Expanding the chemical diversity of TNA with tUTP derivatives that are substrates for a TNA polymerase

Abstract

Expanding the chemical diversity of threose nucleic acid (TNA) beyond the natural bases would enable the development of TNA polymers with enhanced physicochemical properties. Here, we describe a versatile approach for increasing the chemical diversity of TNA using 5-alkynyl-modified α-L-threofuranosyl uridine triphosphates that are substrates for a TNA polymerase.
