| Abstract | Pb2+ is a very important metal cofactor in DNAzyme catalysis. GR5 is the first reported DNAzyme, and 17E is the most thoroughly studied. Both have the highest activity with Pb2+ and are by far the fastest RNA-cleaving DNAzymes. GR5 reacts only with Pb2+ while 17E is also active with a number of other divalent metal ions. It is also interesting to note that Pb2+ shows activity with most RNA-cleaving DNAzymes. To understand these Pb2+-dependent DNAzymes and the occurrence of DNAzyme sequences, herein systematic mutation studies are performed on GR5. A comparison with 17E is also made. The A6, G7, C13, and G14 positions in 17E have been previously established to be crucial and we report A6, G7, C14, and G15 in GR5 to have the same role. The guanine at the cleavage site dinucleotide junction of the substrate strand is also mutated to hypoxanthine, 2-aminopurine, and adenine. Again, both enzymes show the same trend of activity change. Our results suggest that both DNAzymes have a similar binding pocket for Pb2+. The reason for Pb2+ being active in many DNAzymes is attributed to its simple binding motif requirement. Finally, we propose that 17E is a special form of GR5. They both have the simple sequence requirements needed for Pb2+-dependent activity, but 17E has additional motifs making it active also with other divalent metal ions. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
