To assess the contribution to discrimination afforded by base pair hydrogen bonding during DNA replication by the human mitochondrial DNA polymerase, we examined nucleoside mimics lacking hydrogen bond forming capability but retaining the overall ste

We have characterized the role of Watson-Crick hydrogen bonding in the 3'-terminal base pair on the 3'-5' exonuclease activity of the human mitochondrial DNA polymerase. Nonpolar nucleoside analogs of thymidine (dF) and deoxyadenosine (dQ) were used

Formation of a noncanonical base pair between dFTP, a dTTP analogue that cannot form H bonds, and the fluorescent base analogue 2-aminopurine (2AP) was studied in order to discover how the bacteriophage T4 DNA polymerase selects nucleotides with high

We report the first pre-steady-state kinetic studies of DNA replication in the absence of hydrogen bonds. We have used nonpolar nucleotide analogues that mimic the shape of a Watson-Crick base pair to investigate the kinetic consequences of a lack of

The efficiency and fidelity of nucleotide incorporation by high-fidelity replicative DNA polymerases (Pols) are governed by the geometric constraints imposed upon the nascent base pair by the active site. Consequently, these polymerases can efficient

The Escherichia coli DNA repair enzymes Fpg and MutY are involved in the prevention of mutations resulting from 7,8-dihydro-8-oxo-2'-deoxyguanosine (OG) in DNA. The nonpolar isosteres of 2'-deoxyadenosine, 4-methylbenzimidazole beta-deoxynucleoside (

Classical high-fidelity DNA polymerases discriminate between the correct and incorrect nucleotides by using geometric constraints imposed by the tight fit of the active site with the incipient base pair. Consequently, Watson-Crick (W-C) hydrogen bond

We report studies testing the importance of Watson–Crick hydrogen bonding, base-pair geometry, and steric effects during DNA replication in living bacterial cells. Nonpolar DNA base shape mimics of thymine and adenine (abbreviated F and Q, respecti

Human telomerase is a reverse-transcriptase enzyme that synthesizes the multikilobase repeating hexamer telomere sequence (TTAGGG) n at the ends of chromosomes. Here we describe a designed approach to mimicry of telomerase, in which synthetic DNA nan

We describe the preparation and structure of the deoxyribonucleoside of 4-fluoro-6-methylbenzimidazole, abbreviated dH (8), which acts as a close shape mimic of the nucleoside deoxyguanosine. The nucleoside is prepared from 2-fluoro-4-methylaniline i
