DNA-catalyzed glycosylation using aryl glycoside donors†
Abstract
We report the identification by in vitro selection of Zn2+/Mn2+-dependent deoxyribozymes that glycosylate the 3′-OH of a DNA oligonucleotide. Both β and α anomers of aryl glycosides can be used as the glycosyl donors. Individual deoxyribozymes are each specific for a particular donor anomer.
