Abstract
Alkylation at the O6 position of guanine is a common and highly mutagenic form of DNA damage. Direct repair of O6-alkylguanines by the "suicide" enzyme O6-methylguanine DNA methyltransferase (MGMT, AGT, AGAT) maintains genome stability and inhibits carcinogenesis. In this study, a fluorescent analogue of thymidine containing trans-stilbene (tsT) is quenched by O6-methylguanine residues in the opposite strand of DNA by molecular dynamics that propagate through the duplex with as much as ∼9 Å of separation. Increased fluorescence of tsT or the cytosine analogue tsC resulting from MGMT-mediated DNA repair were distinguishable from non-covalent DNA-protein binding following protease digest. To our knowledge, this is the first study utilizing molecular rotor base analogues to detect DNA damage and repair activities in duplex DNA.

Abstract
Fluorescent nucleoside analogues (FNAs) are indispensable in studying the interactions of nucleic acids with nucleic acid-binding proteins. By replacing one of the poorly emissive natural nucleosides, FNAs enable real-time optical monitoring of the binding interactions in solutions, under physiologically relevant conditions, with high sensitivity. Besides that, FNAs are widely used to probe conformational dynamics of biomolecular complexes using time-resolved fluorescence methods. Because of that, FNAs are tools of high utility for fundamental biological research, with potential applications in molecular diagnostics and drug discovery. Here I review the structural and physical factors that can be used for the conversion of the molecular binding events into a detectable fluorescence output. Typical environmentally sensitive FNAs, their properties and applications, and future challenges in the field are discussed.

Abstract
Fluorescence probing of transmembrane (TM) peptides is needed to complement state-of-the art methods-mainly oriented circular dichroism and solid-state NMR spectroscopy-and to allow imaging in living cells. Three new amino acids incorporating the solvatofluorescent 4-aminophthalimide in their side chains were synthesized in order to examine the local polarity in the α-helical TM fragment of the human epidermal growth factor receptor. It was possible to distinguish their locations, either in the hydrophobic core of the lipid bilayer or at the membrane surface, by fluorescence readout, including blue shift and increased quantum yield. An important feature is the small size of the 4-aminophthalimide chromophore. It makes one of the new amino acids approximately isosteric to tryptophan, typically used as a very small fluorescent amino acid in peptides and proteins. In contrast to the only weakly fluorescent indole system in tryptophan, the 4-aminophthalimide moiety produces a significantly more informative fluorescence readout and is selectively excited outside the biopolymer absorption range.

Abstract
Fluorescence labeling and probing are fundamental techniques for nucleic acid analysis and quantification. However, new fluorescent probes and approaches are urgently needed in order to accurately determine structural and conformational dynamics of DNA and RNA at the level of single nucleobases/base pairs, and to probe the interactions between nucleic acids with proteins. This review describes the means by which to achieve these goals using nucleobase replacement or modification with advanced fluorescent dyes that respond by the changing of their fluorescence parameters to their local environment (altered polarity, hydration, flipping dynamics, and formation/breaking of hydrogen bonds).

Abstract
A huge diversity of modified nucleobases is used as a tool for studying DNA and RNA. Due to practical reasons, the most suitable positions for modifications are C5 of pyrimidines and C7 of purines. Unfortunately, by using these two positions only, one cannot expand a repertoire of modified nucleotides to a maximum. Here, we demonstrate the synthesis and enzymatic incorporation of novel N4-acylated 2′-deoxycytidine nucleotides (dCAcyl). We find that a variety of family A and B DNA polymerases efficiently use dCAcylTPs as substrates. In addition to the formation of complementary CAcyl•G pair, a strong base-pairing between N4-acyl-cytosine and adenine takes place when Taq, Klenow fragment (exo–), Bsm and KOD XL DNA polymerases are used for the primer extension reactions. In contrast, a proofreading phi29 DNA polymerase successfully utilizes dCAcylTPs but is prone to form CAcyl•A base pair under the same conditions. Moreover, we show that terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase is able to incorporate as many as several hundred N4-acylated-deoxycytidine nucleotides. These data reveal novel N4-acylated deoxycytidine nucleotides as beneficial substrates for the enzymatic synthesis of modified DNA, which can be further applied for specific labelling of DNA fragments, selection of aptamers or photoimmobilization.

Abstract
We synthesized long, nucleobase-modified, single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) using terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT) enzymatic polymerization. Specifically, we investigated the effect of unnatural nucleobase size and incorporation density on ssDNA resistance to exo- and endonuclease degradation. We discovered that increasing the size and density of unnatural nucleobases enhances ssDNA resistance to degradation in the presence of exonuclease I, DNase I, and human serum. We also studied the mechanism of this resistance enhancement using molecular dynamics simulations. Our results show that the presence of unnatural nucleobases in ssDNA decreases local chain flexibility and hampers nuclease access to the ssDNA backbone, which hinders nuclease binding to ssDNA and slows its degradation. Our discoveries suggest that incorporating nucleobase-modified nucleotides into ssDNA, using enzymatic polymerization, is an easy and efficient strategy to prolong and tune the half-life of DNA-based materials in nucleases-containing environments.

Abstract
Microenvironment-sensitive fluorescent nucleosides present attractive advantages over single-emitting dyes for sensing inter-biomolecular interactions involving DNA. Herein, we report the rational design and synthesis of triazolyl push-pull fluorophore-labeled uridines via the intermediacy of C5-[4-(2-propynyl(methyl)amino)]phenyl acetylene as a universal linker. The synthesized nucleosides showed interesting solvatochromic characteristic and/or intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) features. A few of them also exhibited dual-emitting characteristics evidencing our designing concept. The HOMO-LUMO distribution showed that the emissive states of these nucleosides were characterized with more significant electron redistribution between the C5-[4-(2-propynyl(methyl)amino)]phenyl triazolyl donor moiety and the aromatic chromophores linked to it, leading to modulated emission property. The solvent polarity sensitivity of these nucleosides was also tested. The synthesized triazolyl benzonitrile (10C), naphthyl (10E), and pyrenyl (10G) nucleosides were found to exhibit interesting ICT and dual (LE/ICT) emission properties. The dual-emitting pyrenyl nucleoside maintained a good ratiometric response in the BSA protein microenvironment, enabling the switch-on ratiometric sensing of BSA as the only protein biomolecule. Thus, it is expected that the new fluorescent nucleoside analogues would be useful in designing DNA probes for nucleic acid analysis or studying DNA-protein interactions via a drastic change in fluorescence response due to a change in micropolarity.

Abstract
A new type of Förster Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) system using highly emissive isomorphic nucleobase analogues is reported. The FRET pair consists of 2-aminothieno[3,4-d]pyrimidine G-mimic deoxyribonucleoside (th dG) as an energy donor and 1,3-diaza-2-oxophenothiazine (tC) as an energy acceptor. The distance and orientation between donor and acceptor was controlled by systematic incorporation of th dG and tC into DNA sequences to investigate the FRET efficiencies. This is the first Watson-Crick base-pairable FRET pair to produce vivid colors. In addition, this nucleic acid-based FRET pair was used to monitor DNA conformation and achieved visualization of the B-Z transition.

Abstract
We have prepared a series of size-diverse unnatural nucleotides containing fluorescent (dApyrTP, dUpyrTP, dUantTP, dUthiTP) and quencher (dUazoTP) units, as well as nucleotides presenting small functional groups (dAethTP, dAoctTP, dUethTP, dUiodTP), all based on deoxyadenosine and deoxyuridine, and examined their suitability for use in enzymatic incorporation and extension into DNA. We observed a size-dependence of the incorporation and extension capability (following the order dUiodTP=dUethTP=dUthiTP>dUazoTP>dUpyrTP>dUantTP) during primer extension. This result was supported by circular dichroism (CD) spectra, which revealed a trend in the different B-form DNA structures depending on the size of the unit at the 5-position of the deoxyuridine (dUiodTP>dUethTP>dUthiTP>dUpyrTP), obtained from the PCR products. Interestingly, dUthiTP could be incorporated and extended into long DNA strands during primer extension and even PCR amplification, with CD spectroscopy confirming a stable secondary B-form duplex DNA structure. We observed full-length extension products even when combining dUthiTP with a template containing 24 continuous dA units during the primer extension. Thus, we believe that dUthiTP is a promising fluorescent nucleotide for a diverse range of biological applications requiring multiple incorporation and extension directly without disruption of B-form DNA structures.

Abstract
Aptamers are nucleic acid-based scaffolds that can bind with high affinity to a variety of biological targets. Aptamers are identified from large DNA or RNA libraries through a process of directed molecular evolution (SELEX). Chemical modification of nucleic acids considerably increases the functional and structural diversity of aptamer libraries and substantially increases the affinity of the aptamers. Additionally, modified aptamers exhibit much greater resistance to biodegradation. The evolutionary selection of modified aptamers is conditioned by the possibility of the enzymatic synthesis and replication of non-natural nucleic acids. Wild-type or mutant polymerases and their non-natural nucleotide substrates that can support SELEX are highlighted in the present review. A focus is made on the efforts to find the most suitable type of nucleotide modifications and the engineering of new polymerases. Post-SELEX modification as a complementary method will be briefly considered as well.

Abstract
A nucleoside bearing a solvatochromic push-pull fluorene fluorophore (dCFL ) was designed and synthesized by the Sonogashira coupling of alkyne-linked fluorene 8 with 5-iodo-2'-deoxycytidine. The fluorene building block 8 and labeled nucleoside dCFL exerted bright fluorescence with significant solvatochromic effect providing emission maxima ranging from 421 to 544 nm and high quantum yields even in highly polar solvents, including water. The solvatochromism of 8 was studied by DFT and ADC(2) calculations to show that, depending on the polarity of the solvent, emission either from the planar or the twisted conformation of the excited state can occur. The nucleoside was converted to its triphosphate variant dCFLTP which was found to be a good substrate for DNA polymerases suitable for the enzymatic synthesis of oligonucleotide or DNA probes by primer extension or PCR. The fluorene-linked DNA can be used as fluorescent probes for DNA-protein (p53) or DNA-lipid interactions, exerting significant color changes visible even to the naked eye. They also appear to be suitable for time-dependent fluorescence shift studies on DNA, yielding information on DNA hydration and dynamics.

Abstract
We have developed oligodeoxynucleotides (ODNs) that modify primary amines to produce 5,6-dimethoxy 3-methyleneisoindolin-1-one. Compared to the oxygen isosteric fluorophore, 4,5-dimethoxyphthalimide, this methyleneisoindolinone was more stable and exhibited an 85 nm blue-shifted fluorescent emission (λmax at 425 nm) with an intensity comparable to that of the phthalimide. Reaction of the DNA-binding domain of Escherichia coli DnaA protein with an ODN containing its binding sequence efficiently afforded a modified fluorescent protein at a specific lysine residue in the proximity of the ODN. A full-length DnaA protein was also successfully fluorescently labeled. These results demonstrate the potential utility of the ODNs developed in this study for the fluorescent labeling of DNA-interacting protein at the lysine residue of interest.

Abstract
Four 6-substituted 4-amino-pyrimido[4,5-b]indole 2'-deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates (dA(BX)TPs) were prepared by glycosylation of 4,6-dichloropyrimidoindole followed by ammonolysis, cross-coupling and triphosphorylation. They were found to be moderate to good substrates for DNA polymerases in primer extension. They also exerted fluorescence with emission maxima 335-378nm. When incorporated to oligonucleotide probes, they did not show significant mismatch discrimination but the 6-benzofuryl 4-amino-pyrimido[4,5-b]indole nucleotide displayed a useful sensitivity to protein binding in experiment with SSB protein.

Abstract
Fluorescent oligomers that are resistant to enzymatic degradation and report their binding to target oligonucleotides (ONs) by changes in fluorescence properties are highly useful in developing nucleic-acid-based diagnostic tools and therapeutic strategies. Here, we describe the synthesis and photophysical characterization of fluorescent peptide nucleic acid (PNA) building blocks made of microenvironment-sensitive 5-(benzofuran-2-yl)- and 5-(benzothiophen-2-yl)-uracil cores. The emissive monomers, when incorporated into PNA oligomers and hybridized to complementary ONs, are minimally perturbing and are highly sensitive to their neighboring base environment. In particular, benzothiophene-modified PNA reports the hybridization process with significant enhancement in fluorescence intensity, even when placed in the vicinity of guanine residues, which often quench fluorescence. This feature was used in the turn-on detection of G-quadruplex-forming promoter DNA sequences of human proto-oncogenes (c-myc and c-kit). Furthermore, the ability of benzothiophene-modified PNA oligomer to report the presence of an abasic site in RNA enabled us to develop a simple fluorescence hybridization assay to detect and estimate the depurination activity of ribosome-inactivating protein toxins. Our results demonstrate that this approach with responsive PNA probes will provide new opportunities to develop robust tools to study nucleic acids.

Abstract
New types of double-headed 2'-deoxycytidine 5'-O-triphosphates (dC(XC)TPs) bearing another cytosine or 5-fluorocytosine linked through a flexible propargyl, homopropargyl or pent-1-ynyl linker to position 5 were prepared by the aqueous Sonogashira cross-coupling reactions of 5-iodo-dCTP with the corresponding (fluoro)cytosine-alkynes. The modified dC(XC)TPs were good substrates for DNA polymerases and were used for enzymatic synthesis of cytosine-functionalized DNA by primer extension or PCR. The cytosine- or fluorocytosine-linked DNA probes did not significantly inhibit DNA methyltransferases and did not cross-link to these proteins.

Abstract
Fluorescent probes for detecting the physical properties of cellular structures have become valuable tools in life sciences. The fluorescence lifetime of molecular rotors can be used to report on variations in local molecular packing or viscosity. We used a nucleoside linked to a meso-substituted BODIPY fluorescent molecular rotor (dC(bdp)) to sense changes in DNA microenvironment both in vitro and in living cells. DNA incorporating dC(bdp) can respond to interactions with DNA-binding proteins and lipids by changes in the fluorescence lifetimes in the range 0.5-2.2 ns. We can directly visualize changes in the local environment of exogenous DNA during transfection of living cells. Relatively long fluorescence lifetimes and extensive contrast for detecting changes in the microenvironment together with good photostability and versatility for DNA synthesis make this probe suitable for analysis of DNA-associated processes, cellular structures, and also DNA-based nanomaterials.

Abstract
Previous studies of polymerase synthesis of base-modified DNAs and their cleavage by restriction enzymes have mostly related only to 5-substituted pyrimidine and 7-substituted 7-deazaadenine nucleotides. Here we report the synthesis of a series of 7-substituted 7-deazaguanine 2'-deoxyribonucleoside 5'-O-triphosphates (dG(R) TPs), their use as substrates for polymerase synthesis of modified DNA and the influence of the modification on their cleavage by type II restriction endonucleases (REs). The dG(R) TPs were generally good substrates for polymerases but the PCR products could not be visualised on agarose gels by intercalator staining, due to fluorescence quenching. The presence of 7-substituted 7-deazaguanine residues in recognition sequences of REs in most cases completely blocked the cleavage.

Abstract
Fluorescent base analogues (FBAs) comprise a family of increasingly important molecules for the investigation of nucleic acid structure and dynamics. We recently reported the quantum chemical calculation supported development of four microenvironment sensitive analogues of the quadracyclic adenine (qA) scaffold, the qANs, with highly promising absorptive and fluorescence properties that were very well predicted by TDDFT calculations. Herein, we report on the efficient synthesis, experimental and theoretical characterization of nine novel quadracyclic adenine derivatives. The brightest derivative, 2-CNqA, displays a 13-fold increased brightness (εΦF = 4500) compared with the parent compound qA and has the additional benefit of being a virtually microenvironment-insensitive fluorophore, making it a suitable candidate for nucleic acid incorporation and use in quantitative FRET and anisotropy experiments. TDDFT calculations, conducted on the nine novel qAs a posteriori, successfully describe the relative fluorescence quantum yield and brightness of all qA derivatives. This observation suggests that the TDDFT-based rational design strategy may be employed for the development of bright fluorophores built up from a common scaffold to reduce the otherwise costly and time-consuming screening process usually required to obtain useful and bright FBAs.

Abstract
![]()
New reactions and reagents that allow
for multiple bond-forming
events per synthetic operation are required to achieve structural
complexity and thus value with step-, time-, cost-, and waste-economy.
Here we report a new class of reagents that function like tetramethyleneethane
(TME), allowing for back-to-back [4 + 2] cycloadditions, thereby amplifying
the complexity-increasing benefits of Diels–Alder and metal-catalyzed
cycloadditions. The parent recursive reagent, 2,3-dimethylene-4-trimethylsilylbutan-1-ol
(DMTB), is readily available from the metathesis of ethylene and THP-protected
4-trimethylsilylbutyn-1-ol. DMTB and related reagents engage diverse
dienophiles in an initial Diels–Alder or metal-catalyzed [4
+ 2] cycloaddition, triggering a subsequent vinylogous Peterson elimination
that recursively generates a new diene for a second cycloaddition.
Overall, this multicomponent catalytic cascade produces in one operation
carbo- and heterobicyclic building blocks for the synthesis of a variety
of natural products, therapeutic leads, imaging agents, and materials.
Its application to the three step synthesis of a new solvatochromic
fluorophore, N-ethyl(6-N,N-dimethylaminoanthracene-2,3-dicarboximide) (6-DMA), and
the photophysical characterization of this fluorophore are described.

Abstract
Fluorescent base analogues comprise a group of increasingly important molecules for the investigation of nucleic acid structure, dynamics, and interactions with other molecules. Herein, we report on the quantum chemical calculation aided design, synthesis, and characterization of four new putative quadracyclic adenine analogues. The compounds were efficiently synthesized from a common intermediate through a two-step pathway with the Suzuki-Miyaura coupling as the key step. Two of the compounds, qAN1 and qAN4, display brightnesses (εΦF) of 1700 and 2300, respectively, in water and behave as wavelength-ratiometric pH probes under acidic conditions. The other two, qAN2 and qAN3, display lower brightnesses but exhibit polarity-sensitive dual-band emissions that could prove useful to investigate DNA structural changes induced by DNA-protein or -drug interactions. The four qANs are very promising microenvironment-sensitive fluorescent adenine analogues that display considerable brightness for such compounds.

Abstract
Although numerous biophysical tools have provided effective systems to study nucleic acids, our current knowledge on how RNA structure complements its function is limited. Therefore, development of robust tools to study the structure–function relationship of RNA is highly desired. Toward this endeavor, we have developed a new ribonucleoside analog, based on a (selenophen-2-yl)pyrimidine core, which could serve as a fluorescence probe to study the function of RNA in real time and as an anomalous scattering label (selenium atom) for the phase determination in X-ray crystallography. The fluorescent selenophene-modified uridine analog is minimally perturbing and exhibits probe-like properties such as sensitivity to microenvironment and conformation changes. Utilizing these properties and amicability of the corresponding ribonucleotide analog to enzymatic incorporation, we have synthesized a fluorescent bacterial ribosomal decoding site (A-site) RNA construct and have developed a fluorescence binding assay to effectively monitor the binding of aminoglycoside antibiotics to the A-site. Our results demonstrate that this simple approach of building a dual probe could provide new avenues to study the structure–function relationship of not only nucleic acids, but also other biomacromolecules.

New fluorescent nucleosides and nucleoside triphosphate (dNTPs) analogs bearing the F-Bodipy fluorophore linked through a short, flexible nonconjugate tether were synthesized. The Bodipy-labeled dNTPs were substrates for several DNA polymerases which incorporated them into DNA in primer extension, nicking enzyme amplification reaction, and polymerase chain reaction. The fluorescence of F-Bodipy is not quenched upon incorporation in DNA and can be detected both in solutions and on gels.

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
The majority of fluorescent nucleoside analogues used in nucleic acid studies have excitation maxima in the UV region and show very low fluorescence within oligonucleotides (ONs); hence, they cannot be utilised with certain fluorescence methods and for cell-based analysis. Here, we describe the synthesis, photophysical properties and incorporation of a highly emissive and environment-sensitive uridine analogue, derived by attaching a Lucifer chromophore (1,8-naphthalimide core) at the 5-position of uracil. The emissive nucleoside displays excitation and emission maxima in the visible region and exhibits high quantum yield. Importantly, when incorporated into ON duplexes it retains appreciable fluorescence efficiency and is sensitive to the neighbouring base environment. Notably, the nucleoside signals the presence of purine repeats in ON duplexes with an enhancement in fluorescence intensity, a property rarely displayed by other nucleoside analogues.
