Molecular design of artificial ribonucleases using electrostatic interaction

Nucleosides Nucleotides Nucleic Acids. 2004 Oct;23(6-7):915-20. doi: 10.1081/NCN-200026040.

Abstract

A number of small organic ribonucleases have been synthesized with rigid polycationic structures containing an aromatic framework with two residues of bis-quaternary salts of 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO) bearing various substituents. The compounds carrying positively charged groups connected via rigid linker are expected to bend the sugar-phosphate backbone and can stimulate the intramolecular phosphoester transfer reaction.
