Abstract:
A novel nucleic acid model, i.e. peptide ribonucleic acid (PRNA), tethering 5'-amino-5'-deoxypyrimidine ribonucleoside as a recognition site for nucleic acids, has been designed and synthesized. We have demonstrated that the recognition behavior of PRNA with complementary oligopurinenucleotides can be controlled externally through the orientational switching of the pyrimidine nucleobase of PRNA induced by added borates. We extend this methodology of controlling the nucleobase orientation and recognition behavior of novel mono and oligomeric PRNAs containing 5'-amino-5'-deoxypyrimidine and/or purinenucleosides. In case of the PRNA oligomer containing pyrimidine-purine mixed sequence, efficient orientational switching of nucleobases induced by added borates was also observed.

RNA Structure
The basic structure of RNA consists of a five-carbon sugar and one of four nitrogenous bases. Although most RNA is single-stranded, it can form complex secondary and tertiary structures. Such structures play essential roles in the regulation of transcription and translation.

Ribosome biogenesis begins with the synthesis of 5S and 45S pre-rRNAs by distinct RNA polymerases. The primary transcripts are extensively processed and modified before they are bound and folded by ribosomal proteins and assembly factors,...
