  • matrix assisted laser desorption mass spectrometry of homopolymer Oligodeoxyribonucleotides influence of base composition on the mass spectrometric response
    Journal of Mass Spectrometry, 1993
    Co-Authors: Klaus Schneider, Brian T Chait
    Abstract:

    Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS) has the potential for providing a rapid alternative to gel electrophoresis for DNA sequence analysis provided that an intense mass spectrometric response can be obtained from mixtures of DNA fragments containing up to 300 nucleotides. MALDI-MS has not yet proved viable for such analyses because the MS response falls off rapidly for mixed-base DNA fragments containing more than 20–30 nucleotides. Previous studies have demonstrated that base composition is a critical factor in the MALDI-MS response of Oligodeoxyribonucleotides. This paper describes an investigation of the physical roots of the observed influence of base composition on the mass spectrometric response, focusing on homopolymer Oligodeoxyribonucleotides (dT7, dT10, dT18, dT36, dG7, dG10, dG18, dI18 and dU18) and dT5G5. Forty-eight different matrix compounds were tested for their ability to produce laser desorption masses spectra from such homopolymer Oligodeoxyribonucleotides. Considerably stronger mass spectrometric responses were obtained from polydeoxythymidines than from polydeoxyguanosines, polydeoxycytidines and polydeoxyadenosines. Although mass spectral peaks corresponding to dT18 were observed from 20 of the matrices studied, no discernible response was observed for dG18 from any of these matrices. To elucidate the physical basis for origins of the observed differences in response, a number of factors were investigated including the ionization efficiency, the tendency towards fragmentation and the extent to which the Oligodeoxyribonucleotides were incorporated into the matrix crystals. The results of these experiments indicate that low ionization efficiency is not a likely main contributor to the low response to polydeoxyguanosines, fragmentation is a likely main contributor to the low response to polydeoxyguanosines, the overall incorporation of polydeoxyguanosines into matrix crystals is comparable to that for polydeoxythymidines and the exocyclic amino group of guanosine, adenosine and cytidine has a strong inhibitory effect on the mass spectrometric response.

  • dna photo cross linking using 3 cyanovinylcarbazole modified oligonucleotide with threoninol linker
    Organic Letters, 2015
    Co-Authors: Takashi Sakamoto, Yuya Tanaka, Kenzo Fujimoto
    Abstract:

    3-Cyanovinylcarbazole modified d-threoninol (CNVD) was incorporated in oligodeoxyribonucleotide and tested for a photo-cross-linking reaction with complementary oligodeoxyribonucleotide. The photoreactivity was 1.8- to 8-fold greater than that of 3-cyanovinylcarbazole modified deoxyribose (CNVK) previously reported. From the results of melting analysis and circular dichroism spectroscopy of the duplexes, the relatively flexible structure of CNVD compared with CNVK might be advantageous for [2 + 2] photocycloaddition between the cyanovinyl group on the CNVD and pyrimidine base in the complementary strand.
