5-Bromouracil ((Br)U) was incorporated into three types of synthetic RNA and the products of the photoirradiated (Br)U-containing RNAs were investigated using HPLC and MS analysis. The photoirradiation of r(GCA(Br)UGC)(2) and r(CGAA(Br)UUGC)/r(GCAAUUCG) in A-form RNA produced the corresponding 2'-keto adenosine ((keto)A)

We have investigated the products of (Br)U in excess electron transfer and have demonstrated that in DNA the proportion of products changes with the distance between the donor and acceptor. On the basis of a labeling experiment using H(2)(18)O, we

Density functional theory calculations on the canonical (keto) and rare (enol) tautomeric forms of uracil and 5-bromouracil in a cluster consisting of 50 water molecules are presented. The keto form of uracil is favored over the enol tautomer in both
Electron transfer in DNA has been intensively studied to elucidate its biological roles and for applications in bottom-up DNA nanotechnology. Recently, mechanisms of electron transfer to DNA have been investigated; however, most of the systems designed are intramolecular. Here, we
