Molecules that reversibly bind DNA and trigger the formation of non-Watson−Crick secondary structures would be useful in the design of dynamic DNA nanostructures and as potential leads for new therapeutic agents. We demonstrate that coralyne, a small crescent-shaped molecule, promotes the formation of a duplex secondary structure from homo-adenine oligonucleotides. AFM studies reveal that the staggered alignment of homo-adenine oligonucleotides upon coralyne binding produces polymers of micrometers in length, but only 2 nm in height. A DNA duplex was also studied that contained eight A·A mismatches between two flanking 7-bp Watson−Crick helices. CD spectra confirm that the multiple A·A mismatches of this duplex bind coralyne in manner similar to that of homo-adenine oligonucleotides. Furthermore, the melting temperature of this hybrid duplex increases by 13 °C upon coralyne binding. These observations illustrate that the helical structure of the homo-adenine−coralyne duplex is compatible with the B-form DNA helix.

Synthesis of Functionalized Novel alpha-Amino-beta-alkoxyphosphonates through Regioselective Ring Opening of Aziridine-2-phosphonates Polat-Cakir, Sidika; Beksultanova, Nurzhan; Doğan, Özdemir (Wiley, 2019-11-01) Aziridines are highly useful compounds as building blocks for the synthesis of important organic compounds. Amino acid synthesis by aziridine ring opening reaction is a good example to the use of aziridines. Although this reaction is studied by many groups, the synthesis of amino phosphonic acids is less explored. In this study, we have carried out the ring opening reaction of aziridinyl phosphonates with a variety of alcohols including the more functional propargylic and allylic alcohols. These reactions p...
GUEST HOST INTERACTIONS IN SODIUM ZEOLITE-Y - STRUCTURAL AND DYNAMIC NA-23 DOUBLE-ROTATION NMR-STUDY OF H2O, PME3, MO(CO)6, AND MO(CO)4(PME3)2 ADSORPTION IN NA56Y JELINEK, R; Özkar, Saim; PASTORE, HO; MALEK, A; OZIN, GA (American Chemical Society (ACS), 1993-01-01) Na-23 double-rotation NMR (DOR) provides site-specific structural and dynamical information on guest-host interactions within sodium zeolite Y pores. Quantitative adsorption of H2O, PMe3, and Mo(CO)6 guests affects both the positions and line shapes of the N-23 resonances from specific extraframework Na+ sites. The evolution of the Na-23 DOR spectra with the progressive introduction of guest molecules allows one to probe direct ''solvation'' effects involving the Na+ cations in the larger supercages, as wel...
Bonding self-assembled, compact organophosphonate monolayers to the native oxide surface of silicon Hanson, EL; Schwartz, J; Nickel, B; Koch, N; Danışman, Mehmet Fatih (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2003-12-24) A new method is described to prepare strongly bonded, compact monolayer films of alkyl- or arylphosphonates on the native oxide surface of Si (SiO2/Si). This method is illustrated for octadecyl- and alpha-quarterthiophene-2-phosphonates. For both cases, AFM shows comprehensive coverage of the SiO2/Si surface. The thickness of the continuous film of 4TP/SiO2/Si was measured both by AFM and by X-ray reflectivity to be ca. 18 Angstrom. Direct gravimetric analysis shows surface coverage by alpha-quarterthiophen...
Synthesis, biocompatibility and gene encapsulation of poly(2-Ethyl 2-Oxazoline)-dioleoyl phosphatidylethanolamine (PEtOx-DOPE) and post-modifications with peptides and fluorescent dye coumarin Gulyuz, Sevgi; Bayram, Duygu; Ozkose, Umut Ugur; Bolat, Zeynep Busra; Kocak, Polen; SAKA, ONGUN MEHMET; DEVRİM, BURCU; Khalily, Melek Parlak; TELCİ, DİLEK; ŞAHİN, FİKRETTİN; Özçubukçu, Salih; Sezer, Esma; TAŞDELEN, MEHMET ATİLLA; Alptürk, Onur; BOZKIR, ASUMAN; Yilmaz, Ozgur (Informa UK Limited, 2020-07-01) Liposome surface modifications serve great potential applications of liposomes, for instance, increasing stability, bioactive liposome conjugates, and targeted drug, gene, and image agent delivery. In this study, novel targeted lipopolymers, peptide 18/peptide 563-poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline)-dioleoylphosphatidyl-ethanolamine (P18/P563-PEtOx-DOPE), have been demonstrated to be successfully synthesized. The structures of P18/P563-PEtOx-DOPE were confirmed by FT-IR spectroscopy, GPC, and(1)H-NMR. In this strateg...
Electrophilic Organoiridium(III) Pincer Complexes on Sulfated Zirconia for Hydrocarbon Activation and Functionalization Syed, Zoha H.; Kaphan, David M.; Perras, Frédéric A.; Pruski, Marek; Ferrandon, Magali S.; Wegener, Evan C.; Çelik, Gökhan; Wen, Jianguo; Liu, Cong; Dogan, Fulya; Goldberg, Karen I.; Delferro, Massimiliano (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2019-04-17) Single-site supported organometallic catalysts bring together the favorable aspects of homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis while offering opportunities to investigate the impact of metal–support interactions on reactivity. We report a (dmPhebox)Ir(III) (dmPhebox = 2,6-bis(4,4-dimethyloxazolinyl)-3,5-dimethylphenyl) complex chemisorbed on sulfated zirconia, the molecular precursor for which was previously applied to hydrocarbon functionalization. Spectroscopic methods such as diffuse reflectance infrared...
