Cationic Chain-Growth Polymerization: Mechanism

Cationic Chain-Growth Polymerization: Mechanism

The cationic polymerization mechanism consists of three steps: initiation, propagation, and termination. In the initiation step of the polymerization process, the π bond of a monomer gets protonated by the Lewis acid catalyst, which is formed from boron trifluoride and water. The protonation of the π bond generates a carbocation stabilized by the electron‐donating group. In the propagation step, the π bond of the second monomer acts as a nucleophile and attacks the generated carbocation,...

Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms-SNPs

Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms-SNPs

A single nucleotide polymorphism or SNP is a single nucleotide variation at a specific genomic position in a large population. It is the most prevalent type of sequence variation found in the human genome. Point mutations that occur in more than 1% of the population qualify as SNPs. These are present once every 1000 nucleotides on an average in the human genome. Replacement of a purine with another purine (A/G) or a pyrimidine with another pyrimidine (C/T) is known as a transition. In contrast,...

Characteristics and Nomenclature of Copolymers

Characteristics and Nomenclature of Copolymers

Copolymers are the products obtained from the polymerization of multiple monomer species. So, in a polymer chain itself, there can be multiple repeating units that come from different monomers. The process of synthesizing a polymer from different monomer species is called copolymerization. When two monomers are involved, the polymer is known as a bipolymer. Polymers with three and four monomers are termed terpolymers and quaterpolymers, respectively. Figure 1 depicts the copolymerization of...

Background:

Accurate detection of single-base mismatches in DNA is critical for genetic diagnostics and research.
Existing methods for DNA mismatch detection can be complex or lack sensitivity.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a rapid and sensitive method for single-base mismatch detection using DNA strand exchange reaction (SER).
To evaluate the efficacy of partially double-stranded (PDS) DNA probes in discriminating between matched and mismatched DNA sequences.

Main Methods:

Utilized a partially double-stranded (PDS) DNA probe with a single-stranded (ss) portion.
Measured DNA strand exchange reaction (SER) rates between PDS probes and target single-stranded (ss) DNAs.
Investigated the effect of cationic comb-type copolymers (PLL-g-Dex) and betaine on discrimination.

Main Results:

The PDS probes rapidly recognized single-base mismatches through varying SER rates with target ss DNAs.
In the presence of PLL-g-Dex and betaine, PDS probes clearly discriminated between A:T matched and A:G mismatched targets.
The PDS probes demonstrated the ability to differentiate between homo- and hetero-type alleles.

Conclusions:

The developed SER-based method offers a sensitive and rapid approach for single-base mismatch detection.
Partially double-stranded (PDS) DNA probes, under specific conditions, can effectively distinguish genetic variations at the single-base level.
This technique holds potential for applications in genetic analysis and diagnostics.
