[reaction: see text] The synthesis of 2'-deoxycytidine nucleosides bearing amino and thiol groups appended to the 5-position of the nucleobase via a butynyl linker is described. The corresponding triphosphates were then synthesized from the nucleoside and incorporated into oligonucleotides by Vent (exo(-)) DNA polymerase. The ability of Vent (exo(-)) polymerase to amplify oligonucleotides containing these functionalized cytidine derivatives in a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was demonstrated for the amino-functionalized derivative.

The approach based on molecular modeling was developed to study dNTP derivatives characterized by new polymerase-specific properties. For this purpose, the relative efficiency of PCR amplification with modified dUTPs was studied using Taq, Tth, Pfu, Vent, Deep Vent, Vent (exo-), and Deep Vent (exo-) DNA polymerases. The efficiency of PCR amplification with modified dUTPs was compared with the results of molecular modeling using the known 3D structures of KlenTaq polymerase-DNA-dNTP complexes.

The detection of methyltransferase (MTase) activity is of great significance in methylation-related disease diagnosis and drug screening. Herein, a HpaII-assisted and linear amplification-enhanced exponential amplification strategy is proposed for sensitive and label-free detection of M.SssI MTase activity.

DNA methyltransferase (DNA MTase) catalyzes the process of DNA methylation, and the aberrant DNA MTase activity is closely associated with cancer incidence and progression. Inspired by the exponential amplification reaction (EXPAR) characteristics, we developed an EXPAR-initiated CRISPR/Cas12a (EIC) strategy for sensitively detecting DNA MTase activity. A hairpin probe (HP) was designed with a palindromic sequence in the stem as substrate and NH-modified 3' end to prevent nonspecific amplification.

L-nucleosides were the most important antiviral lead compounds because they can inhibit viral DNA polymerase and DNA synthesis of many viruses, whereas they may lead to mutations in DNA replication and cause genomic instability. In this study, we reported the replicative bypass of L-deoxynucleosides in recombinant DNA by restriction enzyme-mediated assays to examine their impact on DNA replication in vitro and in E. coli cells.

DNA polymerases can process a wide variety of structurally diverse nucleotide substrates, but the molecular basis by which the analogs are processed is not completely understood. Here, we demonstrate the utility of environment-sensitive heterocycle-modified fluorescent nucleotide substrates in probing the incorporation mechanism of DNA polymerases in real time and at the atomic level. The nucleotide analogs containing a selenophene, benzofuran, or benzothiophene moiety at the C5 position of 2'-deoxyuridine are incorporated into oligonucleotides (ONs) with varying efficiency, which depends on the size of the heterocycle modification and the DNA polymerase sequence family used.
