Abstract:
Oligonucleotides with 1,2-diol grouping were prepared from 2'-O-[2-(2,3-dihydroxypropyl)amino-2-oxo-ethyl]uridine 3'-phosphoramidite. The thermal stability of modified DNA duplexes and their ability to form complexes with the p50 subunit of the NF-kappaB transcription factor and (cytosine-5)-DNA methyltransferase SsoII were studied. The periodate oxidation of the l,2-diol grouping of the oligonucleotides resulted in reactive 2'-aldehyde derivatives. The opportunity of their use for the affinity modification of DNA-recognizing proteins was studied.

Labeling DNA Probes
DNA probes are fragments of DNA labeled with a reporter tag to enable their detection or purification. The resulting labeled DNA probes can then hybridize to target nucleic acid sequences through complementary base-pairing, and may be used to recover or identify these regions.
Radioisotopes, fluorophores, or small molecule binding partners like biotin or digoxigenin, are the most widely used reporter tags for labeling DNA probes. These labels can be attached to the probe DNA molecule via...

Nucleic Acid Structure
The pentose sugar in DNA is deoxyribose, while in RNA the pentose sugar is ribose. The difference between the sugars is the presence of the hydroxyl group on the ribose's second carbon and a hydrogen on the deoxyribose's second carbon. The phosphate residue attaches to the hydroxyl group of the 5′ carbon of one sugar and the hydroxyl group of the 3′ carbon of the sugar of the next nucleotide, which forms a 5′ to 3′ phosphodiester linkage.
