Abstract
Inspired by recent interest in DNAzymes as transition metal ion sensors, a survey of the effects of various transition metals on the intramolecular cleavage rate of an imidazole modified, M(2+)-independent, self-cleaving "9(25)-11" DNA is reported. In particular, 9(25)-11 activity was strongly inhibited by Hg(2+)(K(d)(APP)= 110 +/- 9 nM). It is postulated that the affinity and selectivity of 9(25)-11 for Hg(2+) stems from the fact that this synthetically modified DNAzyme contains imidazoles. This study demonstrates the utility of modified nucleotides in developing DNAzyme sensors for metals ions, especially those for which unmodified nucleic acids might not serve as inherently good ligands.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
