Nucleotide analogues are useful tools for the investigation of interactions between DNA-binding proteins and DNA at a molecular level. Herein we describe the synthesis of the DNA-lesion analogue 2, which is required to determine the extent to which specif
Unraveling the origin of the major mutation induced by ultraviolet light, the C→T transition at dTpdC sites. A DNA building block for the cis-syn cyclobutane dimer of dTpdU

One possible origin of the major mutation induced by ultraviolet light, the C→T transition at dTpdC sites, involves the replicative bypass of the cyclobutane dimer of dTpdC or its deamination product, the cis-syn dimer of dTpdU. In order to investigate the latter proposal, we have designed and synthesized a building block for the incorporation of the cis-syn dTpdU dimer into oligonucleotides by automated solid phase DNA synthesis technology.
A new procedure for the preparation of 3'-O-alkyl derivatives of 2'-deoxyribonucleosides

2'-Deoxy-2'-mercaptouridine (7) has been converted, via its 2'-S, 3'-O-alkylidene derivatives (8), into the corresponding 3'-O-alkyl-2'-deoxyuridines (9).
