Oligoribonucleotides carrying 5-ethyluridine units were prepared using solid-phase phosphoramidite chemistry. The introduction of the tert-butyldimethylsilyl group at the 2'-OH position proceeded in good yield and very high 2'-regioselectivity. RNA duplexes carrying 5-ethyluridine either at the sense or the guide strands

Decadeoxyribonucleotides containing uracil, 5-bromouracil, 5-cyanouracil and 5-ethyluracil in recognition sequences of restriction endonucleases Bgl II, Sau 3AI, Mbo I were synthesized. Decanucleotides containing 5-bromouracil in place of thymine had essentially the same susceptibility to all the restriction endonucleases. Uracil-containing decanucleotides

Dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) is the rate-limiting enzyme of 5-fluorouracil (FU) catabolism. Ethynyluracil (776C) is a very potent, mechanism-based irreversible DPD inhibitor that improves the antitumor efficacy and the therapeutic index of FU in laboratory animals. We tested the cytotoxic effects

We have measured steady-state kinetics of the N6-adenine methyltransferase Dam Mtase using as substrates non-selfcomplementary tetradecamer duplexs (d[GCCGGATCTAGACG]-d[CGTCTAGATCC-GGC]) containing the hemimethylated GATC target sequence in one or the other strand and modifications in the GATC target sequence of the complementary

Steady-state kinetics of the N6-adenine Dam methyltransferase have been measured using as substrates non-self-complementary tetradecanucleotide duplexes that contain the GATC target sequence. Modifications in the GATC target sequence of one or both of the strands included substitution of guanine by
