DNA-protein interactions can be monitored via different ways. We introduce novel, fast and simple approaches in DNA-protein interaction detection based on electrochemical measurements of DNA alone (structure-sensitive DNA sensing), or DNA modified with osmium tetroxide bearing nitrogenous ligands, or measurements of redox-active moieties enzymatically attached to the end of a DNA substrate thus forming a labeled tail (by terminal transferase).

Nucleobase labelling of DNA for electrochemical sensing was attained through chemical modification of thymine bases with osmium tetroxide in the presence of nitrogenous ligands, or via enzymatic incorporation of nucleotide conjugates with redox-active moieties using labelled deoxynucleoside triphosphates. DNA hybridization, primer extension and PCR techniques were used for sequence-specific DNA assays. Tail-labelled DNA substrates were applied to monitor DNA binding by tumour suppressor p53 protein.

Direct enzymatic synthesis of aldehyde-functionalized DNA and its conjugation with hydrazines and amines
Raindlová, Veronika ; Hocek, Michal
A new simple methodology for DNA conjugation or staining was developed. 2′-Deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates (dNTPs) bearing reactive aldehyde group were prepared by one-step Suzuki cross-coupling reaction of halogenated dNTPs with boronic acid. These modified dNTPs were enzymatically incorporated into DNA by primer extension (PEX) or amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using different DNA polymerases. The followup reaction between aldehyde-modified PCR products and hydrazine derivatives gave coloured DNA conjugated hydrazones. This methodology was also used for further conjugations of aldehyde-modified 2′-deoxyribonucleoside monophosphates (dNMPs) with amines by reductive amination.

Modular synthesis of 5-substituted thiophene and furan C-nucleosides and their analogues
Bárta, Jan ; Hocek, Michal
A new modular and efficient methodology for the preparation of 5-substituted thiophen-2-yl and 5-substituted furan-2-yl C-nucleosides was developed. A Friedel–Crafts-type of C-glycosidation of 2-bromothiophene or 2-bromofuran with bis-toluoyl protected methyl- 2′-deoxyribofuranoside in presence of Lewis acid gave the desired bis-toluoyl protected 5-bromothiophne and 5-bromofuran C-nucleosides in good yields. They were used as key intermediates for Stille or Suzuki coupling whith (hetero)arylstannanes or boronic acids to afford a series of 5-(hetero)aryl thiophene and 5-(heteroaryl)furan C-nucleosides.

Development of a general and modular approach to C-nucleosides
Kubelka, Tomáš ; Štefko, Martin ; Bárta, Jan ; Joubert, Nicolas ; Urban, Milan ; Chapuis, Hubert Jean ; Hocek, Michal
Highly efficient and modular approach was developed for the synthesis of various types of new (het)aryl C-nucleosides. This protocol consists of the synthesis of haloaryl-C-nucleoside intermediates, followed by a functional group transformation to introduce various substituents. Using this approach protected 2′-deoxy-C-nucleosides bearing halogenated benzene, pyridine, thiophene, furane and pyrimidine were prepared. These intermediates were then submitted to a wide range of palladium-catalyzed reactions. The same approach was also used for preparation of C-nucleosides bearing ribofuranose moiety. Functional ribofuranosides bearing diverse substituted pyridine and benzene nucleobases were prepared in this way.
