A Scalable Synthesis of α-L-Threose Nucleic Acid Monomers.
    The Journal of organic chemistry, 2016, Mar-18, Volume: 81, Issue:6

    Recent advances in polymerase engineering have made it possible to copy information back and forth between DNA and artificial genetic polymers composed of TNA (α-L-threofuranosyl-(3',2') nucleic acid). This property, coupled with enhanced nuclease stability relative to natural DNA and RNA, warrants further investigation into the structural and functional properties of TNA as an artificial genetic polymer for synthetic biology. Here, we report a highly optimized chemical synthesis protocol for constructing multigram quantities of TNA nucleosides that can be readily converted to nucleoside 2'-phosphoramidites or 3'-triphosphates for solid-phase and polymerase-mediated synthesis, respectively. The synthetic protocol involves 10 chemical transformations with three crystallization steps and a single chromatographic purification, which results in an overall yield of 16-23% depending on the identity of the nucleoside (A, C, G, T).

The structure of a TNA-TNA complex in solution: NMR study of the octamer duplex derived from alpha-(L)-threofuranosyl-(3'-2')-CGAATTCG.
    Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2008, Nov-12, Volume: 130, Issue:45

    TNA (alpha-( l)-threofuranosyl-(3'-2') nucleic acid) is a nucleic acid in which the ribofuranose building block of the natural nucleic acid RNA is replaced by the tetrofuranose alpha-( l)-threose. This shortens the repetitive unit of the backbone by one bond as compared to the natural systems. Among the alternative nucleic acid structures studied so far in our laboratories in the etiological context, TNA is the only one that exhibits Watson-Crick pairing not only with itself but also with DNA and, even more strongly, with RNA. Using NMR spectroscopy, we have determined the structure of a duplex consisting entirely of TNA nucleotides. The TNA octamer (3'-2')-CGAATTCG forms a right-handed double helix with antiparallel strands paired according to the Watson-Crick mode. The dominant conformation of the sugar units has the 2'- and 3'-phosphodiester substituents in quasi-diaxial position and corresponds to a 4'-exo puckering. With 5.85 A, the average sequential P i -P i+1 distances of TNA are shorter than for A-type DNA (6.2 A). The helix parameters, in particular the slide and x-displacement, as well as the shallow and wide minor groove, place the TNA duplex in the structural vicinity of A-type DNA and RNA.
