Fission Impossible: Non-hydrolyzable nucleotide analogs

visit product page

To study:

  • protein-protein interactions
  • structure and dynamics of protein-nucleotide-complexes
  • NTPase kinetics
Learn more below!

Crucial cellular processes such as transport, motion and division are orchestrated by a highly diverse set of regulatory phosphatases. To trap these enzymes in their various biologically relevant states, non-hydrolyzable analogs of nucleotides are ideally suited. Jena Bioscience has more than two decades of experience in the preparation of non-hydrolyzable nucleotides, supplying researchers with >50 catalog products (see Scheme 1) of this compound class. At the forefront of science1-10 it is our mission to facilitate your work on:

  • Identification of protein-protein interactions and enzyme substrates
  • Elucidation of structure and dynamics of protein-nucleotide-complexes
  • Kinetic analysis of nucleotide exchange reactions on NTPase

Scheme 1: Overview of Jena Bioscience’s non-hydrolyzable nucleotides. Chemical resistance to hydrolysis can be achieved by replacing bridging oxygens for imido (-NH-) or methylene (-CH2-) moieties. Moreover, phosphorothioates show markedly reduced rates of hydrolysis compared to the corresponding phosphate analogues while preserving a high sterical similarity.
