Abstract:
An efficient RNA template-directed photoligation of oligodeoxynucleotides (ODNs) via 5-carboxyvinyl-2'-deoxyuridine ((CV)U) was described. When ODN containing (CV)U at the 5' end was photoirradiated with ODN containing a pyrimidine base at the 3' end in the presence of template RNA, an efficient photoligation was observed. RNA template-directed photoligation of ODNs should provide a useful technique for sensitive and accurate RNA detection.

Cells are regularly exposed to mutagens—factors in the environment that can damage DNA and generate mutations. UV radiation is one of the most common mutagens and is estimated to introduce a significant number of changes in DNA. These include bends or kinks in the structure, which can block DNA replication or transcription. If these errors are not fixed, the damage can cause mutations, which in turn can result in cancer or disease depending on which sequences are...
