- W50733759 abstract "This thesis is based on six research publications concerned with (i) study of the molecular structures and dynamics of modified nucleosides; (ii) investigation of the effect of incorporation of modified nucleosides on the structure of DNA; (iii) examination of the effect of the sugar modifications on the pseudo-aromatic properties (pKa) of the nucleobases; (iv) analysis of the effect of the CH-π interactions on the relative stability of the DNA-RNA hybrid duplexes. The structural stability of the nucleic acids as well as their behavior in molecular recognition is dominated by hydrogen bonding and stacking interactions beside other non-covalent interactions. Naturally occurring nucleosides are found to have some specific functions. Modifications of nucleic acids, followed by studies of the resulting structural, chemical and functional changes, contribute to an understanding of their role in various biochemical processes, such as catalysis or gene silencing. In papers I-III, analysis of the structures of modified thymidine nucleosides with 1′,2′-(oxetane or azetidine) and 2′,4′-(LNA, 2′-amino LNA, ENA, and Aza-ENA) conformationally constrained sugar moieties, and dynamics of the modified nucleosides by NMR, ab initio, and molecular dynamics simulations are discussed. Based on whether the modification leads to 1′,2′- or 2′,4′- constrained sugar moieties, it is found that they fall into two distinct categories characterized by their respective internal dynamics of the glycosidic and backbone torsions as well as by their characteristic NE-type (P = 37° ± 27°, Φm = 25° ± 18°) for 1′,2′-constrained nucleosides, and N-type (P = 19° ± 8°, Φm = 48° ± 4°) for 2′,4′-constrained systems, respectively. Moreover, each group has different conformational hyperspace accessible. The effect of the incorporation of 1′,2′-oxetane locked thymidine nucleoside on the structure and dynamics of the Dickerson-Drew dodecamer, d(CGCGAATTCGCG)2, determined by NMR, is discussed in the paper IV. It shows that the incorporation of oxetane locked T into the dodecamer has made local structural deformations and perturbation in base pairing, where the modification is included. The modulations of physico-chemical properties of the nucleobases in nucleotides by the C2′-modification of the sugar (paper V), 5′-phosphate group, and the effect of constrained pentofuranosyl moiety (sugar, paper III) have been studied. CH-π interactions between the methyl group of thymidine and the neighboring aromatic nucleobase are shown to increase the relative stability of the DNA-RNA hybrid duplexes over the isosequential RNA-DNA duplexes or vice versa (paper VI)." @default.
