Sugar-based Hydroxylation or Dehydroxylation Modification Service

Sugar groups play key structural and functional roles in nucleosides and nucleotides. Hydroxylation or dehydroxylation modification of the sugar group can trigger a series of important biological processes and participate in the regulation of various physiological processes, which has a profound impact on the physiological activities of cells. In nucleosides and nucleotides, the sugar group is usually deoxyribose or ribose. Hydroxylation or dehydroxylation reactions can change the oxidation state of the sugar group, mainly by introducing or removing a hydroxyl group on the sugar ring. Such modifications can alter the chemistry and function of nucleic acids, which in turn affects biological processes such as DNA and RNA stability, replication, transcription, and translation. In conclusion, the hydroxylation or dehydroxylation reactions of the sugar groups of nucleosides and nucleotides are important sugar group modification processes in living organisms, which are crucial for gene expression, signaling, bioenergetic metabolism, and other physiological functions.

Sugar-based Hydroxylation or Dehydroxylation Modification Service at CD BioGlyco

As a provider of Custom Sugar-nucleotides Synthesis Services, CD BioGlyco provides professional Nucleoside & Nucleotide Modification Services with a powerful Glyco™ Synthesis Platform. Our specialized scientific team has a deep research background and rich experience. They are familiar with the nucleoside & nucleotide modification methods and have the latest techniques and tools. With professional knowledge and skills, we provide high-quality hydroxylation or dehydroxylation modification services to our clients. The specific strategies we offer include the following:

  • Enzyme-catalyzed modification
    We use enzymes to catalyze an oxidation reaction of a substrate that converts the hydroxyl group in the substrate to a carbonyl group. Either the hydroxyl group is removed from the substrate using enzyme catalysis or a position in the substrate is hydroxylated and modified using enzyme catalysis to introduce a new hydroxyl group.
  • Chemical modification
    We use chemical reagents for the hydroxylation or dehydroxylation of sugar groups. For example, a sugar group hydroxylation reaction is carried out using an oxidizing agent such as hydrogen peroxide or nitric acid, which introduces a hydroxyl group to the sugar ring. In addition, an oxidizing agent such as nitrous acid can be used to subject the sugar group to a hydroxylation or dehydroxylation reaction by oxidation. Conversely, reducing agents such as sulfites or hydrides can be used to reduce the hydroxyl group to hydrogen.

Applications

  • Modified nucleotides can be used in the field of protein engineering to modulate the expression level of proteins, and alter their stability or functional properties by constructing modified DNA sequences.
  • The technique of nucleotide modification can be widely used in drug development. Modification of structures allows for improvement in the efficacy and stability of biological compounds and reduces toxicity and side effects.
  • Modified nucleic acids can be used as primers or probes for specific amplification and detection of target DNA sequences.
