Triazole-linked analogue of deoxyribonucleic acid ((TL)DNA): design, synthesis, and double-strand formation with natural DNA

Abstract

A new triazole-linked analogue of DNA ((TL)DNA) has been designed and synthesized using click chemistry. The chain elongation reaction using copper-catalyzed Huisgen cycloaddition was successful and gave the artificial oligonucleotide that formed a stable double strand with the complementary strand of natural DNA.
