Two Pd-catalyzed methods to access 6-heteroaryl 2-aminopurine ribonucleosides from 6-chloroguanosine are described. First, Pd-132-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling using a series of boron substrates and 6-chloroguanosine forms 6-heteroaryl-2-aminopurines in a single step. The versatility of 6-chloroguanosine is further demonstrated using a modified Sonogashira coupling employing potassium iodide as an additive. Finally, the utility of the 6-alkynyl-2-aminopurine ribonucleoside as a dipolarophile in [3 + 2] cycloadditions is presented, affording triazoles and isoxazoles when reacted with azide and isonitrile 1,3-dipoles, respectively.

The methyltransferase ribozyme SMRZ-1 utilizes S-adenosyl-methionine (SAM) and Cu (II) ions to methylate RNA. A comparison of the SAM-bound and unbound RNA structures has shown a conformational change in the RNA. However, the contribution of specific interactions and the role of a pseudo-triplex motif in the catalytic center on the methylation reaction is not completely understood.

In 1960, Weber prophesied that "There are many ways in which the properties of the excited state can be utilized to study points of ignorance of the structure and function of proteins". This has been realized, illustrating that an intrinsic and highly responsive fluorophore such as tryptophan can alter the course of an entire scientific discipline. But what about RNA and DNA? Adapting Weber's protein photophysics prophecy to nucleic acids requires the development of intrinsically emissive nucleoside surrogates as, unlike Trp, the canonical nucleobases display unusually low emission quantum yields, which render nucleosides, nucleotides, and oligonucleotides practically dark for most fluorescence-based applications.

We have extensively characterized base substitution mutations in the 795 base pair (bp) long E. coli thyA gene to define as many of the base substitution mutational sites that inactivate the gene as possible. The resulting catalog of mutational sites constitutes a system with up to 5 times as many sites for monitoring each of the six base substitution mutations as the widely used rpoB/Rif system.

Etheno-derivatives of 2-aminopurine, 2-aminopurine riboside, and 7-deazaadenosine (tubercidine) were prepared and purified using standard methods. 2-Aminopurine reacted with aqueous chloroacetaldehyde to give two products, both exhibiting substrate activity towards bacterial () purine-nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP) in the reverse (synthetic) pathway. The major product of the chemical synthesis, identified as 1,N-etheno-2-aminopurine, reacted slowly, while the second, minor, but highly fluorescent product, reacted rapidly.

4-Cyanoindole-2'-deoxyribonucleoside (4CIN) is a fluorescent isomorphic nucleoside analogue with superior spectroscopic properties in terms of Stokes shift and quantum yield in comparison to the widely utilized isomorphic nucleoside analogue, 2-aminopurine-2'-deoxyribonucleoside (2APN). Notably, when inserted into single- or double-stranded DNA, 4CIN experiences substantially less in-strand fluorescence quenching compared to 2APN. Given the utility of these properties for a spectrum of research applications involving oligonucleotides and oligonucleotide-protein interactions (e.
