1. 1. Conformationally Constrained Nucleosides, Nucleotides and Oligonucleotides : Design, Synthesis and Properties

   Författare :Dmytro Honcharenko; Jyoti Chattopadhyaya; Piet Herdewijn; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Bioorganic chemistry; antisense oligonucleotides; conformationally constrained nucleosides; azetidine; aza-ENA; target affinity; RNase H; exonuclease stability; pyrene-functionalized nucleotides; fluorescence; mismatch discrimination; Bioorganisk kemi; Cell and molecular biology; Cell- och molekylärbiologi;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis is based on six original research publications describing synthesis, structure and physicochemical and biochemical analysis of chemically modified oligonucleotides (ONs) in terms of their potential diagnostic and therapeutic applications. Synthesis of two types of bicyclic conformationally constrained nucleosides, North-East locked 1',2'-azetidine and North locked 2',4'-aza-ENA, is described. LÄS MER

3. 2. Targeting RNA by the Antisense Approach and a Close Look at RNA Cleavage Reaction

   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Organic chemistry; mRNA targeting; antisense oligonucleotides; target affinity; RNase H; Michaelis-Menten kinetics; exo-nuclease stability; NMR; pH titration; alkaline hydrolysis; Organisk kemi;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis summarizes the results of studies on two aspects of nucleic acids. Chemically modified antisense oligonucleotides (AONs) have been evaluated with regards to their suitability for mRNA targeting in an antisense approach (Paper I – III). LÄS MER

4. 3. Development of a new PNA analogue as a potential antisense drug and tool for life-science studies

   Författare :Andis Slaitas; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : The work described in this thesis focuses on applying synthetic organic chemistry methods (supported by modem synthesizers and analytical techniques) for the preparation of peptides and modified nucleic acids in order to affect certain properties in these biomolecules, which can lead to their application as drugs and/or tools for life sciences studies. The first part of the thesis reports the design and synthesis of a novel pyrrolidine-based peptide nucleic acid (PNA). LÄS MER

5. 4. Advancements in Firefly Luciferase-Based Assays and Pyrosequencing Technology

   Författare :Jonas Eriksson; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :bioluminescence; osmolytes; glycine betaine; thermostability; firefly luciferase; inorganic pyrophosphatase; inorganic pyrophosphate; Pyrosequencing technology; secondary DNA-structures; Sequenase; Klenow-polymerase; reaction rates; temperature;

   Sammanfattning : Pyrosequencing is a new DNA sequencing method relying on thesequencing-by-synthesis principle and bioluminometric detectionof nucleotide incorporation events. The objective of thisthesis was improvement of the Pyrosequencing method byincreasing the thermal stability of firefly luciferase, and byintroducing an alternative DNA polymerase and a new nucleotideanalog.
