise click" reaction, while noncomplementary homodimers were accessible by "bis-click" chemistry, unequivocally. Studies on duplex melting of complementary cross-linked duplexes (heterodimers) revealed significantly increased Tm values compared to the non-cross-linked congeners. The stability of this cross-linked DNA depends on the linker length and the site of modification. Cross-linked homodimers hybridized with single-stranded complementary oligonucleotides show much lower stability.
