Zusammenfassung |
The nonenzymatic template-directed ligation of oligonucleotides containing
2', 3'-cyclic phosphate was investigated in the presence of divalent cations.
Ligation of the oligonucleotides readily occurred in the presence of
Mg2+, Mn2+, Co2+, Zn2+, Pb2+. Efficacy of the metal
ion catalysts inversely correlated with pKa values of the metal-bound water
molecules. The intermolecular transesterification reaction yielded at least
95metal ion. Relatively high reaction yields (up to 15fragmentation to oligonucleotides with 2',3'-cyclic phosphates, followed by
reactions of those oligonucleotides could provide a source of new RNA
molecules under prebiotic conditions. |
