General description

Nucleoside triphosphates (NTPs) are important metabolites that are involved in numerous cellular processes. However, due to their anionic nature, NTPs do not readily permeate cell membranes. To overcome this barrier, synthetic analogues that are neutral and more readily transportable are commonly used in cell-based assays. However, these synthetic analogues have a very low efficiency of conversion to active metabolites. Hence there is a need to optimize transport of NTPs into the cells.

BioTracker<TMSYMBOL></TMSYMBOL> NTP-Transporter Molecule has a receptor site, for selectively binding to the NTPs, and a cell penetrating agent. The transporter can bind to NTPs and quickly move them into cells without any apparent damage to the cell membrane or decrease in cell viability. The transported NTP is rapidly liberated from the complex and available in the nuclei for incorporation into DNA. Labeled NTPs can be used for live cell imaging, cell proliferation assays, synthetic biology studies, synthesizing artificial DNA, tracking cell division, research on active antiviral and anticancer nucleotides, among other things.

Chemically modified nucleoside triphosphates (NTPs) are widely exploited as unnatural metabolites in chemical biology and medicinal chemistry. Because anionic NTPs do not permeate cell membranes, their corresponding neutral precursors are employed in cell-based assays. These precursors become active metabolites after

Regulation of the cell cycle involves processes crucial to the survival of a cell, including the detection and repair of genetic damage as well as the prevention of uncontrolled cell division associated with cancer. The cell cycle is a four-stage process in which the cell 1) increases in size (G1-stage), 2) copies its DNA (synthesis, S-stage), 3) prepares to divide (G2-stage), and 4) divides (mitosis, M-stage). Due to their anionic nature, nucleoside triphosphates (NTPs), the building blocks of both RNA and DNA, do not permeate cell membranes.
