Fluorescence properties and base pair stability of oligonucleotides containing 8-aza-7-deaza-2'-deoxyisoinosine or 2'-deoxyisoinosine.

The fluorescence and the base pairing properties of 8-aza-7-deaza-2'-deoxyisoinosine (1) are described and compared with those of 2'-deoxyisoinosine (2). The corresponding phosphoramidites (11, 12) are synthesized using the diphenylcarbamoyl (DPC) residue for the 2-oxo group protection. The nucleosides 1 and 2 base pair with 2'-deoxy-5-methylisocytidine in DNA duplexes with antiparallel chain orientation and with 2'-deoxycytidine in a parallel DNA. These base pairs are less stable than the canonical dA-dT pair and that of 2'-deoxyinosine (4) with 2'-deoxycytidine. The fluorescence of the nucleosides 1 and 2 is quenched (approximately 95%) in duplex DNA. The residual fluorescence is used to determine the Tm-values, which are found to be the same as determined UV-spectrophotometrically.[1]
