Abstract excerpt
Isoguanosine has been incorporated into a 34-mer hammerhead ribozyme by the solid-phase phosphoramidite method, using an acetamidine base protecting group. The activity of the hammerhead ribozyme when singly mutated to isoguanosine at the adenosine positions 6, 9, and 13 was 1-2-fold less than the wild-type activity. Mutations to 2-aminopurine ribonucleoside at positions 9 and 13 were 5-fold reduced in activity,...
