[reaction: see text] A method is presented for the synthesis of single compounds or small combinatorial libraries of oligonucleotides with 2'-acylamido-2'-deoxyuridine residues at the 3'-terminus. Selection experiments identified the residue of anthraquinone-2-carboxylic acid as a "molecular cap" that increases the UV melting point of the duplex (5'-ACGCGU-3')(2) by up to 28 degrees C compared to the unmodified control duplex.

RNase P cleavage of pseudoknot substrates reveals differences in active site architecture that depend on residue N-1 in the 5' leader.

We show that a small biotin-binding RNA aptamer that folds into a pseudoknot structure acts as a substrate for bacterial RNase P RNA (RPR) with and without the RNase P C5 protein. Cleavage in the single-stranded region in loop 1 was shown to depend on the presence of a RCCA-motif at the 3' end of the substrate. The nucleobase and the 2'hydroxyl at the position immediately 5' of the cleavage site contribute to both cleavage efficiency and site selection, where C at this position induces significant cleavage at an alternative site, one base upstream of the main cleavage site.

Synthetic ssDNA oligonucleotides hold great potential for various applications, including DNA aptamers, DNA digital data storage, DNA origami, and synthetic genomes. In these contexts, precise control over the synthesis of the ssDNA strands is essential for generating combinatorial sequences with user-defined parameters. Desired features for creating synthetic DNA oligonucleotides include easy manipulation of DNA strands, effective detection of unique DNA sequences, and a straightforward mechanism for strand elongation and termination.

Myoglobin (Mb), an important cardiac marker, plays a crucial role in diagnosing, monitoring, and evaluating the condition of patients with cardiovascular diseases. Here, we propose a label-free photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensor for the detection of Mb through target regulated the photoactivity of AgS/FeOOH heterojunction. The AgS/FeOOH nanospindles were synthesized and served as a sensing platform for the fabrication of bio-recognized process for Mb.

Single-cell transcriptomics, which utilises barcodes and unique molecular identifiers (UMIs) for polyA+ mRNA capture, is compromised by oligonucleotide synthesis errors. To address this, we modified the oligonucleotide capture design and integrated an interposed anchor between the barcode and the UMI. This design significantly reduces the need to discard reads due to synthesis inaccuracies.
