title: Toward catalytically active oligonucleotides: synthesis of a flavin nucleotide and its incorporation into DNA.
abstract: [reaction--see text] The synthesis of a vitamin B(2)-derived flavin-nucleotide is described. A combined H-phosphonate/phosphoramidite protocol was developed for the first incorporation of flavin coenzymes into a DNA stack. The coenzyme-DNA is predicted to have novel biosensing and catalytic properties.
