title: Construction of nonnatural DNA library.
abstract: Nonnatural DNA polymerase substrates which contain many kinds of modified functional groups are synthesized. The C-5 position of dUTP was modified by amino acid, saccharide. These compounds were incorporated on a DNA double strand using E. Coli DNA polymerase. This nonnatural DNA library contains a larger diversity than native DNA or RNA and has a higher chemical stability than RNA. This library will be useful for in vitro selection study, combinatorial chemistry, and the preparation of supramolecular structures.
