title: Artificial DNAs with metal-assisted base pairs.
abstract: Two types of artificial beta-C-nucleosides, 2 and 3, were newly synthesized, which possess a metal chelating site (2-aminophenol and catechol, respectively) at the nucleobase moiety. These nucleosides are expected to form metal-assisted base pairs in oligonucleotides and thereby to control high-order structures and functions of DNAs.
