研究実績の概要 |
The proposed cyanogen chloride induced pathway for the synthesis of RNA and peptides includes: 1. phosphorylation of nucleosides to nucleotides; 2. activation of nucleotides to their 5′-phosphorimidazoles for RNA polymerization;3. activation of amino acids to peptides and deprotection. This year, the feasibility of cyanogen chloride activated polymerization of amino acids in the solid-phase peptide synthesis has been demonstrated. We also observed that activation of nucleotides to their 5′-phosphorimidazoles for RNA polymerization and amino acids polymerization can occur in a one-pot synthesis using cyanogen chloride as a common activating agent.

理由
This project was divided into two stages. Stage 1 is to explore cyanogen chloride activated phosphorylation of nucleosides to nucleotides, and stage 2 is to assess cyanogen chloride (ClCN) activated polymerization of amino acids to peptides. This project was scheduled to be finished in two years. In the original plan, stage 1 would be finished last year. Since I already had some primary result of stage 2, so I changed the sequence of the project plan and continued to explore the feasibility of stage 2 and finished the goals of stage 2.

今後の研究の推進方策 |
All the experiments in the stage 2 have been finished. I am writing the paper now to summary the whole results in the stage 2. I will continue to explore the possibility of stage 1 this year.

次年度使用額が生じた理由 |
My kid was born last year, and I need to take care of her, so I don't have much time to do the lab work and travel to the meeting. Next year, I will use the remaining budget to buy the chemicals to continue the experiments in the proposed experiments in stage 1 and pay the open access fee for the submitted paper which summaries the whole results in the stage 2.
