1. A naturally occurring peptide, termed sarcophagine, has been isolated from larvae of the fleshfly Sarcophaga bullata. 2. The physicochemical properties of the natural peptide are identical with those of synthetic β-alanyl-l-tyrosine. 3. During larval growth the concentration of the dipeptide increases continuously; in the fully grown larva it is the predominant non-protein ninhydrin-positive material. 4. Sarcophagine is rapidly and extensively utilized at the time of hardening and darkening of the insect puparium. 5. By virtue of its much higher solubility than that of free tyrosine, the peptide may serve as a reservoir to provide large amounts of readily available tyrosine for subsequent puparium formation.

We report a universal straightforward strategy for the chemical synthesis of modified oligoribonucleotides containing functional groups of different structures at the 2′ position of ribose. The on-column synthetic concept is based on the incorporation of two types of commercial nucleotide phosphoramidites containing orthogonal 2′-O-protecting groups, namely 2′-O-thiomorpholine-carbothioate (TC, as “permanent”) and 2′-O-tert-butyl(dimethyl)silyl (tBDMS, as “temporary”), to RNA during solid-phase synthesis. Subsequently, the support-bound RNA undergoes selective deprotection and follows postsynthetic 2′ functionalization of the naked hydroxyl group. This convenient method to tailor RNA, utilizing the advantages of solid phase approaches, gives an opportunity to introduce site-specifically a wide range of linkers and functional groups. By this strategy, a series of RNAs containing diverse 2′ functionalities were synthesized and studied with respect to their physicochemical properties.

Abstract DNA polymerases play a central role in biology by transferring genetic information from one generation to the next during cell division. Harnessing the power of these enzymes in the laboratory has fueled an increase in biomedical applications that involve the synthesis, amplification, and sequencing of DNA. However, the high substrate specificity exhibited by most naturally occurring DNA polymerases often precludes their use in practical applications that require modified substrates. Moving beyond natural genetic polymers requires sophisticated enzyme-engineering technologies that can be used to direct the evolution of engineered polymerases that function with tailor-made activities. Such efforts are expected to uniquely drive emerging applications in synthetic biology by enabling the synthesis, replication, and evolution of synthetic genetic polymers with new physicochemical properties.

The structure of naturally occurring anhydrovitamin A2 was elucidated as 3-hydroxyanhydroretinol from study of its u.v.–visible, i.r., n.m.r. and mass spectra. The structure has been confirmed by a chemical synthesis. Saccobranchus fossils, a freshwater fish, can convert 3-hydroxyretinol into 3-hydroxyanhydroretinol, which in turn is converted into-3-dehydroretinol. Chemical conversion of 3-hydroxyretinol into 3-dehydroretinol was also carried out.

The chemical synthesis of 9-[[2-hydroxy-1-(hydroxymethyl)ethoxy]methyl]guanine is described. This compound, known as BIOLF-62, is active against herpesviruses. This compound is a member of a novel class of nucleoside analogues which lack a rigid carbohydrate ring, but which possess all of the functional groups of naturally occurring deoxynucleosides.

The chemical synthesis of molecular probes to identify and study membrane proteins involved in the biological pathway of protein glycosylation is described. Two short-chain glycolipid analogs that mimic the naturally occurring substrate mannosyl phosphoryl dolichol exhibit either photoreactive and clickable properties or allow the use of a fluorescence readout. Both probes consist of a hydrophilic mannose headgroup that is linked to a citronellol derivative via a phosphodiester bridge. Moreover, a novel phosphoramidite chemistry-based method offers a straightforward approach for the non-enzymatic incorporation of the saccharide moiety in an anomerically pure form.
