The triphosphates were good substrates for KOD XL DNA polymerase in primer extension synthesis of modified DNA. The nucleotide bearing linear 3,5-dioxohexyl group (HDO) efficiently reacted with arginine-containing peptides to form stable pyrimidine-linked conjugates, whereas the branched 2-acetyl-3-oxo-butyl (PDO) group was not reactive. Reaction with Lys or a terminal amino group formed enamine adducts that were prone to hydrolysis. This reactive HDO modification in DNA was used for bioconjugations and cross-linking with Arg-containing peptides or proteins (e.g. histones). The aim of the present study was to describe the local situation in community pharmacies in Jordan by assessing the baseline resources available in terms of workforce, premises and services provided. A survey was developed and administered to community pharmacists from Amman, the capital of Jordan, and Irbid, a large city in North Jordan. Three hundred sixty-seven community pharmacists, 167 from Amman and 200 from Irbid, completed the surveys. The community pharmacists were mostly females (66.6%) and predominantly (about three quarters) younger than 30years old. The community pharmacists were in independent (69.2%) and chain (30.8%) pharmacies. Respondent pharmacists reported delivering medication review services (93.1% of the respondents delivered the service), smoking-cessation services (86.7%), nutrition services (71.5%), blood pressure testing (86.7%), diabetes screening (86.9%) and home delivery (18.8%). Patient counselling is carried out by 94.5% of respondents. Community pharmacists spend most of their time dispensing prescriptions and counselling patients on prescription and non-prescription medicines and chronic diseases.
