Nucleotides modified at the phosphate have numerous applications. Nevertheless, the number of attachment modes is limited and little is known about their stability. Here, we present results on the elaboration of the synthesis of five classes of ATP analogues and studies concerning their stability. We show that the nitrogen-linked ATP analogue is less stable, whereas the oxygen- and novel carbon-linked adenosine tri- and tetraphosphate analogues are stable from pH 3 to 12 rendering them interesting for further applications and designs.

4-pyridone-3-carboxamide-1-β-D-ribonucleoside (4PYR) is a nicotinamide derivative, considered a new oncometabolite. 4PYR formation induced a cytotoxic effect on the endothelium. Elevated blood 4PYR concentration was observed in patients with cancer.

Mismatch repair (MMR) is a highly conserved DNA repair pathway that recognizes mispairs that occur spontaneously during DNA replication and coordinates their repair. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Msh2-Msh3 and Msh2-Msh6 initiate MMR by recognizing and binding insertion deletion loops (in/dels) up to ∼ 17 nucleotides (nt.) and base-base mispairs, respectively; the two complexes have overlapping specificity for small (1-2 nt.

Despite the growing interest in mirror-image l-oligonucleotides, both as a robust nucleic acid analogue and as an artificial genetic polymer, their broader adoption in biochemical research and medicine remains hindered by challenges associated with the synthesis of long sequences, especially for l-RNA. Herein, we present a novel strategy for assembling long l-RNAs the joining of two or more shorter fragments using cross-chiral ligase ribozymes together with new substrate activation chemistry. We show that 5'-monophosphorylated l-RNA, which is readily prepared by solid-phase synthesis, can be activated by chemical attachment of a 5'-adenosine monophosphate (AMP) or diphosphate (ADP), yielding 5'-adenosyl(di- or tri-)phosphate l-RNA.

Human DNA licensing initiates replication fork assembly and DNA replication. This reaction promotes the loading of the hMCM2-7 complex on DNA, which represents the core of the replicative helicase that unwinds DNA during S-phase. Here, we report the reconstitution of human DNA licensing using purified proteins.
