Syntheses of some fluorescent ribonucleotides [PDF]
Synthesis of guanosine 3'-phosphodiesters of 1, N6-ethenoadenosine-2-sulfonate or 1, N6-etheno-2-azaadenosine can be done readily with ribonuclease N1. There is a 10-fold difference in quantum yield between the phosphodiesters and the starting fluorescent nucleosides.

Polymyxins are currently used as the last-resort antibiotics against multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii. As resistance to polymyxins emerges in A. baumannii with monotherapy, combination therapy is often the only remaining treatment option.

Woody breast compromises meat quality leading to reduced consumer appeal. Although its causes are unclear, improvements observed with certain dietary supplements suggest that gut health may influence woody breast development. Ribonucleotide reductase subunit RRM2 is vital for mitochondrial function and gastrointestinal integrity, and alteration in its ...

Hydroxyurea-Mediated Cytotoxicity Without Inhibition of Ribonucleotide Reductase
In many organisms, hydroxyurea (HU) inhibits class I ribonucleotide reductase, leading to lowered cellular pools of deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates. The reduced levels for DNA precursors is believed to cause replication fork stalling. Upon treatment of

Expression of a pathogenic mutation of SOD1 sensitizes aprataxin-deficient cells and mice to oxidative stress and triggers hallmarks of premature ageing [PDF]
Aprataxin (APTX) deficiency causes progressive cerebellar degeneration, ataxia and oculomotor apraxia in man. Cell free assays and crystal structure studies demonstrate a role for APTX in resolving 5'-adenylated nucleic acid breaks, however, APTX ...

Here we report a synthesis of the dinucleotide 4 for a projected future total synthesis of the m7G cap 1. Highlights of the route include: 1) a 3ʹ‐H‐phosphonate/5ʹ‐selenocyanate Michaelis‐Arbuzov coupling to forge the 3ʹ,5ʹ‐phosphoroselenolate; 2) an Amosova reductive selenomethylation to install the 2ʹ‐SeMe; 3) a solid CPR II 5ʹ‐O‐phosphitylation; and

Rational Design Strategies for Stimuli‐Responsive DNAzymes Using Modified and Artificial Nucleotides
Activity control of RNA‐cleaving DNAzymes in response to external stimuli has attracted growing interest for applications in DNA‐based diagnostics, therapeutics, and dynamic DNA nanotechnology. This review summarizes rational design strategies for stimuli‐responsive DNAzymes using modified or artificial nucleotides, including split and caged DNAzymes ...

What's New? Endocrine drugs repurposed from treatment protocols are the primary medications available for breast cancer (BC) prevention in at‐risk women. Adverse effects, however, significantly minimize uptake and prevention impact. Here, the authors investigated licochalcone A (LicA), a non‐endocrine anti‐inflammatory agent with reported hematologic ...
