NMR structure of a new modified Thrombin Binding Aptamer containing a 5'-5' inversion of polarity site
Overview
The solution structure of a new modified thrombin binding aptamer (TBA), containing a 5'-5' inversion of polarity site, namely, d(3'GGT5'-5'TGGTGTGGTTGG3'), is reported. NMR and CD spectroscopy, as well, as molecular dynamic and mechanic calculations, have been used to, characterize the 3D structure. The modified oligonucleotide is, characterized by a chair-like structure consisting of two G-tetrads, connected by three edge-wise TT, TGT and TT loops., d(3'GGT5'-5'TGGTGTGGTTGG3') is characterized by an unusual folding, being, three strands parallel to each other and only one strand oriented in, opposite manner. This led to an anti-anti-anti-syn and syn-syn-syn-anti, arrangement of the Gs in the two tetrads. The thermal stability of the, modified oligonucleotide is 4 degrees C higher than the corresponding, unmodified TBA. d(3'GGT5'-5'TGGTGTGGTTGG3') continues to display an, anticoagulant activity, even if decreased with respect to the TBA.
