Description

The transposition of atoms or groups in the purine nucleobase of G/dG provides isomers that have altered base-pairing capabilities. We offer a family of guanosine isomers in nucleoside and phosphoramidite forms.

Isoguanosines are important in the field of non-natural base pairing. In 1989, Benner and co-workers¹ reported the enzymatic incorporation of iso-G into RNA and DNA and characterized the distinct non-natural base pairing that resulted, especially pairing involving the similarly transposed isomer of dC known as iso-dC (we offer the closely-related compound 5-Methyliso-dC, PY 7255

Iso-G and Iso-dG are part of a family that includes Guanosine (PR 3703) , 2'-Deoxyguanosine (PR 3452) , the isomeric nucleosides 2'-Deoxypseudoguanosine (Pseudo-dG, PRA 10103) , 2'-Deoxypseudoisoguanosine (Pseudoiso-dG, PRA 10104) and the phosphoramidites Pseudo-dG CEP (BA 0312) and Pseudoiso-dG CEP (BA 0314)

Notes

Isoguanosine (Iso-G, PR 3735) and 2'-Deoxyisoguanosine (Iso-dG, PR 3465) are isomeric with G/dG, differing by transposition of the carbonyl group at position 6 of G or dG with the C-NH₂ group at position 2, providing a novel hydrogen bond donor/acceptor pattern.

Alternate Name(s):

Iso-G;

2-hydroxy adenosine;

Description

Methylation of specific adenines in a DNA strand by dam methylase (EC2.1.1.37) is thought to be involved in DNA strand replication during post-replicative mismatch repair and in central gene expression.

Description

When incorporated into nucleic acids, may be of use in studies of enzymatic and chemical methylation as well as Tm-leveling studies. Please contact us if you are interested in the cyanoethyl phosphoramidite of this nucleoside for incorporation into oligonucleotides.

Alternate Name(s):

2'-Deoxy-1-methylguanosine

1-Methyl-2'-deoxyguanosine

Description

7-Methylinosine is an alternative to MESG for measurement of inorganic phosphate in the presence of purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNPase).

Rieger, C. E.; Lee, J.; Turnbull, J. L. Anal. Biochem. 1997, 246, 86-95.

Description

7-Methyl-6-thioguanosine (MESG, Abs = 330 nm) forms 7-methyl-6-thioguanine (Abs = 355 nm) in the presense of inorganic phosphate and purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP) and thus constitutes a rapid and sensitive assay for phosphate. If inorganic pyrophosphatase is present, MESG may also be used to detect inorganic pyrophosphate.

MESG should be used as soon as possible after dissolution.
