5-Aza-7-deaza-2'-deoxyguanosine: Oligonucleotide duplexes with novel base pairs, parallel chain orientation and protonation sites in the core of a double helix
Seela, Frank,Melenewski, Alexander
, p. 485 - 496 (1999)
Oligonucleotides containing 5-aza-7-deaza-2'-deoxyguanosine (1) were synthesized. Solid-phase synthesis was performed with the phosphonate 15 or the phosphoramidite 5. The amino-unprotected phosphonate 4 was also employed. Hybridization studies of oligonucleotides containing 1 resulted in new base pairs leading to duplexes with parallel (ps) or antiparallel (aps) chain orientation. Among those with parallel chains a stable 'purine-purine' base pair was observed between 5-aza-7-deazaguanine and guanine or 7-deazaguanine. Antiparallel stranded duplexes are formed when 5-aza-7-deazaguanine pairs with cytosine. This base pair has only two hydrogen bonds under neutral conditions but is stabilized by a third one in acidic medium. A new base pair is also detected between the base of 1 and isoguanine (neutral medium).
Parallel-stranded duplex DNA formed by a new base pair between guanine and 5-aza-7-deazaguanine

Oligonucleotides containing 5-aza-7-deazaguanine residues have been synthesized. A DNA duplex with parallel strand orientation is assembled by a new base pair between guanine and 5-aza-7-deazaguanine.
Parallel-stranded DNA formed by new base pairs related to the isoguanine-cytosine or isocytosine-guanine motifs

Parallel-stranded (ps) oligonucleotide duplexes containing several new base pairs formed between 7-deazaisoguanine and cytosine, 8-aza-7-deaza- isoguanine and cytosine, and 5-aza-7-deaza guanine and guanine are described. The stability of the ps-hybrids increased if the duplex contains 8-aza-7- deazaisoguanine instead of isoguanine and is decreased by 7-deazaisoguanine incorporation. The purine-purine base pair between 5-aza-7-deazaguanine and guanine was found to be more stable than that of 5-methylisocytosine with guanine.
