title: Synthesis of non-natural DNA using DNA polymerase.
abstract: Nonnatural nucleotide modified by glucose or galactose was synthesized to increase functional diversity of DNA library. These compounds were incorporated in a DNA double strand using Klenow Fragment as well as dTTP. These functional group could be ordered sequentially on a DNA double strand at intervals of few angstroms according to the designed template sequence within a few hours. This method must be useful to constructing nonnatural DNA library or designed supramolecular structures.
