Biomesogenic matrix systems.

Published: December 2000

The bifunctionally reactive nucleoside and distant nucleoside analogs adenosine (Ado), S-[(adenine-9-yl)methoxyethyl]-L-cysteine (Na-salt) (cysA) and 9-vinyladenine (vA) in aqueous solutions assemble on complementary polyuridylic acid templates to form complex lyomesophases. The systems are investigated by polarizing microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and 1H- and 31P-nmr spectroscopies, assisted by molecular modeling studies. The results indicate the importance of biomesogenic (pre)ordering in nucleic acid native and artificial matrix reactions.
