Bioreductive deprotection of 4-nitrobenzyl group on thymine base in oligonucleotides for the activation of duplex formation
Saneyoshi, Hisao,Hiyoshi, Yuki,Iketani, Koichi,Kondo, Kazuhiko,Ono, Akira
, p. 5632 - 5635 (2015)
Oligonucleotides containing 4-O-(4-NO2-benzyl)thymine residues were synthesized to assess potential prodrug-type action against hypoxic cells. These modified oligonucleotides were incapable of stable duplex formation under non-hypoxic condition
Photoinduced transcription by using temporarily mismatched caged oligonucleotides
Kroeck, Lenz,Hechel, Alexander
, p. 471 - 473 (2007/10/03)
Spatial and temporal control of the function of DNA with light: In oligonucleotides, protected ("caged") thymidine can act as a temporary mismatch in base pairing and, for example, prevent transcription. The photolabile caging group can be removed by ligh
