Modification of nucleosides and nucleotides is pivotal in the functional regulation of cells and life activities. The function of DNA and RNA can be modulated by changing their structure and introducing different chemical groups. Such modifications are essential to the process of drug discovery and development. For example, by targeting specific nucleotide modifications, researchers can design drugs with specific biological activities to inhibit the growth of pathogens or treat certain genetic diseases. Modifications such as glycosylation, phosphorylation, and acetylation can change nucleotide molecule charge state and structure thus impacting signaling pathways The techniques of nucleotide modification can also be used for gene editing. By modifying nucleotide molecules, researchers can design and develop nucleic acid sequences with specific functions for editing or repairing a patient's genes, which is important for several inherited diseases.

Results: This review explores the applications of nucleobase-modified nucleosides and nucleotides—analogs lacking conventional hydrogen-bonding groups. The author details their use as mechanistic probes to study DNA polymerase activity and fidelity, revealing that hydrogen bonding is not essential for replication and highlighting roles for desolvation, shape complementarity, and π-stacking. The article further discusses their application in synthetic biology for expanding the genetic code beyond natural base pairs (e.g., Ds:Px pair) and creating novel aptamers. Finally, it covers their therapeutic potential, particularly in cancer treatment, where analogs like 5-nitroindole derivatives can inhibit translesion DNA synthesis (TLS) and enhance the efficacy of DNA-damaging agents like temozolomide.
Our nucleoside & nucleotide modification enables precise tailoring of molecular properties (e.g., stability, targeting) for therapeutic or diagnostic research. To support these advanced modifications, we provide comprehensive precursor and quality control services:
