Abstract

UNLABELLED: MatrixPlot is a program for making high-quality matrix plots, such as mutual information plots of sequence alignments and distance matrices of sequences with known three-dimensional coordinates. The user can add information about the sequences (e.g. a sequence logo profile) along the edges of the plot, as well as zoom in on any region in the plot. AVAILABILITY: MatrixPlot can be obtained on request, and can also be accessed online at http://www. cbs.dtu.dk/services/MatrixPlot. CONTACT: gorodkin@cbs.dtu.dk

In vitro selection of functional nucleic acids.

In vitro selection allows rare functional RNA or DNA molecules to be isolated from pools of over 10(15) different sequences. This approach has been used to identify RNA and DNA ligands for numerous small molecules, and recent three-dimensional structure solutions have revealed the basis for ligand recognition in several cases. By selecting high-affinity and -specificity nucleic acid ligands for proteins, promising new therapeutic and diagnostic reagents have been identified. Selection experiments have also been carried out to identify ribozymes that catalyze a variety of chemical transformations, including RNA cleavage, ligation, and synthesis, as well as alkylation and acyl-transfer reactions and N-glycosidic and peptide bond formation. The existence of such RNA enzymes supports the notion that ribozymes could have directed a primitive metabolism before the evolution of protein synthesis. New in vitro protein selection techniques should allow for a direct comparison of the frequency of ligand binding and catalytic structures in pools of random sequence polynucleotides versus polypeptides.

Some aspects of oligoribonucleotides synthesis via the H-phosphonate approach.

This review gives a short account of selected aspects of oligoribonucleotide synthesis via the H-phosphonate method. It includes: (i) recent methods for the preparation of suitably protected ribonucleoside 3'-H-phosphonates (the phosphonylation step), (ii) some chemical and stereochemical features of the formation of H-phosphonate internucleosidic linkages, and (iii) stereoselective synthesis of oligoribonucleoside phosphorothioates using chemo-enzymatic approach.
