Abstract
A nucleotide C3HQ with a minimal three-carbon backbone displays unprecedented pairing strength and orthogonality in a homopair C3HQ:C3HQ in the presence of one equivalent of Cu2+. The pairing stability in DNA even exceeds the related base pair having the regular 2'-deoxyribose backbone. This discovery of a synergy between an artificial backbone and base-pairing scheme opens new avenues for the economical design of modified oligonucleotides with tailored properties.Entities:
