		Alternatively, interaction with a cationic nucleobase might activate the 2´ oxyanion nucleophile, or the nucleobase could act as a general acid to protonate the leaving group during the breaking of 5´ oxygen-phosphorus bonds (Fig.
		A cationic nucleobase should contribute electrostatic stabilization to the transition state for both cleavage and ligation reactions, because the transition state is identical in forward and reverse reactions.
		In contrast, a nucleobase that contributes general acid catalysis to the cleavage reaction should contribute general base catalysis to ligation as the 5´ oxygen becomes the nucleophile and the 2´ oxygen becomes the leaving group.

	Functional Differences in Nucleoside and Nucleobase Transporters Expressed on the Rabbit Corneal Epithelial Cell Line ...
		Uptake of adenine was inhibited by purine nucleobases but not by the nucleosides or pyrimidine nucleobases and was independent of sodium, energy, and nitrobenzylthioinosine.
		Nucleoside and nucleobase transporters on rabbit cornea and corneal epithelial cell line, SIRC, are functionally different, undermining the utility of the SIRC cell line as an in vitro screening tool for elucidating the corneal permeation mechanism of nucleoside analogs.
		The observed differences in the nucleoside/ nucleobase transporter types expressed on the isolated rabbit cornea and SIRC cell line may thus be evolutionary in nature or could be the result of cell culture conditions.

		Interestingly, one copper-containing adenylated template displayed a remarkable enzyme-like activity of oxygen insertion between an aromatic C-H bond; an activity reminiscent of hydroxylase/oxidase protein enzymes that catalyze biosynthesis of tyrosine and catecholamines.
		We are currently applying the knowledge of nucleobase polymer catalysis to other interesting chemical and biochemical reactions.

		Rescue increased with decreasing pH for both cleavage and the reverse reaction of ligation, arguing against a role for the rescuing nucleobase as a general acid because a nucleobase that contributes general acid catalysis in the cleavage pathway should provide general base catalysis in ligation.
		Analysis of the concentration dependence of nucleobase rescue at high and low pH indicated that protonation promotes catalysis within the nucleobase-bound ribozyme complex but does not stabilize nucleobase binding in the ground state.

		The protecting groups are attached to the nucleobase derivative (R") before it is reacted with the alpha-anomer enriched carbohydrate of formulas II and V and are removed subsequent thereto.
		Preferred amino protecting groups (W) for purine nucleobase derivatives are selected from the group consisting of alkylcarbonyls, haloalkylcarbonyls and arylcarbonyls such as pivaloyl, trifluoroacetyl, naphthoyl, formyl and acetyl.
		This makes the nucleobase derivative more aromatic and enhances the reactivity of the nucleobase derivative with the alpha-anomer enriched carbohydrate of formulas II and V. It is most convenient to enolize the keto oxygens and provide silyl protecting groups for them.

		The hydrogen bonding pattern of the 2-aminopurine nucleobase (N1 acceptor, H-N2 donor) is isomeric with that of adenosine (N1 acceptor, H-N6 donor).
		The 2'-deoxyribonucleoside phosphoramidite 8-Aza-7-deaza-dA CEP, also known as PPA CEP, features a nucleobase that is isosteric with adenine but offers a different pi-electron distribution and thus an altered dipole moment, resulting in stronger stacking interactions in oligonucleotides.
		The uracil nucleobase is identical to that found in uridine except that it is attached to the ribose ring via C5 rather than N1, i.e., it is a C-nucleoside.

		All Kinetoplastid parasites studied to date are unable to synthesize purines de novo and rely on purine nucleobase and nucleoside acquisition across the parasite plasma membrane by specific permeases.
		Together these results demonstrate that LmNT3 is a new member of the ENT family with primary affinity for nucleobases and is likely to play a major role in purine nucleobase incorporation in Leishmania.
		These results also suggest that nucleobase transporters in kinetoplastid parasites are unrelated to any of the three families of classical nucleobase transporters that have been identified previously in bacteria, fungi, and plants.

		When ATRP of thymine monomers, using cytosine-functional initiators is performed in the presence of this template, complexation of the complementary nucleobases will result in copying the template characteristics onto the newly formed polymer.
		Other effects that will be investigated are spacer length between backbone and nucleobase, and different types of backbones.
		The combination of template design, the availability of all 4 nucleobase monomers and the use of ATRP as polymerization technique will create the optimal conditions for the occurrence of template polymerization.

		The pyrimidine nucleobases uracil and cytosine are particularly attractive candidates for modification in PNA because of the wealth of established chemistry for them.
		Another facile route to nucleobase modification that we have pursued is via the cross-coupling between terminal alkynes and a halogenated nucleobase, either uracil or cytosine.
		We have found that the luminescent properties of these compounds varies with the nature of the substituent on the 5-membered ring ("R") and are currently investigating their use as DNA probes.

		For example, a nucleobase T binds to a Watson-Crick base-pairing of T-A by Hoogsteen hydrogen bonds between an AxT pair (x represents a Hoogsteen base pair).
		In this triplex, a nucleobase A binds to a T-A base pair and a G to a C-G pair.
		Since the nucleobases on the third strand have to be reversed, the homopurine third strand is antiparallel to the homopurine strand of the original duplex.

		This result implies that the nucleobase transporters of these parasites are ENT family members and are not related to other nucleobase transporters previously identified in fungi or plants.
		This gene has been expressed in a mutant strain of yeast that is deficient in nucleobase transport and shown to promote uptake of the 4 purine nucleobases.
		Overall, these studies have defined for the first time the nucleobase transporters of trypanosomatid protozoa and extended the function of the ENT family of permeases to those that are committed to the uptake of nucleobases.

		Human DNA is constantly barraged by a variety of environmental agents, including UV light and chemicals, as well as by reactive oxygen species (ROS), which are produced as byproducts of normal metabolic reactions or as molecular executors of host defense.
		These agents may cause the nucleobases in DNA to spontaneously undergo a chemical transformation known as oxidation.

		The mode of action of these compounds appears to be their interaction with the purine nucleobases of DNA.
		An understanding of the reactions using simple nucleobase derivatives such as 9-ethyladenine and 9-ethylguanine is important to understand the coordination chemistry of metals to nucleobases since this is proposed to be the source of anticancer activity of these dimetal systems.
		As a result of binding to nucleobases, the metal is able to alter the biological system such that replication is halted and cell death occurs.
