Ab initio quantum-chemical study of specific point contacts replisome proteins with DNA modeled by acetic acid canonical and mutagenic tautomers bases methylated at the glycosidic nitrogen atoms was performed in vacuo continuum a low dielectric constant (ϵ ∼ 4) corresponding to hydrophobic interface protein–nucleic interaction. All tautomerized complexes were found be dynamically unstable, because electronic energies their back-reaction barriers do not exceed zero-point vibrational...
The combination of the generic mobile technology and inherent stability, versatility cost-effectiveness synthetic receptors allows producing optical sensors for potentially any analyte interest, and, therefore, to qualify as a platform fast routine analysis large number contaminated samples. To support this statement, we present here novel miniature sensor based on molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) membranes smartphone, which could be used point-of-care detection an important food...
A copper-promoted reductive homocoupling reaction, for the first time used a metal complex, allowed obtaining new kind of complexes with encapsulated ions, C–C conjugated bis-clathrochelates. These compounds demonstrate extremely high transcription inhibition activity in T7 RNA polymerase system values IC50 reaching as low submicromolar range, which places them among most potent metal-based inhibitors.
A novel enhanced fluorescent sensor system for zearalenone (ZON) determination in flour samples is presented. The ZON-selective molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) films were developed with a computational modelling method and synthesised cyclododecyl-2,4-dihydroxybenzoate as "dummy" template ethylene glycol methacrylate phosphate functional monomer acted the selective recognition elements ZON fluorescence detection. Spherical silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) embedded MIP films' structure to...
The Mn-TMPyP/KHSO5 system was used to oxidize guanine contained within a dinucleoside monophosphate d(GpT). To identify the oxidation product having mass with 4 amu above of itself, this relatively unstable compound reduced more stable one. ESI/MS and NMR data allowed us propose dehydro-guanidinohydantoin structure for (G+4) product.
An effective procedure for the synthesis of oligonucleotides by phosphotriester method has been developed. The is based on use phosphate protecting groups enabling O-nucleophilic intramolecular catalysis in reaction internucleotide bond formation under action arylsulfonyl chlorides and their derivatives. Using this new procedure, time needed to perform one elongation step polymer support 7-8 min. effectiveness methodology demonstrated many oligodeoxyribonucleotides different length with high yields.
Coumarin-based fluorescent agents play an important role in the manifold fundamental scientific and technological areas need to be carefully studied. In this research, linear photophysics, photochemistry, fast vibronic relaxations, two-photon absorption (2PA) of coumarin derivatives, methyl 4-[2-(7-methoxy-2-oxo-chromen-3-yl)thiazol-4-yl]butanoate (1) 4-[4-[2-(7-methoxy-2-oxo-chromen-3-yl)thiazol-4-yl]phenoxy]butanoate (2), were comprehensively analyzed using stationary time-resolved...
The 5'-aldehyde terminus is a DNA oxidative damage resulting from attack at C5' of 2-deoxyriboses by some potent natural or chemical cleavers. To offer fast and specific method for characterization this type damage, we used on-line electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) detection during liquid chromatography analyses. intrinsic reactivity with nucleophiles (formation hydrate water, Tris adduct buffer) through β-elimination reaction resulted in complex LC profiles MS data. We...
