DNA-Catalyzed Henry Reaction in Pure Water and the Striking Influence of Organic Buffer Systems

In this manuscript we report a critical evaluation of the ability of natural DNA to mediate the nitroaldol (Henry) reaction at physiological temperature in pure water. Under these conditions, no background reaction took place (i.e., control experiment without DNA). Both heteroaromatic aldehydes (e.g...
