Abstract
This review outlines the design and synthesis of oligonucleotides bearing 2-modified residues at predetermined positions within the strand. The relative merits of incorporation of reactive carboxyl, carbonyl, iodoacetamide and disulfide-containing groups into oligonucleotides were considered along with solid-phase synthesis of DNA 2- conjugates. The specific cross-linking of 2-substituted oligonucleotides to nucleic acid-binding proteins (transcription factor NF-κB, restriction-modification enzymes) was shown to be helpful in scanning the protein-DNA interface and studying the conformational dynamics of biopolymer ensembles. The future perspectives of chemically reactive DNA constructs as specific protein decoys are discussed.

Catalytic C-H bond activation as a tool for functionalization of heterocycles
The major topic is the functionalization of heterocycles through catalyzed C-H bond activation. The strategies based on C-H activation not only provide straightforward formation of C-C or C-X bonds but, more importantly, allow for the avoidance of pre-functionalization of one or two of the cross-coupling partners. The beneficial impact of ...read more
